Nebuchadnezzar the king sets up an image of gold, and the herald cries aloud the command to fall down and worship it

느부갓네살왕이 금 신상을 세우고 절하라고 명함

Daniel 3:1–7: Nebuchadnezzar the king makes an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits, and sets it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sends to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they are gathered together and stand before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then the herald cries aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages, that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.” The text says, “Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.” At 3:4 the Korean Revised Version has the herald say 왕이 너희 무리에게 명하시나니, naming the king as the one who commands, and at 3:7 it does not have 생황, which it gives at 3:5 where WEB reads “pipe”.
