“Therefore,
As soon as
All the people
Heard the sound
Of the horn,
The pipe,
The lyre,
The trigon,
The harp,
The drum,
The entire musical ensemble,
All the people,
All the nations,
All the language groups,
Fell down.
They worshiped
The golden statue
That King Nebuchadnezzar
Had set up.”
According, everyone fell down and worshiped this statue of King Nebuchadnezzar, including all the various people, countries, and language groups. When they heard these various musical instruments, they reacted immediately. Just as in the preceding section, these were the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the trigon, the harp, and the drum, some with a Semitic origin, while others were Greek or Egyptian. Obviously, not everyone in the world could hear these musical sounds.
