Subject: Daniel's age when taken captive? chp.1:6 |
Bible Note: The translation of Daniel 1:5-6 from Hebrew does not give Daniel's age but we can deduce that he was a teenager at the time of his capture. Verse 5 says that "They were to be educated for 3 years, at the end of which they were to enter the king's service." (Daniel 1:5 JPS). Dr. Thomas Constable estimates that Daniel's ministry lasted 70 years, the entire duration of the Babylonian Captivity. Daniel probably lived to be at least 85 years old and perhaps older. So he was around 15 and could have been older. |
