1. Bel and the Dragon

   The narrative of Bel and the Dragon is incorporated as chapter 14 of the extended Book of Daniel. The original Septuagint text in Greek survives in a single manuscript, Codex Chisianus, while the standard text is due to Theodotion, the 2nd-century AD revisor. This chapter, along with chapter 13, is considered deuterocanonical: it was unknown to early Rabbinic Judaism, and while it is considered non-canonical by most Protestants, it is canonical to both Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians, and is found in the Apocrypha section of 80 Protestant Bibles.

1. bel and the dragon

   "Bel and the Dragon" is a portion of the Apocrypha, which are religious texts that are included in some versions of the Christian Bible, such as the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox versions, but excluded from other versions like the Protestant Bible. The story is an addition to the book of Daniel. It describes two incidents where Daniel proves King Cyrus that the gods Bel and the dragon are not real gods. Daniel demonstrates that Bel's priests secretly consume offerings themselves and he kills the dragon by making it eat a ball of tar, fat and hair. This story showcases the theme of Daniel's unwavering faith in God and stands as a testament against idolatry.

   The narrative of Bel and the Dragon incorporated as chapter 14 of the extended Book of Daniel exists only in Greek in the Septuagint. This chapter, along with chapter 13, is referred to as deuterocanonical, in that it is not universally accepted among Christians as belonging to the canonical works accepted as the Bible. The text is viewed as canonical by both Catholic and Orthodox Christians but as apocryphal by Protestants and typically not found in modern Protestant Bibles, though it was in the original 1611 edition of the King James Version. It is listed in Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England.
