Exegesis

pālḥîn {לָא־איתינא אִיתַ֣נָא פָֽלְחִ֔ין | lā-ʾitinā ʾitānā pālḥîn} frames the participle (“serving”) with existential/copular material, producing a forceful denial (“we are not … serving”).

In context — Daniel 3:18

But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not serving your gods, and to the gold image you have set up we will not bow down .
