ha.lakh describes walking or going, clearly portraying men moving within the fire in Daniel.

The attested usage most clearly depicts physical movement: in Daniel 3:25, the plural participle occurs of four men moving in the midst of the fire. The supplied translation does not isolate the term’s contribution in Daniel 4:26 or Daniel 4:34, so those occurrences support the same broad usage only with limited precision.

Senses in use

  1. Walking or moving in a setting · dominant

    In Daniel 3:25, the masculine plural participle is used of the four men in the midst of the fire; the APB renders the scene as “four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire.” The same lemma also occurs as an active masculine singular participle in Daniel 4:26, in the verse concerning an enduring kingdom, and as a masculine plural participle in Daniel 4:34, in Nebuchadnezzar’s praise of the living eternal; the APB does not visibly isolate its contribution in either verse.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders the term’s contribution as “walking” in Daniel 3:25. In Daniel 4:26 and Daniel 4:34, the translation supplies the verse’s overall statement without an identifiable English counterpart for this term.
