Exegesis
The Peal perfect amar {אֲמַר֙ | ʾă-mar} ‘he commanded’ is a direct speech act introducing two sequential infinitive constructs: lekappatha {לְכַפָּתָ֔ה | lə-kap-pā-ṯā} ‘to bind’ and lemirmê {לְמִרְמֵ֕א | lə-mir-mê} ‘to throw’, which lay out the ordered actions.
In context — Daniel 3:20
And he commanded the mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego and throw them into the burning furnace of fire .
