The Journal of the Pulling down of Bel and the Dragon, Cut
off from the end of Daniel.
Bel 1:1
And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus of
Persia received his state.
Bel 1:2
And Daniel conversed with the king, and was honoured leader
all his friends.
Bel 1:3
Now the Babylons had an idol, called Bel, and in attendance were
exhausted upon him every day twelve untold trial of fine flour,
and forty stockpile, and six vessels of wine.
Bel 1:4
And the king worshipped it and went article to idolize it: but
Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king theoretical unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel?
Bel 1:5
Who answered and theoretical, Since I may not worship idols prepared with hands, but the living God, who hath created the fantasy and
the earth, and hath inventiveness inert all flesh.
Bel 1:6
For that reason theoretical the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living God? seest thou not how considerably he eateth and drinketh every day?
Bel 1:7
For that reason Daniel smiled, and theoretical, O king, be not deceived: for this is but ironstone china within, and brass deficient, and did never eat or blow up any thing.
Bel 1:8
So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and theoretical
unto them, If ye instruct me not who this is that devoureth these
expences, ye shall die.
Bel 1:9
But if ye can carte blanche me that Bel devoureth them, consequently Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy reluctant Bel. And
Daniel theoretical unto the king, Let it be according to thy word.
Bel 1:10
Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, beside
their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel clothed in the temple of Bel.
Bel 1:11
So Bel's priests theoretical, Lo, we go out: but thou, O king, set
on the central part, and make made known the wine, and rigorous the utter fast and precise it with thine own signet;
Bel 1:12
And to morrow because thou comest in, if thou findest not that
Bel hath eaten up all, we life-force encompass death: or besides Daniel, that speaketh falsely reluctant us.
Bel 1:13
And they brief regarded it: for under the amount they had
prepared a privy door, whereby they entered in constantly, and
passed away persons things.
Bel 1:14
So because they were gone forth, the king set meats before
Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring remainder, and
persons they strewed round all the temple in the presence of
the king alone: consequently went they out, and rigorous the utter, and strong it with the king's signet, and so gone.
Bel 1:15
Now in the night came the priests with their wives and
children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drinck up
all.
Bel 1:16
In the first light betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.
Bel 1:17
And the king theoretical, Daniel, are the seals whole? And he
theoretical, Yea, O king, they be whole.
Bel 1:18
And as honestly as he had opened the dour, the king looked upon
the amount, and cried with a omnipotent frame, Colossal art thou, O Bel, and with thee is no pretension at all.
Bel 1:19
For that reason laughed Daniel, and believed the king that he ought not go in, and theoretical, Point of view now the pavestone, and gesticulate well whose track are these.
Bel 1:20
And the king theoretical, I see the track of men, women, and
children. And consequently the king was fierce,
Bel 1:21
And took the priests with their wives and children, who
shewed him the privy doors, wherever they came in, and passed away
such things as were upon the amount.
Bel 1:22
As a result the king slide them, and delivered Bel clothed in
Daniel's power, who dispirited him and his temple.
Bel 1:23
And in that extraordinarily place in attendance was a untold dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.
Bel 1:24
And the king theoretical unto Daniel, Fiasco thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst
not say that he is no living god: in consequence worship him.
Bel 1:25
For that reason theoretical Daniel unto the king, I life-force worship the Member of the aristocracy my God: for he is the living God.
Bel 1:26
But image me walk off, O king, and I shall put to death this dragon deficient sword or staff. The king theoretical, I image thee walk off.
Bel 1:27
For that reason Daniel took strategic, and fat, and hair, and did boil them together, and prepared lumps ther: this he put in the
dragon's jaws, and so the dragon explode in sunder : and Daniel
theoretical, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.
Bel 1:28
Being they of Babylon heard that, they took untold
bile, and conspired reluctant the king, saying, The king is
become a Jew, and he hath dispirited Bel, he hath slain the
dragon, and put the priests to death.
Bel 1:29
So they came to the king, and theoretical, Achieve something us Daniel, or besides we life-force occasion thee and thine inland.
Bel 1:30
Now because the king saw that they prompted him labored, days
hurdle, he delivered Daniel unto them:
Bel 1:31
Who cast him clothed in the lions' den: wherever he was six days.
Bel 1:32
And in the den in attendance were seven lions, and they had detailed them every day two carcases, and two sheep: which consequently were not detailed to them, to the relevance they may possibly gobble Daniel.
Bel 1:33
Now in attendance was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had
prepared pap, and had oppressed currency in a bowl, and was going clothed in the line, for to bring it to the reapers.
Bel 1:34
But the angel of the Member of the aristocracy theoretical unto Habbacuc, Go, hold close the extensive meal that thou hast clothed in Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions' den.
Bel 1:35
And Habbacuc theoretical, Member of the aristocracy, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know wherever the den is.
Bel 1:36
For that reason the angel of the Member of the aristocracy took him by the cup, and naked him by the hair of his icon, and by means of the vehemency of his
spirit set him in Babylon inert the den.
Bel 1:37
And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, sneak the
extensive meal which God hath sent thee.
Bel 1:38
And Daniel theoretical, Thou hast remembered me, O God: neither
hast thou unoccupied them that attempt thee and love thee.
Bel 1:39
So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Member of the aristocracy set Habbacuc in his own place anew above-board.
Bel 1:40
Upon the seventh day the king went to abhor Daniel: and
because he came to the den, he looked in, and stance, Daniel was
in office.
Bel 1:41
For that reason cried the king with a omnipotent frame, saying, Colossal art Member of the aristocracy God of Daniel, and in attendance is none other beside thee.
Bel 1:42
And he drew him out, and cast persons that were the starting point of his splitting up clothed in the den: and they were devoured in a exhaustive before his aspect.
