Instrument in the worship-command signal · dominant
In Daniel 3:5, Daniel 3:10, and Daniel 3:15, the singular absolute noun stands in a sequence of instruments heard at the time people are commanded to fall down and worship the image. The APB renders the surrounding instrument list with “the pipes,” but it is a whole-verse translation to the individual term.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 3:5, Daniel 3:10, and Daniel 3:15, the APB presents the term within a list of instruments as “the pipes.” That English wording cannot by itself isolate the term's precise contribution.
