Senses in use

  1. Instrument in the ceremonial music list · dominant

    In Daniel 3:5 and Daniel 3:10, the determined feminine singular form stands within the sequence of instruments heard before people are commanded to fall down and worship the golden image. Daniel 3:7 reports the peoples hearing that musical sequence and falling down, while Daniel 3:15 repeats it as the condition set before worship or refusal; in each verse the APB renders the list with "the flute."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 3:5, Daniel 3:7, Daniel 3:10, and Daniel 3:15, the APB presents the term in an instrument list as "the flute." This reflects the verse-level presentation rather than a precise alignment claim.
