Tekel
/TEE-kel/
Summary
Tekel was one of the words in the mysterious writing on the wall at Belshazzar's feast, meaning 'weighed' in the balance.
☩The Handwriting
During Belshazzar's feast, a hand appeared and wrote 'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN' on the wall. Daniel interpreted TEKEL as meaning 'You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.' That very night Belshazzar was slain and Babylon fell to the Medes and Persians.
