Duwra> >, in the province <4083 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895
Babel >.

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430
melek > sent

<7972 sh@lach > to gather <3673 kanash > together the princes
<0324

3 Then <0116 >edayin > the princes <0324 > achashdarpan >, the
governors

<5461 cagan >, and captains <6347 pechah >, the judges <0148
>adargazer >,

the

sheriffs <8614 tiphtay >, and all <3606 kol > the rulers <7984
shiltown > of

the provinces <4082 m@diynah >, were gathered <3673 kanash >
together unto

the dedication <2597 chanukka> > of the image <6755 tselem > that

Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek >
had set <6966

quwm > up; and they stood <6966 quwm > before <6903 q@bel > the
image <6755

tselem > that Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > had set
<6966 quwm >

up.

4 Then an herald <3744 karowz > cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429
chayil >, To

you it is commanded <0560 >amar >, O people <5972 < am >, nations

the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > that
Nebuchadnezzar <5020

N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > hath set < 6966 quwm >
up:

6 And whoso falleth <5308 n@phal > not down and worshippeth
<5457 c@gid >

shall the same hour <8160 sha<ah > be cast <7412 r@mah > into
the midst <1459

gav > of a burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace

7 Therefore at that time <2166 z@man >, when <1768 diy > all
<3606 kol > the

people <5972 <am > heard <8086 sh@ma< > the sound <7032 qal > of
the cornet

<7162 qeren >, flute <4953 mashrowqiy >, harp < 7030 qiytharoc >,
sackbut

the nations <0524 >ummah >, and the languages <3961 lishshan >,
fell <5308

n@phal > down [and] worshipped <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722
d@hab > image

<6755 tselem > that Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the
king <4430

melek > had set <6966 quwm > up.

8. Wherefore at that time <2166 z@man > certain <1400 g@bar >
Chaldeans

<3779 Kasday > came <7127 q@reb > near <7127 q@reb >, and
accused <7170

q@rats > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy >.

9 They spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to the king
<4430 melek >

Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >, O king <4430 melek >,
live <2418

chaya> > for ever <5957 <alam >.

10 Thou, O king <4430 melek >, hast made <7761 suwm > a decree
<2942 t@<em

the sound <7032 qal > of the cornet <7162 qeren >, flute <4953

of musick <2170 z@mar >, shall fall <5308 n@phal > down and
worship <5457

c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem >:

11 And whoso falleth <5308 n@phal > not down and worshippeth
<5457 c@gid >,

[that] he should be cast <7412 r@mah > into the midst < 1459 gav

burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace < 0861 >attuwn >.

12 There are certain <1400 g@bar > Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > whom
<3487 yath >

thou hast set <4483 m@na> > over <5921 <al > the affairs <5673
<abiydah > of

the province <4083 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895 Babel > , Shadrach
<7715

Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego < 5665 <Abed
N@gow> >; these

<0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar >, O king <4430 melek >, have not
regarded

thee: they serve <6399 p@lach > not thy gods <0426 > elahh >, nor
<3809 la> >

worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755
tselem > which

<1768 diy > thou hast set <6966 quwm > up.

13 Then <0116 >edayin > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >
in [his]

rage <7266 r@gaz > and fury <2528 chema> > commanded <0560 >amar

<0858 >athah > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >,
and

Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> >. Then <0116 > edayin > they brought
<0858 >athah

the king <4430

melek >.

14 Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > spake <6032 <anah >
and said

<0560 >amar > unto them, [Is it] true <6656 ts@da> >, O Shadrach
<7715

Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego < 5665 <Abed
N@gow> >, do not

ye serve <6399 p@lach > my gods <0426 >elahh >, nor <3809 la> >
worship <5457

c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > which
<1768 diy > I

have set <6966 quwm > up?

