Daniel 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:10

Thou, O king, hast made a decree
According to his own mind and will, and which he had published as such to his subjects: that every man;
let him be who he will, high or low, rich or poor, in whatsoever station or condition: that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music;
such as had been just then blown or played on: shall fall down and worship the golden image;
which the king had ordered to be made and set up, and now dedicated, and had been worshipped by men of all ranks.

Daniel 3:10 In-Context

8 It was then that some Babylonians took the opportunity to denounce the Jews.
9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, "May Your Majesty live forever!
10 Your Majesty has issued an order that as soon as the music starts, everyone is to bow down and worship the gold statue,
11 and that anyone who does not bow down and worship it is to be thrown into a blazing furnace.
12 There are some Jews whom you put in charge of the province of Babylon - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - who are disobeying Your Majesty's orders. They do not worship your god or bow down to the statue you set up."
