Mene
First word of the writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast, and Daniel reads it as numbered.
First, in plain English
First word of the writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast, and Daniel reads it as numbered.
Who this is
Mene was not a person but the first word of the mysterious writing that appeared on the wall during Belshazzar's feast in Babylon, which Daniel alone could read and interpret (Daniel 5:25-28). Repeated as "Mene, Mene," it meant "numbered," and Daniel explained it as God's declaration that Belshazzar's kingdom had been measured out and brought to an end; Babylon fell that same night.
