Dan. 3:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Dan. 3:4      Dan. 3:6

Daniel 3:5

When you hear the sound of
horn (some kind of wind instrument, probably the horn of an animal),
flute (pipe, the Aramaic word is related to a Hebrew word for blowing and whistling),
zither (stringed instrument with between three and twelve strings),
lyre (trigon, small triangle-shaped instrument, probably with three strings for higher notes),
harp (Aramaic pesanterin, from Gk. psalterion – psalter, a triangular stringed instrument),
drum (wind or percussion instrument – Aramaic sumponeya; from Gk. symphonia or tympanon)
and all kinds of instruments,
you shall fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
[The first two instruments are probably wind instruments, followed by three different types of string instruments. The sixth instrument is the most difficult to identify. Common suggestions are bagpipes or drums. Based on inscriptions of orchestras from this period, and its placement in the list, it is probably some kind of percussion instrument. There are several parallels with Revelation chapter 13. The beast from the earth makes an image that everyone must worship, and his number is 666, see Rev 13:12–18. The number six recurs several times in this chapter. The statue is 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide, see Dan. 3:1. There are also six instruments that are named and listed three times, see Dan. 3:5, 7, 10.]
