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 Hosen is obsolete.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).
