Translation commentary on The Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Young Men 1:50

If integrated into the book of Daniel: 3.70

Frosts may be described in some areas as “frozen dew.” Again, however, there will be cultures where “frost” and “snow” are unknown. Translators should see how they have translated these terms elsewhere (for example, Job 37.6; Psa 148.8).
