Daniel 5:5
_ _ In the same hour — that the cause of God’s visitation might be palpable, namely, the profanation of His vessels and His holy name.
_ _ fingers of ... hand — God admonishes him, not by a dream (as Nebuchadnezzar had been warned), or by a voice, but by “fingers coming forth,” the invisibility of Him who moved them heightening the awful impressiveness of the scene, the hand of the Unseen One attesting his doom before the eyes of himself and his guilty fellow revelers.
_ _ against the candlestick — the candelabra; where the mystic characters would be best seen. Barnes makes it the candlestick taken from the temple of Jerusalem, the nearness of the writing to it intimating that the rebuke was directed against the sacrilege.
_ _ upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace — Written in cuneiform letters on slabs on the walls, and on the very bricks, are found the perpetually recurring recital of titles, victories, and exploits, to remind the spectator at every point of the regal greatness. It is significant, that on the same wall on which the king was accustomed to read the flattering legends of his own magnificence, he beholds the mysterious inscription which foretells his fall (compare Proverbs 16:18; Acts 12:21-23).
_ _ part of the hand — the anterior part, namely, the fingers. |
Daniel 5:5
Came forth fingers — The likeness of a man's hand. |
Daniel 5:5
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over (e) against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
(e) That it might the better be seen. |
