se.viv denotes visible fire in a lethal furnace flame and in the fiery throne scene.

The two occurrences present se.viv as visible fire: the furnace flame that kills the men carrying Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and the flames associated with the throne in Daniel's vision.

Senses in use

  1. Visible fire in furnace and throne imagery · dominant

    In Daniel 3:22, the singular determined noun occurs in the clause where the furnace's fire kills the men who carried Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; the APB renders the clause with “the flame of the fire.” In Daniel 7:9, the plural absolute form occurs in the description of the throne, which the APB renders as “flames of fire.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term within “the flame of the fire” in Daniel 3:22 and “flames of fire” in Daniel 7:9. These phrases confirm the fiery settings without fixing a separate English equivalent for each form.
