Question
An apocryphal addition to this book describes a locked room mystery where priests were consuming offerings left for the god Bel. A figure in this book is told “the sanctuary will be cleansed” after he has a vision about a goat slaying a ram with its horn. A man in this book refuses to eat the king’s meat for ten days, making him appear “fairer and fatter.” This book’s title character interprets the phrase “mene, mene, tekel, upharsin” (“MEH-nay MEH-nay TEK-el oo-FAR-seen”). After refusing to (*) bow to a king’s golden statue in this book, Shadrach (“SHAD-rack”), Meshach (“MEE-shack”), and Abednego (“uh-BED-nuh-goh”) emerge unharmed from a furnace with the “a son of the gods.” For 10 points, name this Old Testament book whose title prophet interprets a warning at Belshezzar’s (“BEL-shuh-zar’s”) feast and survives being thrown into the lions’ den. ■END■
