Helem. Septuagint, "the crown shall be for those who expect him. "(Haydock)
Hem. Septuagint, "for grace. "Hebrew chen. (St. Jerome)
Thus proper names are frequently interpreted. (Haydock)
The crowns were not to be worn, but to be deposited in the temple, 1 Machabees i. 23. (Calmet)
The names of those four who had contributed towards their making, were to be inscribed upon them. Helem and Hem are the same with Holdai and Josias. (Menochius)
The Jews say Hem or Daniel, and his three companions, brought gifts. (St. Jerome)
