was singed (describing hair unaffected by fire in Nebuchadnezzar's furnace)
This Aramaic Hithpael verb appears in Daniel 3:27, where officials inspect Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego after the fiery furnace and discover that 'the hair of their heads was not singed' (לָא-הִתְחָרַךְ). The reflexive stem indicates the hair did not experience singeing upon itself—it remained completely unaffected by flames. This detail emphasizes the miraculous nature of their deliverance: not even minor fire damage occurred. The Spanish 'se quemó' and French 'griller' reference burning/singing, though in the negative construct of the miracle.

1. sense 1 — The negative statement about singeing serves as climactic evidence of divine protection—not only did the three survive, but fire left absolutely no trace on their bodies. Hair, being highly flammable, would show even brief exposure to heat. The Aramaic technical term for singeing appears nowhere else in Scripture, making this a unique attestation of a rare verb. The detail functions rhetorically to establish the totality of the miracle and vindicate the God of Israel before Babylon's court. 1×
