Daniel 2:21 מְהַעְדֵּ֥ה [he is] removing

He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Here: Causative of "pass on, pass away": God "makes kings pass away," removes them from the scene. Ironically, later in Daniel the same root describes the Persian law that "does not pass away" (6:8, 12) and God's own kingdom that "will not pass away" (7:14).

Daniel 3:27 עֲדָ֖ת it had touched

and when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.

Here: "Had not passed onto them": the smell did not cross over to them. Daniel uses this verb for kingdoms passing away and laws that "do not pass away". Here it is used in an everyday sense.

Daniel 4:31 עֲדָ֥ת it has passed away

While the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven: “It is decreed to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, that the kingdom has departed from you.

Here: A completed-action form: 'has passed away'. The sentence is announced as already done before it is carried out in verse 33. This root is Daniel's key verb for kingdoms that pass away, set against God's kingdom, which does not (7:14).

Daniel 5:20 הֶעְדִּ֥יוּ they removed

But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit was hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken from him.

Here: 'They made [it] pass away, they removed'. 'They' names no one in particular and works like 'was taken away', with heaven understood as the agent. This is the verb Daniel uses for God removing kings (2:21) and for beasts having their dominion taken away (7:12).

Daniel 6:8 תֶעְדֵּֽא׃ it will pass away

Therefore, O king, establish the decree and sign the document so that it cannot be changed—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”

Here: 'Does not pass away', meaning it never lapses or becomes void. The subject is 'the law', which is grammatically feminine, so the form is best read as 'it [the law] does not pass away'. The same verb is used in 7:14 of the everlasting kingdom given to the 'one like a son of man', 'which shall not pass away'.

Daniel 6:12 תֶעְדֵּֽא׃ it will pass away

So they approached the king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.”

Daniel 7:12 הֶעְדִּ֖יו they removed

As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.

Daniel 7:14 יֶעְדֵּ֔ה it will pass away

And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Here: 'Will pass away / be removed'. It echoes 7:12, where the beasts' rule was 'made to pass away' using the same root. Theirs was removed. His will not be.

Daniel 7:26 יְהַעְדּ֔וֹן they will remove

But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.

Here: "They will make [it] pass away": a causative form with an unnamed "they." Aramaic often uses this to mean "it will be taken away," with the heavenly court as the implied actor. The verb echoes 7:12 (the beasts' dominion removed) and contrasts with 7:14 (the son of man's dominion "will not pass away").
