What is the meaning of "Kol Kabel Denah"?
Rashi: The reaction to this answer.
What is "b'Nas"?
Rashi: It is angry 1 . The Targum of "v'Hinam Zo'afim" is v'Ha Inun Nesisin.
Malbim: He was ill-tempered about the dream, and angry at the Chachamim.
Rashi: Menachem said, with difficulty, that Benas is a verb; the Beis is from the root. If it was a noun, it would say Amar, without the prefix Vov! Dunash said that it is a noun; the Vov is extra, like "v'Rechev va'Sus." I say that it is not extra. It is as if it says va'Amar b'Za'afo, just b'Za'afo is omitted.
What is "Lehovadah"?
Rashi: It is to destroy.
Who are Chachimei Bavel?
Ibn Ezra: It is those mentioned above.
Malbim: It includes all who engaged in interpreting dreams and knowing hidden matters, and also other Chochmos, , e.g. natural science, geometry, politics? The latter do not engage in dreams and visions, and they were not called to the king, for it is not their trade. Therefore also Daniel, Chananyah, Misha'el and Azaryah were not called, even though they were Chachamim. Daniel understood all dreams and visions, but the king did not know this. It was not proper to kill the other Chachamim; due to his great anger, he erred and did not distinguish.
