Daniele 3:6

Listen to Daniele 3:6
6 e chiunque non si prostrerĂ  per adorare, sarĂ  immantinente gettato in mezzo ad una fornace di fuoco ardente".

Daniele 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.

Daniele 3:6 In-Context

4 E l’araldo gridò forte: "A voi, popoli, nazioni e lingue è imposto che,
5 nel momento in cui udrete il suono del corno, del flauto, della cetra, della lira, del saltèro, della zampogna e d’ogni sorta di strumenti, vi prostriate per adorare la statua d’oro che il re Nebucadnetsar ha eretta;
6 e chiunque non si prostrerĂ  per adorare, sarĂ  immantinente gettato in mezzo ad una fornace di fuoco ardente".
7 non appena quindi tutti i popoli ebbero udito il suono del corno, del flauto, della cetra, della lira, del saltèro e d’ogni sorta di strumenti, tutti i popoli, tutte le nazioni e lingue si prostrarono e adorarono la statua d’oro, che il re Nebucadnetsar aveva eretta.
8 Allora, in quello stesso momento, alcuni uomini Caldei si fecero avanti, e accusarono i Giudei;
The Riveduta Bible is in the public domain.
