Exegesis
The object is le-tselem dahava {לְצֶלֶם דַּהֲבָא | lə-ṣe-lem dahă-bā} “the gold image,” modified by the relative clause di haqim {דִּי הֲקֵים | dî ha-qēm} “that he has set up,” where Nebuchadnezzar nebuchadnetsar {נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּ֥ר | nə-bu-ḵad-net-ṣar} is identified as malka {מַלְכָּא | mal-kā}. The English rendering preserves the temporal structure first, followed by the imperative commands, then the object and its agent for clarity.
In context — Daniel 3:5
At the time that you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, harp, trigon, psalteries, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up .
