The Idol of Gold and the Hot Furnace

King Nebuchadnezzar had a gold idol made that was 60 cubits[a] high and 6 cubits[b] wide. Then he set the idol up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. Then he called the satraps, prefects, governors, advisors, treasurers, judges, rulers, and all the other officials in his kingdom to come together. He wanted all of them to come to the dedication ceremony for the idol.

So all the men came and stood in front of the idol that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
