“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.”
Daniel 5:25 (KJV)
Commentary on Daniel 5:25
Daniel reads the mysterious writing: 'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.' These Aramaic words are monetary/weight units: MENE (mina, numbered), TEKEL (shekel, weighed), UPHARSIN (and half-shekels/divided). The wordplay is brilliant—common commercial terms carrying ominous double meaning. The repetition of MENE emphasizes certainty and completion. Written without vowels (as in ancient script), these words would appear cryptic yet recognizable, creating the terror that gripped observers. The genius of God's message—using everyday words transformed into prophetic declaration of judgment.
