Before Daniel: Abraham's Fiery Furnace
וַיָּ֣מׇת הָרָ֔ן עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֶּ֣רַח אָבִ֑יו בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מוֹלַדְתּ֖וֹ בְּא֥וּר כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃
Haran died in the lifetime of his father Terah, in his native land, Ur of the Chaldeans.
וּמִית הָרָן עַל אַפֵּי תֶּרַח אֲבוּהִי בְּאַרְעָא דְיַלָּדוּתֵיהּ בְּאוּרָא דְכַסְדָּאֵי:
Haran died during the lifetime of his father Terach, in the land of his birth in Ur Kasdim.
וַהֲוָה כַּד רָמָא נִמְרוֹד יַת אַבְרָם לְאַתּוּנָא דְנוּרָא דְלָא פְלַח לְטַעֲוָותֵיהּ וְלָא הֲוָה רְשׁוּתָא לְנוּרָא לְמוֹקְדֵיהּ וּבְכֵן אִתְפְּלַג לִבָּא דְהָרָן לְמֵימַר אִילוּ נָצַח נִמְרוֹד אֱהֵא מִן סִיַעְתֵּהּ וְאִלוּ נָצַח אַבְרָם אֱהֵא מִן סִיַעֲתֵּהּ וּכְדִי חָמוּן כָּל עַמְמַיָא דַהֲווֹ תַמָן דְלָא שָׁלְטַת נוּרָא בְּאַבְרָם אָמְרוּ בְּלִבְּהוֹן הֲלָא הָרָן אֲחוֹי דְאַבְרָם מָלֵא קוּסְמִין וְחַרְשִׁין וְאִיהוּ לָחַשׁ עֲלוֹי אֵישָׁתָא דְלָא לְמֵיקַד יַת אָחוֹי מִן יַד נָפְלַת אֵישָׁתָא מִן שְׁמֵי מְרוֹמָא וּגְמַרְתֵּיהּ וּמִית הָרָן לְמֵיחְמֵי תֶּרַח אֲבוֹי הֵיךְ אִתּוֹקָד בְּאַרְעָא יַלְדוּתֵיהּ בְּאַתּוּן נוּרָא דְעָבְדוּ כַּשְדָאֵי לְאַבְרָם אָחוֹי
And it was when Nimrod had cast Abram into the furnace of fire because he would not worship his idol, and the fire had no power to burn him, that Haran's heart became doubtful, saying, If Nimrod overcome, I will be on his side: but if Abram overcome, I will be on his side. And when all the people who were there saw that the fire had no power over Abram, they said in their hearts, Is not Haran the brother of Abram full of divinations and charms, and has he not uttered spells over the fire that it should not burn his brother? Immediately (min yad, out of hand) there fell fire from the high heavens and consumed him; and Haran died in the sight of Terah his father, where he was burned in the land of his nativity, in the furnace of fire which the Kasdai had made for Abram his brother.
