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}).
