The TanakhKetuvim
Danielדניאל
Daniel is set in the courts of Babylon and Persia. Its middle chapters, from 2:4 through chapter 7, are in Aramaic, so a Hebrew search here also runs over Aramaic letters. In the traditional arrangement it stands among the Ketuvim. Tradition says the Men of the Great Assembly set it in writing.
