    The Poal perfect form occurs in Daniel 3:27 within the observation that fire had no power over the men's bodies. In Daniel 3:27 the APB renders the relevant clause, “the hair of their heads was not singed,” presenting the form in a negated statement of fire's effect.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 3:27, the APB presents the clause as “the hair of their heads was not singed.” This rendering confirms the clause's fire-related context rather than isolating every contribution of the form.
