Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 3:15 עֲתִידִ֗ין ready

    Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the statue I have made, very good. But if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown at once into the blazing fiery furnace. Then what god will be able to deliver you from my hands?”

    Here: 'Ready, prepared': the king asks whether they are willing and set to comply when the signal comes.
