📚 Historical Context
In the book of Daniel, which is set during the Babylonian exile, Daniel was a high-ranking Jewish official who faced jealousy from his peers due to his unwavering faith and success. His enemies tricked King Darius into issuing a decree that prohibited anyone from praying to any god or human except the king for 30 days, hoping to catch Daniel breaking the law. When they spied on him, they found him praying to his God as he had consistently done throughout his life.
