Ketika Daniel mengetahui bahwa surat itu telah ditandatangani, ia masuk ke rumahnya. Di kamar atasnya ada jendela-jendela yang terbuka ke arah Yerusalem, dan tiga kali sehari ia berlutut, berdoa, dan bersyukur di hadapan Allahnya, sama seperti yang biasa dilakukannya sebelumnya.
Sha'arei Orah
Even about the land of Israel it is written,361Isaiah 59:2 “Your iniquities have separated between you and your God.” This was said about the land of Israel and certainly applies outside of the land. This being so, what will be with all the prayers of the Jewish people who are outside the land? Know that the prayers offered outside the land have no way to ascend before HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, except when the Jewish people send them from outside of the land and direct them to Jerusalem. When they arrive in Jerusalem, they then are elevated and ascend above. This is the meaning Daniel’s prayer in the exile, in that,362Daniel 6:11 “He had windows open in his upper story, facing Jerusalem, and three times a day he fell to his knees and prayed and gave thanks before his God.”
