Kabbalah sa Daniel 3:1: Sha'arei Orah

נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּ֣ר מַלְכָּ֗א עֲבַד֙ צְלֵ֣ם דִּֽי־דְהַ֔ב רוּמֵהּ֙ אַמִּ֣ין שִׁתִּ֔ין פְּתָיֵ֖הּ אַמִּ֣ין שִׁ֑ת אֲקִימֵהּ֙ בְּבִקְעַ֣ת דּוּרָ֔א בִּמְדִינַ֖ת בָּבֶֽל׃

Si Haring Nabucodonosor ay gumawa ng isang larawang ginto, na ang taas ay animnapung siko at ang lapad ay anim na siko; itinayo niya ito sa kapatagan ng Dura, sa lalawigan ng Babilonia.

Sha'arei Orah

This then, is the secret of the verse,341Daniel 3:1 “King Nevuchadnezzar made a golden statue, its height was sixty cubits and its width was six cubits; he stood it in the valley of Dura, in the country of Bavel-בבל,” and similarly,342Genesis 11:2-9 “They found a valley in the land of Shinar… That is why it was called Bavel-בבל.” That wicked person, Nevuchadnezzar, wanted to fulfill the intention of the generation of dispersion and carry out what they could not do. What did he do? He commanded all the nations to gather and prostrate to that idol in his quest to fulfill what they had said, “Let us make a Name-Shem-שם for ourselves.” Thus, that very day he gathered all the nations, peoples and languages, for the dedication of the idol, and inserted one of the vessels of the Holy Temple which had the Name HaShem-יהו״ה engraved upon it, into its mouth, in order to fulfill the intention of the generation of dispersion.
