Daniel 6:3 in Context — Daniel 6
1 Pareceu bem a Dario constituir sobre o reino cento vinte governadores que estivessem em todo o reino.
2 E sobre eles três supervisores, dos quais Daniel era um, a quem estes governadores deviam prestar contas, para que o rei não sofresse dano.
3 Então o mesmo Daniel era superior a estes governadores e supervisores, porque nele havia um espírito extraordinário; por isso o rei pensava em constituí-lo sobre todo o reino.
4 Então os supervisores e governadores procuravam achar alguma acusação contra Daniel a respeito do reino; mas não conseguiram achar acusação ou falta alguma, porque ele era fiel, e nenhum erro nem falta foi achada nele.
5 Então esses homens disseram: Não acharemos acusação alguma contra este Daniel, a não ser se a acharmos contra ele na lei de seu Deus.
