ME'NE, ME'NE, TE'KEL, UPHAR'SIN. This sentence, which appeared on the wall of Belshazzar's banqueting-hall to warn him of the impending

destruction of Babylon, is in the pure Chaldee language, and reads, when translated literally, Mene,"he is numbered;" Mene, "he is numbered;" Tekel, "he is weighed;" Upharsin, "they are divided." "Peres," in the original language, is the same word with "Upharsin," but in a different case or number. It means. "he was divided." Dan 5:25.
