“And this is the writing that was written,.... They are such and such letters, and so to be read, as follows: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN; which are Chaldee words, and may be literally rendered, ‘he hath numbered, he hath numbered’; that is, God hath certainly, perfectly, and exactly numbered; ‘he hath weighed’, God hath weighed thee, Belshazzar; ‘and they divide the kingdom’; that is, the Medes and Persians, as appears from the following interpretation:”

'PHARES' means that thy kingdom has been removed and given to the Medes and Persians.’”
