Daniel 3:21 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:21

Then these men were bound in their coats
Their upper coats, cloaks, or mantles, as Aben Ezra and Jacchiades; though, according to the use of the word in the Arabic language, the "femoralia" F18 or breeches are meant: their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments:
their turbants on their heads, which were usually wore in those countries; and their stockings and shoes, and other under garments, as waistcoats and shirts; which through haste or negligence, or with design, were kept on them, to make their torment the greater; but were intended by the Lord to make the miracle the more conspicuous. According to Cocceius F19 and Bynaeus F20, the first of these words signifies the outward covering of the body, as cloaks; the second the covering of the feet, as socks, shoes, and sandals; and the third the covering of the head, as caps, turbants, helmets; the last the inner garments that were under the upper ones: and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace;
in the manner and circumstances before related.

Daniel 3:21 In-Context

19 Da wurde Nebukadnezar voll Grimmes, und das Aussehen seines Antlitzes veränderte sich gegen Sadrach, Mesach und Abednego. Er hob an und befahl, den Ofen siebenmal mehr zu heizen, als zur Heizung hinreichend war.
20 Und er befahl Männern, den stärksten Männern in seinem Heere, Sadrach, Mesach und Abednego zu binden, um sie in den brennenden Feuerofen zu werfen.
21 Da wurden diese Männer in ihren Leibröcken, Oberröcken und Mänteln und ihren sonstigen Kleidern gebunden und in den brennenden Feuerofen geworfen.
22 Darum, weil das Wort des Königs streng, und der Ofen außergewöhnlich geheizt war, tötete die Flamme des Feuers jene Männer, welche Sadrach, Mesach und Abednego hinaufbrachten.
23 Und diese drei Männer, Sadrach, Mesach und Abednego, fielen gebunden in den brennenden Feuerofen.
