Read | Day 218 | Thursday | August 6
Jeremiah 19: 1-15
Jeremiah 20: 1-6, 7-18
Daniel 1: 1-2, 3-21
Date | 605 BC
Background | Center for Biblical Studies | Click here
Daniel is the last of the major prophetical books and it is set in the exile, though some of the book pertains to events much later on in Israel’s history, specifically in the second century BC. This has led to the nearly universal scholarly consensus that Daniel was not written until the second century or later, even if there are older traditions included within it. As a whole, Daniel is considered to be a largely fictional account of Israel’s exilic experience, especially as it has some similarities to two other “hero” stories of the time: the Apocryphal books of Tobit and Judith. Along with Ezra, Daniel is the only other book of the Old Testament to be (largely) written in both Hebrew and Aramaic (chapters 2-7). More - click here

Collect of the Day
O God, who on the holy mount revealed to chosen witnesses your well-beloved Son, wonderfully transfigured, in raiment white and glistening: Mercifully grant that we, being delivered from the disquietude of this world, may by faith behold the King in his beauty; who with you, O Father, and you, O Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