15 Now <3705 k@<an > if <2006 hen > ye be ready <6263 <athiyd >
that at what

<1768 diy > time <5732 <iddan > ye hear <8086 sh@ma< > the sound
<7032 qal >

of the cornet <7162 qeren >, flute <4953 mashrowqiy >, harp
<7030 qiytharoc

dulcimer <5481

cuwmpown@yah >, and all <3606 kol > kinds <2177 zan > of musick
<2170 z@mar

image <6755

tselem > which <1768 diy > I have made <5648 <abad >; [well]:
but if <2006

hen > ye worship <5457 c@gid > not, ye shall be cast < 7412 r@mah

hour <8160 sha<ah > into the midst <1459 gav > of a burning
<3345 y@qad >

fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn >; and who <4479 man >
[is] that God

<0426 >elahh > that shall deliver <7804 sh@zab > you out of my
hands <3028

yad >?

16 Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and
Abednego <5665

<Abed N@gow> >, answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to
the king

<4430 melek >, O Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >, we
[are] not

careful <2818 chashach > to answer <8421 tuwb > thee in this
<1836 den >

matter <6600 pithgam >.

17 If <2006 hen > it be [so], our God <0426 >elahh > whom <1768
diy > we

serve <6399 p@lach > is able <3202 y@kel > to deliver <7804
sh@zab > us from

the burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861
>attuwn >, and he

will deliver <7804 sh@zab > [us] out of thine hand <3028 yad >,
O king <4430

melek >.

18 But if not, be it known <3046 y@da< > unto thee, O king
<4430 melek >,

that we will not serve <6399 p@lach > thy gods <0426 > elahh >,
nor <3809 la>

> worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755
tselem > which

<1768 diy > thou hast set <6966 quwm > up.

19. Then <0116 >edayin > was Nebuchadnezzar <5020
N@buwkadnetstsar > full

<4391 m@la> > of fury <2528 chema> >, and the form <6755 tselem
> of his

visage <0600 >anaph > was changed <8133 sh@na> > against <5922
<al > Shadrach

<7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego <5665
<Abed N@gow> >:

[therefore] he spake <6032 <anah >, and commanded < 0560 >amar >
that they

should heat <0228 >aza> > the furnace <0861 > attuwn > one <2298
chad > seven

<7655 shib<ah > times more <5922 <al > than < 1768 diy > it was
wont <2370

chaza> > to be heated <0228 >aza> >.

20 And he commanded <0560 >amar > the most <2429 chayil >
mighty <1401

gibbar > men <1400 g@bar > that [were] in his army < 2429 chayil
> to bind

<3729 k@phath > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach < 4336 Meyshak
>, and

Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> >, [and] to cast <7412 r@mah >
[them] into the

burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace < 0861 >attuwn >.

21 Then <0116 >edayin > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar >
were bound

<3729 k@phath > in their coats <5622 carbal >, their hosen <6361
pattiysh >,

and their hats <3737 karb@la< >, and their [other] garments
<3831 l@buwsh >,

and were cast <7412 r@mah > into the midst <1459 gav > of the
burning <3345

y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn >.

22 Therefore because the king's <4430 melek > commandment <4406
millah > was

urgent <2685 chatsaph >, and the furnace <0861 > attuwn >
exceeding <2493

chelem > hot <0228 >aza> >, the flame <7631 s@biyb > of the fire
<5135 nuwr >

slew <6992 q@tal > those <0479 >illek > men < 1400 g@bar > that
took <5267

n@caq > up Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >,
and Abednego

<5665 <Abed N@gow> >.

23 And these <0479 >illek > three <8532 t@lath > men <1400
g@bar >, Shadrach

<7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego <5665
<Abed N@gow> >,

fell <5308 n@phal > down bound <3729 k@phath > into the midst
<1459 gav > of

the burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861
>attuwn >.

