te.ra denotes an entrance or gateway, including the king's court setting and the opening of a fiery furnace.

The attested use points to an entrance or access point: Daniel remains at the king's court in Daniel 2:49, while Nebuchadnezzar approaches the furnace opening in Daniel 3:26.

1. Entrance or gateway · dominant

   Both occurrences are common masculine singular construct nouns. In Daniel 2:49 the APB renders Daniel as remaining “at the king's court,” while in Daniel 3:26 it renders Nebuchadnezzar as approaching “the door of the burning fiery furnace”; the supplied verses thus show an access point associated with a court or furnace.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through “the king's court” in Daniel 2:49 and explicitly as “the door” of the furnace in Daniel 3:26. The court wording does not isolate the term's precise English equivalent.
