Meaning: same as Dor · 1 cross reference · Modern-day map available
Dura was the plain near Babylon where Nebuchadnezzar set up the golden image in Daniel. It is important because it is the setting of a major confrontation between imperial worship and faithful resistance. First appears in Dan 3:1.1
AI summary: Dura matters because the pressure to conform is grounded in a named landscape of empire. The plain becomes the stage on which Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse idolatry and bear witness under threat.1
