AT: "the king pressed his signet ring into a wax seal, the nobles did this too. No one was allowed to break the seal and help Daniel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
# nothing might be changed concerning Daniel
"no one could help Daniel"
# he went through the night fasting

# No entertainment was brought before him
This can be stated in active form. AT: "He did not have anyone entertain him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
