Additions to Daniel

The additions to Daniel comprise of three additional chapters appended to the Hebrew/Aramaic text of Daniel from the Greek Septuagint. They are accepted as canonical and translated as such in Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Bibles. These additions are:

• The Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Holy Children : assimilated into chapter 3 (The Fiery Furnace episode).

• Susanna and the Elders : as chapter 13

• Bel and the Dragon : as chapter 14

Protestant versions exclude these additions as apocryphal, retaining only the text found in the Hebrew/Aramaic Daniel, though the three are placed with other apocryphal books in between the Testaments in Bibles published with the Apocrypha.
