Verse 28 is found in chapter 5 of Daniel. The words Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin constitute a condensed sentence against the kingdom. The language of numbering, weighing, and dividing turns Babylon’s fall into a moral evaluation, not merely a military event. God has numbered the kingdom’s days, weighed it, and determined its division. The image of weighing reveals that imperial authority is subject to a measure the king does not control.
