Daniel 3:23 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

And these three men—fell down, &c.— Houbigant inserts between the 23rd and 24th verses two verses which are found in the Vulgate to this purpose: "But an angel of the Lord descended to Azariah and his companions into the furnace, and drove the flame of fire from the furnace, and they walked in the midst of the flame, praising and blessing the Lord." The LXX and Arabic read the beginning of the 24th verse thus; Then Nebuchadnezzar heard them singing praise, and was astonished, &c. The Vulgate and several other of the versions, introduce after the 23rd verse, The Song of the Three Children, found in the Apocrypha, which is not found in the Hebrew.
