Exegesis
The speech frame aneh veamar {עָנֵ֨ה וְאָמַ֜ר | ʿā-neh wə-ʾāmar} introduces a rhetorical question using the particle hala {הֲלָא֩ | ha-lāʾ}, asking if three men (guvrin telata {גֻבְרִ֨ין תְּלָתָ֜א | guv-rīn tə-lā-tā}) bound (mekapptin {מְכַפְּתִ֔ין | mə-kap-pə-tīn}) were thrown (remeina {רְמֵ֤ינָא | rə-mē-nā}) into the midst of fire (lego nura {לְגוֹא־נוּרָא֙ | lə-gō nū-rā}).
In context — Daniel 3:24
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in alarm. He answered and said to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "Certainly, O king."
