H9010–א/–a

Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you will not be servants of my god or give worship to the image of gold which I have put up?

דַּהֲבָ֛א (א) ' “gold”

Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same h

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answering Nebuchadnezzar the king, said, There is no need for us to give you an answer to this question.

לְמַלְכָּ֑א (א) ' “the”

If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe.

נוּרָ֧א (א) ' “the”יָקִֽדְתָּ֛א (א) ' “burning”מַלְכָּ֖א (א) ' “O”

But if not, be certain, O King, that we will not be the servants of your gods, or give worship to the image of gold which you have put up.

מַלְכָּ֑א (א) ' “O”דַּהֲבָ֛א (א) ' “gold”

Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.

לְאַתּוּנָ֔א (א) ' “the”

And he gave orders to certain strong men in his army to put cords on Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and put them into the burning and flaming fire.

נוּרָ֖א (א) ' “the”יָקִֽדְתָּֽא׃ (א) ' “burning”

Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire.

גֻּבְרַיָּ֣א (א) ' “the”נוּרָ֖א (א) ' “the”יָקִֽדְתָּֽא׃ (א) ' “burning”

And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.

מַלְכָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”וְאַתּוּנָ֖א (א) ' “the”גֻּבְרַיָּ֣א (א) ' “the”שְׁבִיבָ֖א (א) ' “the”נוּרָֽא׃ (א) ' “the”

And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, with the cords about them, went down into the burning and flaming fire.

וְגֻבְרַיָּ֤א (א) ' “the”נוּרָ֥א (א) ' “the”יָֽקִדְתָּ֖א (א) ' “burning”

Then King Nebuchadnezzar, full of fear and wonder, got up quickly, and said to his wise men, Did we not put three men in cords into the fire? and they made answer and said to the king, True, O King.

מַלְכָּ֔א (א) ' “the”נוּרָא֙ (א֙) ' “the”לְמַלְכָּ֔א (א) ' “the”מַלְכָּֽא׃ (א) ' “O”

He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

נוּרָ֔א (א) ' “the”רְֽבִיעָאָ֔ה (אָ֔ה) ' “the”

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire.

And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fir

Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that t

מַלְכָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”

Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego even greater authority in the land of Babylon.

מַלְכָּ֗א (א) ' “the”

Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.

It has seemed good to me to make clear the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done with me.

אָֽתַיָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”וְתִמְהַיָּ֔א (א) ' “the”אֱלָהָ֖א (א) ' “God”עִלָּאָ֑ה (ה) ' “the”

And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.

חֶלְמָ֖א (א) ' “the”

Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.

חַרְטֻמַיָּא֙ (א֙) ' “the”אָֽשְׁפַיָּ֔א (א) ' “the”וְגָזְרַיָּ֑א (א) ' “the”וְחֶלְמָ֗א (א) ' “the”

But at last Daniel came in before me, he whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I put the dream before him, saying,

וְחֶלְמָ֖א (א) ' “the”

O Belteshazzar, master of the wonder-workers, because I am certain that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and you are troubled by no secret; this is the dream which I saw: make clear to me its sense.

חַרְטֻמַיָּא֒ (א֒) ' “the”

On my bed I saw a vision: there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and it was very high.

אַרְעָ֖א (א) ' “the”

And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:

אִֽילָנָ֖א (א) ' “the”לִשְׁמַיָּ֔א (א) ' “the”אַרְעָֽא׃ (א) ' “the”

Its leaves were fair and it had much fruit, and in it was food enough for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the birds of heaven were resting in its branches, and it gave food to all living things.
