Where it appears

Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 7:9 דָּלִֽק׃ burning

    As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.

    Here: 'Burning', a participle. The wheels are burning right now and keep burning, and the fire leads into the 'river of fire' that pours out in v. 10.
