Daniel 3:20-21

3:20 He ordered strong ¹  soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire. 3:21 So those men were tied up while still wearing their cloaks, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, ²  and were thrown into the furnace ³  of blazing fire.

[3:20]  ¹ tn This is sometimes taken as a comparative: “[some of the] strongest.”

[3:21]  ² sn There is a great deal of uncertainty with regard to the specific nature of these items of clothing.

[3:21]  ³ tn Aram “into the midst of the furnace.” For stylistic reasons the words “the midst of” have been left untranslated.
