_ _ their children — Among the Persians, all the kindred were involved in the guilt of one culprit. The Mosaic law expressly forbade this (Deuteronomy 24:16; 2 Kings 14:6).
_ _ or ever — that is, “before ever.” The lions’ sparing Daniel could not have been because they were full, as they showed the keenness of their hunger on the accusers. |
