'Document' in the Bible
So the men left, went through the land, and described it by towns in a document of seven sections. They returned to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.
In view of all this, we are making a binding agreement in writing on a sealed document containing the names of our leaders, Levites, and priests.
Those whose seals were on the document were:Nehemiah the governor, son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah,
You may write in the king’s name whatever pleases you concerning the Jews, and seal it with the royal signet ring. A document written in the king’s name and sealed with the royal signet ring cannot be revoked.”
A copy of the text, issued as law throughout every province, was distributed to all the peoples so the Jews could be ready to avenge themselves against their enemies on that day.
For you the entire vision will be like the words of a sealed document. If it is given to one who can read and he is asked to read it, he will say, “I can’t read it, because it is sealed.”
And if the document is given to one who cannot read and he is asked to read it, he will say, “I can’t read.”
On that day the deaf will hearthe words of a document,and out of a deep darknessthe eyes of the blind will see.
Therefore, Your Majesty, establish the edict and sign the document so that, as a law of the Medes and Persians, it is irrevocable and cannot be changed.”
When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house. The windows in its upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
