Description
Summary:Daniel 3 is a text in which many repetitions occur. In one of these recurring phrases a number of musical instruments are listed (vv 5, 7, 10, 15). However, in verse 5 the last instrument on the list, commonly translated as 'bagpipe' is missing. In this article the case of the missing 'bagpipe' is addressed by employing a narrative theory based on the work of Bar-Efrat and more specific the work of Alter and Sternberg. The results of this synchronic inquiry are then merged with a diachronic approach to the text.
