Bel and the Dragon 30–32

And when the king saw that the mob from the country was gathered against him he called his companions, and said, I give ⁽up⁽ Daniel to be destroyed.

Now there, was a den in which seven lions were kept to which those who plotted against the king used to be delivered up, two bodies of persons condemned to death being provided for them daily ⁽as food⁽.

So the crowds cast Daniel into that den that he might be devoured and find no burial. And Daniel was in the lions’ den six days.
