### Structure and formatting
|

|
||||
#### Training for government jobs
|
||||
|
||||
Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were chosen to be trained for service in the Babylonian kingdom. It was not unusual for foreigners to be given positions in the Babylonian government as advisors or cultural ambassadors.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Food laws
|
||||
|
||||
The food from the king included things the Jews were not allowed to eat according to the law of Moses. Daniel requested permission not to eat the king's food. He proved to the king that this food was not necessary for good health. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])

# Daniel 2 General Notes
|

|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in Daniel's prayer in 2:20-23.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### The king's dream
|
||||
|
||||
Daniel told the king's dream and what the dream meant. In the ancient Near East, it was believed that only people in touch with the gods could interpret dreams. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### How Daniel knew the dream
|
||||
|
||||
Daniel gave Yahweh the honor for having told him the dream and its meaning in answer to the prayers of the four men.

# Daniel 3 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### The king's new idol
|
||||
|
||||
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship the new idol. In the ancient Near East, refusing to worship the king was a sign of rebellion against the king. It was often considered the crime of treason. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sign]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### The furnace
|
||||
|
||||
There was a fourth person with them in the furnace, and because of this they were not hurt. Most scholars believe this to be Jesus before he was born.

Verses 19-33 switch to the third person to describe the punishment of Nebuchadnezzar. Verses 34-37 change back to first person as Nebuchadnezzar describes his response to God.

The abstract noun "interpretation" can be translated as a verb. See how you translated it in [Daniel 2:4](../02/04.md). Alternate translation: "Tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it for me" or "Tell me what I saw in my dream, and tell me what it means" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