24 Then <0116 >edayin > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >
the king

<4430 melek > was astonied <8429 t@vahh >, and rose <6965 quwm >
up in haste

<0927 b@hal >, [and] spake <6032 <anah >, and said <0560 >amar >
unto his

counsellors <1907 haddabar >, Did not we cast <7412 r@mah >
three <8532

t@lath > men <1400 g@bar > bound <3729 k@phath > into the midst
<1459 gav >

of the fire <5135 nuwr >? They answered <6032 <anah > and said
<0560 >amar >

unto the king <4430 melek >, True <3330 yatstsiyb >, O king
<4430 melek >.

25 He answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar >, Lo <1888
he> >, I see

<2370 chaza> > four <0703 >arba< > men < 1400 g@bar > loose <8271
sh@re> >,

walking <1981 halak > in the midst <1459 gav > of the fire <5135
nuwr >, and

they have <0383 >iythay > no <3809 la> > hurt <2257 chabal >;
and the form

<7299 rev > of the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > is like <1821 d@mah >
the Son

<1247 bar > of God <0426 >elahh >.

26 Then <0116 >edayin > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >
came <7127

q@reb > near <7127 q@reb > to the mouth <8651 t@ra< > of the
burning <3345

y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn >, [and] spake
<6032 <anah

>, and said <0560 >amar >, Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach
<4336 Meyshak >,

and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> >, ye servants < 5649 <abad > of
the most

<5943 <illay > high <5943 <illay > God <0426 >elahh >, come
<5312 n@phaq >

forth <5312 n@phaq >, and come <0858 >athah > [hither]. Then
<0116 >edayin >

Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego
<5665 <Abed

N@gow> >, came <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > of the midst
<1459 gav >

of the fire <5135 nuwr >.

27 And the princes <0324 >achashdarpan >, governors < 5461 cagan
>, and

captains <6347 pechah >, and the king's <4430 melek >
counsellors <1907

haddabar >, being gathered <3673 kanash > together, saw <2370
chaza> > these

<0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar >, upon whose < 1768 diy > bodies
<1655 geshem

> the fire <5135 nuwr > had no <3809 la> > power <7981 sh@let >,
nor <3809

la> > was an hair <8177 s@<ar > of their head < 7217 re>sh >
singed <2761

charak >, neither <3809 la> > were their coats < 5622 carbal >
changed <8133

sh@na> >, nor <3809 la> > the smell <7382 reyach > of fire <5135
nuwr > had

passed <5709 <ada> > on them.

28. [Then] Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > spake <6032
<anah >, and

said <0560 >amar >, Blessed <1289 b@rak > [be] the God <0426
>elahh > of

Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego
<5665 <Abed

N@gow> >, who <1768 diy > hath sent <7972 sh@lach > his angel
<4398 mal>ak >,

and delivered <7804 sh@zab > his servants <5649 <abad > that
trusted <7365

r@chats > in him, and have changed <8133 sh@na> > the king's
<4430 melek >

word <4406 millah >, and yielded <3052 y@hab > their bodies
<1655 geshem >,

that they might not serve <6399 p@lach > nor <3809 la> > worship
<5457 c@gid

> any <3606 kol > god <0426 >elahh >, except <3861 lawhen >
their own God

<0426 >elahh >.

29 Therefore I make <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@< em >, That
every <3606

kol > people <5972 <am >, nation <0524 >ummah >, and language
<3961 lishshan

shalah >

against <5922 <al > the God <0426 >elahh > of Shadrach <7715
Shadrak >,

Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> >,
shall be cut

<5648 <abad > in pieces <1917 haddam >, and their houses <1005
bayith > shall

be made <7739 sh@vah > a dunghill <5122 n@valuw >: because there
is no <3809

y@kel >

deliver <5338 n@tsal > after <1863 dardar > this < 1836 den >
sort.

30 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > promoted <6744
ts@lach >

Shadrach <7715 Shadrak >, Meshach <4336 Meyshak >, and Abednego
<5665 <Abed

N@gow> >, in the province <4082 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895
Babel >.
