Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 3:2

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governours, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the Provinces , to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

This great Statue whether Nebuchadnezzars own, or Bel, or any other of his gods, see verse 14. must be solemnly dedicated, and therefore all the Peers of the Realm are called to it, but whether these ranks of Men and Officers are truly rendred from the Chaldee words, is hard to determine, and not worth disputing: Etymologists differ in it, this only is material, that the heads of all that vast Empire were summoned, of several Nations and Languages, to testifie their conformity to the Emperors will, and thereby give assurance of obliging the people under them to the same obedience, i. e. to the same Idolatrous Worship.

It was the manner of the Heathen to Consecrate their Idol before they worshipped it, and herein as in many other, Satan imitated the Iewes, and their Temple dedication, Iohn 10.22. they held a feast: The Popish Church do the like, when they dedicated material Temples to particular Saints, with solemnity and jollity, from whence cometh the feasts of wakes and revels to this day.
