35. When Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were imprisoned, to drop them into the furnace of the burning fire, Hananiah said, \u201cThe Lord is for me, I shall not fear what man does to me. The Lord is for me in those who help me, and I shall see in those who hate me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mishael opened and said, \u201cThus said the Lord to the house of Jacob, who redeemed Abraham, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale, for when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they will sanctify My name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
36. At that time, they judged him above. The Creator said, \u201cThis one will say, \u2018I am the Lord\u2019s.\u2019\u201d This is Hananiah, who said, \u201cThe Lord is for me in those who help me, and I shall see in those who hate me.\u201d And this one will be called by the name Jacob. This is Mishael, who said, \u201cThus said the Lord to the house of Jacob,\u201d and he will be called by the name Israel. This is Azariah, who said, \u201cHear O Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
37. When Mishael said, \u201cThus said the Lord to the house of Jacob, who redeemed Abraham,\u201d the Chaldeans mocked them with their tongues. The Creator said, \u201cMy throne, that mockery that they mocked, save them, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,\u201d in this degree, \u201cas I had saved Abraham. And Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale.\u201d At that time, all those who imprisoned them were killed by a spark of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
38. Why was Daniel not with them? He thought in his heart, \u201cBut they made a similitude out of him, and the king called his name like the name of his god, as it is written, in Daniel, \u201cWhose name is Belshazzar, as the name of my god,\u201d and it is written, \u201cYou shall burn the statues of their gods with fire\u200e.\u201d For this reason, he hid from them. Can a person run from the Kingship? However, angels concealed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
39. What did Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah see that they gave themselves up to the fire? One day, David went down to entertain himself before the river. He was saying, \u201cPreserve my life, for I am a Hassid [one who has the quality of Hesed].\u201d They told him, \u201cAre you a Hassid?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said to them, \u201cI am not a Hassid, for my hands are dirty with blood, and amniotic fluid, and placenta, and purify the pure, and defile the impure, and I gladly rise in three watches, as it is written, \u2018At midnight, I will rise to thank You,\u2019 and I sleep like a horse, in one exhale, one breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
40. \u201cAt midnight, I rise to engage in Torah, and in the third watch, I play with the angels to the Creator, as it is written, \u2018When the morning stars sing together, and all of God\u2019s children cheer.\u2019 God\u2019s children are the holy angels, who say psalms with me at night, as it is written, \u2018And in the night, His song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
41. The frogs said, \u201cWe did more than you for the Creator, for we were burning our bodies in fire in the oven in Egypt. When they imprisoned Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, they said to themselves, \u201cWe will do as the frogs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
