The Motif Searcher: one word across the Douay, the Latin, the Greek and the Hebrew.

Daniel 3:24

And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the Lord.

Challoner: And they walkedHere St. Jerome takes notice, that from this verse, to ver. 91, was not in the Hebrew in his time. But as it was in all the Greek Bibles, (which were originally translated from the Hebrew,) it is more than probable that it had been formerly in the Hebrew or rather in the Chaldaic, in which the book of Daniel was written. But this is certain: that it is, and has been of old, received by the church, and read as canonical scripture in her liturgy, and divine offices.

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Et ambulabant in medio flammæ, laudantes Deum, et benedicentes Domino.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ περιεπάτουν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς φλογὸς ὑμνοῦντες τὸν θεὸν καὶ εὐλογοῦντες τὸν κύριον.
Hebrew (WLC): The Hebrew Daniel has no such verse: the prayer of Azarias and the song of the three children are in the Greek alone.

Haydock's commentary

And, &c. "What follows I have not found in the Hebrew volumes." (St. Jerome) (Haydock)

Here St. Jerome takes notice, that from this verse to ver. 91 was not in the Hebrew in his time. But as it was in all the Greek Bibles, (which were originally translated from the Hebrew) it is more than probable that it had been formerly in the Hebrew; or rather in the Chaldaic, in which the Book of Daniel was written. But this is certain: that it is and has been of old, received by the Church, and read as canonical Scripture in her liturgy and divine offices. (Challoner)
