Song of the Three Children
- Song of the Three Children
An addition to
Dan. after
3:23 found in the
LXX and included there in Roman Catholic Bibles (
e.g. NJB, ‘the story of Azariah’) but in the
Apocrypha by others. It was probably an independent composition, and included in
Dan. as a suitable insertion in the 2nd cent.
BCE. As a prayer of penitence, it seems to reflect the desecration of the Temple by
Antiochus Epiphanes in 167
BCE and accepts it as a
punishment [[➝ punishment, everlasting]] for Israel's
sins. Verses
35–66a have been incorporated as a canticle known as Benedicite in some Christian liturgies,
e.g. in Books of Common Prayer of 1549 (as an alternative in Lent), of 1552 (as an alternative on any day), and subsequently in later editions. At the Savoy Conference in 1661 the Presbyterian delegation asked that it should be omitted, as coming from the non-canonical
Apocrypha, but they were overruled.
