If integrated into the book of Daniel: 3.69
In languages where ice is unknown, we may something like “water that hardens because of the cold” or even “water that is very cold.” However, this would make a rather lengthy and not very poetic line. In such cases translators may combine ice and cold as “cold that makes one shiver” or even “terrible cold.”
