What was Daniel's Babylonian or Aramaic name?
Daniel's Babylonian or Aramaic name was Belteshazzar. His name was changed from the Hebrew to the Babylonian or Aramaic name, Belteshazzar. King Nebuchadnezzar addressed him by this name when asking if Daniel could make known the dream and its interpretation.
Les teaches that Daniel, though still a young man without gray hairs, spoke with counsel and wisdom to Ariok, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone forth to slay Babylon's wise men. Daniel asked why the decree was so hasty, and Ariok made the matter known to him. Daniel then went in and asked the king for time to show the interpretation. The secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision because the sovereign God was at work, not human happenstance. God revealed the forgotten dream to Daniel. When Daniel was brought before the king, the king answered and noted that Daniel's name had been changed from the Hebrew to the Babylonian or Aramaic name, Belteshazzar, and asked whether Daniel could make known the dream and its interpretation. Daniel answered in the king's presence that the wise men, astrologers, magicians, and soothsayers could not show the secret, but there is a God—the God Nebuchadnezzar knew nothing of. Les reminds his classes that beginning at the tower of Babel, the whole human race has been saturated with idolatry of one sort or another.
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
