In Daniel 3:5 and Daniel 3:10, the singular absolute noun stands in the list heard before people are commanded to fall down and worship the golden image. Daniel 3:7 shows the same listed sound preceding the peoples' act of falling down, while Daniel 3:15 repeats it in the king's conditional demand.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 3:10, Daniel 3:15, Daniel 3:5, and Daniel 3:7, the APB presents the term as “the psaltery” within a list of instruments. This rendering confirms the verse-level instrument list rather than isolating every feature of the Aramaic term.
