Daniel and the Lawgiver

The Book of Susanna 1:76

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·March 24, 2026

And they did to them according to the law of Moses, "And you shall do to him as he had intended to do to his brother."

And they killed them, and they were saved on that day from shedding innocent blood in Israel.

And Hilkiah and his wife gave praise and glory to God for the matter of their daughter, for no shameful thing was found in her.

And so her husband Jehoiakim and his entire family did too.

And Daniel became great and esteemed in the eyes of the people from that day forward, and further until the day of his death.
