Daniel 3:6

Listen to Daniel 3:6
6 pero el que no se postre y adore, será echado inmediatamente en un horno de fuego ardiente.

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 Y el heraldo proclamó con fuerza: Se os ordena a vosotros, pueblos, naciones y lenguas,
5 que en el momento en que oigáis el sonido del cuerno, la flauta, la lira, el arpa, el salterio, la gaita y toda clase de música, os postréis y adoréis la estatua de oro que el rey Nabucodonosor ha levantado;
6 pero el que no se postre y adore, será echado inmediatamente en un horno de fuego ardiente.
7 Por tanto, en el momento en que todos los pueblos oyeron el sonido del cuerno, la flauta, la lira, el arpa, el salterio, la gaita y toda clase de música, todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas se postraron y adoraron la estatua de oro que el rey Nabucodonosor había levantado.
8 Sin embargo en aquel tiempo algunos caldeos se presentaron y acusaron a los judíos.
