Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 5:26

26 This is the interpretation of the thing; MENE , God hath numbred thy kingdom, and finished it.

MENE, MENE, he hath numbred, or it is numbred, it is numbred, these words are doubled for the greater confirmation, to note that the number of his sins, and of his dayes both of Life and reign are full. It relates to the number of the 70 years Captivity now compleated, or to the 70 years for the overthrow of the Babyloni[illegible: 1 letter]h Empire, or the Translation of it to the Medes and Persi[illegible: 2 letters]s, foretold, Isaiah 13. and 14. Ier. 50. and in the dream, Dan. 2.32.
