Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Coats ... hosen ... hats. Herodotus (1: 195) says that the Babylonian costume consisted of three parts:
(1) wide long pantaloons;
(2) a woolen shirt;
(3) an outer mantle with a girdle round it.
So these are specified (Gesenius), 'their pantaloons, long and wide, as they are worn by Orientals (not as the English version, coats), inner tunics (hosen, or stockings, are not commonly worn in the East), and outer mantles' (so the version called 'the breeches Bible' renders it cloaks). Their being cast in so hurriedly, with all their garments on, enhanced the miracle, in that not even the smell of fire passed on their clothes, though of delicate inflammable material.
