This event is notable for the test of faith faced by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to bow to the image. The name "Dura" itself suggests a location that was fortified or enclosed, which aligns with the Babylonian practice of constructing large, walled cities and ceremonial sites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/1753.htm">dur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place near Bab.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Dura (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">דּוּרָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>near Babylonia</b></font>, only <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בִּקְעַת ד</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-1.htm">Daniel 3:1</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font>. <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">τοῦ περιβόλου</font> (Syro-Hex. <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">περίβολον</font>), <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Θ Δεειρα</font>; <em>Dûru</em> is name of several places in Babylonia Dl<sup>Par. 216</sup>; Baer<sup>Dn. p. x</sup>, compare Andr<sup>M 58</sup>*; Hoffm<sup>Pers.
