The term "satraps" refers to provincial governors in the ancient Persian Empire, a position of significant authority. "Prefects" and "governors" denote other administrative officials, while "royal advisers" were likely close counselors to the king. This gathering underscores the importance of the event and the miraculous nature of what they were about to witness. Historically, such officials would have been well-versed in the laws and customs of the empire, making their testimony of the miracle even more compelling.they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men The phrase "no effect" is crucial, as it indicates a complete divine protection over Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. In the Hebrew context, the miraculous deliverance from fire is a testament to God's sovereignty and power over creation. The "bodies of these men" being unharmed serves as a physical manifestation of God's protection and favor, reinforcing the theme of divine intervention found throughout the book of Daniel.not a hair of their heads was singed This phrase emphasizes the thoroughness of God's protection. In ancient times, hair was often seen as a symbol of strength and vitality. The fact that "not a hair" was singed highlights the completeness of the miracle. It echoes the biblical theme that God knows and cares for even the smallest details of our lives, as seen in passages like <a href="/matthew/10-30.htm">Matthew 10:30</a>, where it is said that even the hairs of our head are numbered.their robes were unaffected The "robes" represent not only the physical clothing but also the identity and status of the individuals. In the ancient Near East, clothing was a significant indicator of one's social and economic status. The preservation of their robes signifies that their identity and dignity remained intact despite the trial by fire. This can be seen as a metaphor for how God preserves the integrity and identity of His people even in the midst of persecution.and there was no smell of fire on them The absence of the "smell of fire" is a final testament to the miraculous nature of their deliverance. In a literal sense, it indicates that they were completely untouched by the flames. Symbolically, it suggests that the trials and tribulations faced by believers do not have to leave a lasting impact or residue on their lives. This phrase serves as an encouragement that God not only delivers His people from trials but also restores them completely, leaving no trace of the past hardships.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/daniel/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 27. - And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. The versions present no variation of importance. We can, however, at this point compare the list of officials with that which we find in the beginning of this chapter, in vers. 2 and 3. We find that the word haddabereen occupies the same place in the list as gedabreen, translated "treasurer," from which one might be inclined to think that ה had taken the place of ג, not an impossible change. The probability rather is that the word is to be regarded as collective, equivalent to "officials of the court," to save the repetition of the remaining classes Whether or not these officials had seen the companion the three witnesses for the truth had with them in the furnace, they, at all events, were now able to bear testimony to the fact that the three friends had escaped, and "had quenched the violence of the fire" (<a href="/hebrews/11-34.htm">Hebrews 11:34</a>). This event was all the more important to the Babylonians as to them fire was a god high in the pantheon. The God of Israel was thus manifested as so much greater than Iz-bar, that he could deliver his servants even when in the very element in which Iz-bar had his power. The fact that even their "coats" - whatever these garments were - were not burned, and not even a hair singed, while the cords that had been used to bind them were consumed, emphasizes their deliverance, and shows it to be the work of a higher power, who could discriminate and limit the deliverance. The cords were consumed, but the garments of his servants were preserved even from the smell of fire. The Babylonians had conquered the city of Jehovah, had burned his temple, and had done this through the power of Marduk, so they thought; but here Bel-Marduk had been openly defied by three worshippers of Jehovah. They had been hurled into the very element of Iz-bar, the servant and ally of Marduk, yet fire had been unable to harm them or vindicate the honour of Bel-Marduk. What emphasized this was that the fire that spared the servants of Jehovah slew the votaries of Bel-Marduk, who were eager to show their reverence for Marduk by carrying these Jehovah-worshippers to the furnace. Such a miracle, so wrought before all the high dignitaries of the Babylonian Empire, would go far to take the edge off any taunting reference to the weakness of Jehovah's Godhead as demonstrated by the ruins of Jerusalem. Jehovah had shown himself as the supreme Revealer of secrets when he enabled Daniel to tell Nebuchadnezzar his dream. He now manifested himself as Master of the most powerful of elements - fire. The Jews could thus maintain their faith unchallenged. <a href="/commentaries/daniel/3-27.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and when the satraps, אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּ֞א (’ă·ḥaš·dar·pə·nay·yā) Noun - masculine plural determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_324.htm">Strong's 324: </a> A satrap, governor, of a, main province prefects, סִגְנַיָּ֣א (siḡ·nay·yā) Noun - masculine plural determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5460.htm">Strong's 5460: </a> A prefect of a, province governors, וּפַחֲוָתָא֮ (ū·p̄a·ḥă·wā·ṯā) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6347.htm">Strong's 6347: </a> A governor and royal מַלְכָּא֒ (mal·kā) Noun - masculine singular determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4430.htm">Strong's 4430: </a> A king advisers וְהַדָּבְרֵ֣י (wə·had·dā·ḇə·rê) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1907.htm">Strong's 1907: </a> Counselor, minister had gathered around, וּ֠מִֽתְכַּנְּשִׁין (ū·miṯ·kan·nə·šîn) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hitpael - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3673.htm">Strong's 3673: </a> To assemble they saw חָזַ֣יִן (ḥā·za·yin) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2370.htm">Strong's 2370: </a> To gaze upon, mentally to dream, be usual that the fire נוּרָ֜א (nū·rā) Noun - common singulard <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5135.htm">Strong's 5135: </a> A fire had no לָֽא־ (lā-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3809.htm">Strong's 3809: </a> Not, no effect שְׁלֵ֨ט (šə·lêṭ) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7981.htm">Strong's 7981: </a> To dominate, govern, to permit on the bodies בְּגֶשְׁמְה֗וֹן (bə·ḡeš·mə·hō·wn) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1655.htm">Strong's 1655: </a> The body, a hard rain) of these אִלֵּ֡ךְ (’il·lêḵ) Pronoun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_479.htm">Strong's 479: </a> These men: לְגֻבְרַיָּ֣א (lə·ḡuḇ·ray·yā) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural determinate <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1400.htm">Strong's 1400: </a> A person Not לָ֣א (lā) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3809.htm">Strong's 3809: </a> Not, no a hair וּשְׂעַ֤ר (ū·śə·‘ar) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8177.htm">Strong's 8177: </a> Hair of their heads רֵֽאשְׁהוֹן֙ (rê·šə·hō·wn) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7217.htm">Strong's 7217: </a> The head, the sum was singed, הִתְחָרַ֔ךְ (hiṯ·ḥā·raḵ) Verb - Hitpael - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2761.htm">Strong's 2761: </a> To scorch their robes וְסָרְבָּלֵיה֖וֹן (wə·sā·rə·bā·lê·hō·wn) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5622.htm">Strong's 5622: </a> Probably a mantle were unaffected, לָ֣א (lā) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3809.htm">Strong's 3809: </a> Not, no and there was no לָ֥א (lā) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3809.htm">Strong's 3809: </a> Not, no smell וְרֵ֣יחַ (wə·rê·aḥ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7382.htm">Strong's 7382: </a> A smell of fire on them. נ֔וּר (nūr) Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5135.htm">Strong's 5135: </a> A fire <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/daniel/3-27.htm">Daniel 3:27 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/daniel/3-27.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 3:27 The satraps the deputies and the governors (Dan.
