This edition was completed around 163 B.C.E. There is a Hebrew edition of Daniel that consists of 12 chapters, which was actually written in both Hebrew and Aramaic.Although Daniel interprets the king’s dreams and visions throughout chapters 2-6, in chapters 7-12 it is Daniel who receives visions that he himself cannot interpret. Daniel rises to power and prestige in the Babylonian court because he can interpret dreams better than the king’s own magicians can. According to the biblical book bearing his name, Daniel is a wise man whom King Nebuchadnezzar takes captive during the invasion of Jerusalem.
