| Daniel 1:7 | And the master of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltassar: to Ananias, Sidrach: to Misael, Misach: and to Azarias, Abdenago. | Baltassar, or as Chaldeans (Calmet) or Masorets (Haydock) pronounce, Beltesasar, "the treasurer of Baal." The names were changed to testify their subjection, (Calmet) and that they might embrace the manners of the Chaldeans. (Menochius) --- The new names alluded to the sun. (Calmet) |
