Exegesis
The phrase bah-shaʿtā {בַּהּ שַׁעֲתָא | bah-šaʿtā} ‘at that moment’ (with a feminine suffix referring back to “the hour/time”) functions as an immediacy marker, tightening the consequence to the same instant as disobedience.
In context — Daniel 3:6
And whoever does not fall down and worship , at that hour he shall be thrown into the midst of a furnace of fire, burning.
