Daniel, Book Of The only apocalypse in the Hebrew Bible. While the Jewish canon includes Daniel among the writings (כתובים, ktwbym), the Christian canon classifies Daniel with the Prophets.
Overview
Daniel can be divided both generically and linguistically: Dan 1–6 is a collection of stories about the Jerusalem exile, Daniel, and his fellow exiles; Dan 7–12 is a series of visions attributed to Daniel. However, Dan 2:4b–7:28 are in Aramaic, while Dan 1:1–2:4a and 8–12 are in Hebrew. Numerous theories have been advanced to account for this (Collins Daniel, 12–13; Valeta, “Book of Daniel,” 340–43).
