Daniel 3:12

German (Die Heilige Schrift (Schlachter 1951))

Nun sind da jüdische Männer, welche du mit der Verwaltung der Landschaft Babel betraut hast, Sadrach, Mesach und Abednego. Die achten nicht auf dein königliches Gebot, dienen deinen Göttern nicht und beten das goldene Bild nicht an, das du aufgerichtet hast!

Was bedeutet das?

This verse is from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who refused to worship a golden statue. A person is telling the king that these Jews, who the king appointed to important roles, disobey his command by not serving his gods or the golden image.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you're playing a game where everyone has to bow to a toy, but your friends refuse. Your friend's dad is upset because he told everyone to play by his rules, but they didn't listen. That's what's happening here, but with grown-ups and a big golden statue.

Historischer Hintergrund

Daniel was written during the Babylonian exile of the Jews. The book tells the story of Daniel and his friends who remained faithful to their God, even in a foreign land where they faced great danger for not obeying the king's orders.

Anwendung für heute

In a modern context, imagine you're at work and your boss asks you to do something unethical. You refuse because it goes against your principles, just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship the golden image.
