Exegesis
The conjunction kedi {כְּדִי | kədî} ‘when; as soon as’ introduces the conditional clause headed by the participle shamin {שָׁמְעִין | šāməʿîn} ‘they heard’, which governs an asyndetic series of musical instrument nouns.
In context — Daniel 3:7
Therefore, at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the trigon, the harp, the psalteries, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
