Daniel 9:4-19

According to Charles, a later interpolation containing the confession of Daniel. This prayer was evidently written by a Palestinian Jew (see Daniel 9:7 and Daniel 9:16), and does not, therefore, maintain the point of view assumed in the rest of the book, where the writer is supposed to be living at the court of Babylon. There is little originality in the prayer, and many of its phrases are borrowed from other parts of the OT.

Daniel 9:11. written in the law of Moses: cf. Deuteronomy 29:20.

Daniel 9:13. as it is written: cf. Deuteronomy 28:15; Deuteronomy 30:1.
