Daniel 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:6

And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth
Who refuses to worship it, or wilfully neglects it; which would be interpreted a contempt of it, and of the king's command: shall in the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery
furnace;
such as were used to burn stones in for lime, as Jarchi observes: the music was to draw, the furnace was to drive, men to this idolatrous worship; the one was to please and sooth the minds of men, and so allure them to such stupid service; the other to frighten them into obedience. This is the first time that mention is made of "hours" in the sacred Scriptures; it was very probably the invention of the Chaldeans or Babylonians; for Herodotus F13 says the Greeks received the twelve parts of the day from the Babylonians.

Daniel 3:6 In-Context

4 E o pregoeiro clamou em alta voz: Ordena-se a vós, ó povos, nações e gentes de todas as línguas:
5 Logo que ouvirdes o som da trombeta, da flauta, da harpa, da cítara, do saltério, da gaita de foles, e de toda a sorte de música, prostrar-vos-eis, e adorareis a imagem de ouro que o rei Nabucodonozor tem levantado.
6 E qualquer que não se prostrar e não a adorar, será na mesma hora lançado dentro duma fornalha de fogo ardente.
7 Portanto, no mesmo instante em que todos os povos ouviram o som da trombeta, da flauta, da harpa, da cítara, do saltério, e de toda a sorte de música, se prostraram todos os povos, nações e línguas, e adoraram a estátua de ouro que o rei Nabucodonozor tinha levantado.
8 Ora, nesse tempo se chegaram alguns homens caldeus, e acusaram os judeus.
