Greetings Lisa! The section you refer to in Daniel is not included in protestant Bibles because it is not found in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. It is found in the later Greek versions and the Vulgate, but not the the Hebrew. Therefore, protestants have rejected this section as a later addition. If I recall correctly, it was not considered a part of the Hebrew canon either. It was only the Catholic church which decided that it belonged. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Ah HA, I see! I also read last night that the actual "Hebrew Canon" was put together after the Christian one. I found that kinda curious. Prior to our Bible, they were only interested in a scroll of The Law. Macabees (apochryphal) tells of the fella who gathered up all the writings he could find. Kings, laws, letters. Again written in Greek. The Hebrews rejected all Greek writings because they didn't see the Gentiles as people of God. No possible way he would send the Holy Spirit unto them! NIV Acts 10 44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, 47 "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have." 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days. The entire New Testament is written in Greek. Of course the Hebrews, not believing in Jesus, reject all the New Testament as well. Hmmmmm. |

Greetings Lisa! The point I was actually trying to make is that Daniel was written in Hebrew and Aramaic. Since the section you refer to is only found in Greek copies, it appears to have been added later in a different language. The Hebrew copies are all dated earlier than the Greek. The New Testament is written in Greek because at that time the entire world had been conqured by Rome. So, the issue isn't whether or not Greek is as good as Hebrew. The issue is if the longer version of chapter 3 is original, why isn't it found in the earlier copies in the original language? It appears as though a Greek copist simply added that section to the Hebrew text. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
