If it be so , our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Daniel 3:17-18 KJV
Daniel and his friends are young Jews taken to Babylon and trained for royal service. The first half is a set of stories: refusing the king's food, surviving the fiery furnace, interpreting dreams, and spending a night in the lions' den. In each, loyalty to God costs something but is vindicated. The second half records Daniel's visions of beasts, kingdoms and a heavenly figure, 'one like a son of man'. Part of the book is written in Aramaic. It speaks to people living under foreign empires.
Author: Traditionally Daniel; some scholars date it to the 2nd century BC.
When it was written: Set in the 6th century BC; traditional dating then, with some proposing about 165 BC.
