{{versions}}The Book of Daniel is a book of the Old Testament. It was originally written partly in ancient Hebrew, and partly in Aramaic. It has the largest number of Aramaic verses compared to other books of the Bible, with 200 of its verses being originally written in Aramaic. The book is set during the Babylonian Captivity, a period when Jews were deported and exiled to Babylon following the first siege of Jerusalem in 597 BC. The book revolves around the figure of Daniel, an Israelite who became a trusted adviser to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon from 605 BC - 562 BC.
{{bookstudies}}* [[Daniel 1 The book has two distinct parts. The first part contains a series of stories (chapters one to six) and 3: A devotion on Integrity the second part contains four apocalyptic visions (Cparkchapters seven to twelve)]].
