Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al-avidat medinat babel {עַל־עֲבִידַת מְדִינַת בָּבֶל | ʿal-ʿăḇīḏaṯ məḏīnaṯ bāḇel} ‘over the province of Babylon’ specifies jurisdiction. An appositional list of proper names then appears.
In context — Daniel 3:12
There are men, Jews, whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—these men, O king, have not set their regard upon you ; they do not serve your god , nor do they worship the golden image that you have set up.
