Daniel 3:21-22

3:21 So those men were tied up while still wearing their cloaks, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, ¹  and were thrown into the furnace ²  of blazing fire. 3:22 But since the king’s command was so urgent, and the furnace was so excessively hot, the men who escorted ³  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were killed ⁴  by the leaping flames. ⁵ 

[3:21]  ¹ sn There is a great deal of uncertainty with regard to the specific nature of these items of clothing.

[3:21]  ² tn Aram “into the midst of the furnace.” For stylistic reasons the words “the midst of” have been left untranslated.

[3:22]  ³ tn Aram “caused to go up.”

[3:22]  ⁴ tn The Aramaic verb is active.

[3:22]  ⁵ tn Aram “the flame of the fire” (so KJV, ASV, NASB); NRSV “the raging flames.”
