Context: The word סַרְבַּל (sarbal) is found in the book of Daniel, specifically in the context of the fiery furnace narrative. In Daniel 3:21, it is used to describe the garments worn by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego when they were cast into the fiery furnace. The passage highlights the completeness of their attire, emphasizing that they were fully clothed, including their cloaks, when they were bound and thrown into the fire. This detail underscores the miraculous nature of their deliverance, as not even their garments were singed by the flames. The use of the term סַרְבַּל in this context suggests a garment of some significance, possibly indicating status or protection, which further amplifies the miraculous preservation of the three men.
