Daniel Chapter 3 Vs. 21


The Fiery Furnace

Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:21

in their coats... Cloaks or mantles.
their hosen... Aramaic: pattiysh, fine outer garment. Hosen is obsolete.
and their hats... The turban. The only place where the word is used in Scripture. Herodotus (who lived 100 years after Daniel) said that the dress of the Babylonians consisted of a tunic of linen reaching down to the feet over which was a woolen tunic and over all a white short cloak or mantle. On their heads they wore turbans. One translation reads, "in their cloaks, their turbans, and their upper (woolen) tunics, and their under (linen) tunics." All this should have caught fire quickly but instead there was not even the smell of smoke on them when they came out (Dan. 3:27).
