Languages of the book of Daniel (Schaff, A dictionary of the Bible, 4th ed, 1887)
Text: none Quote: [...] The book is written in prose, but not in the same language throughout. The introduction, chs. 1-2 :4, first clause, is written in Hebrew, but from the second clause of the fourth verse of the second chapter to the end of ch. 7 it is in Aramaic, called Syriac in that verse. From the beginning of ch. 8 to the end, in which part the visions are related in the first person, the language is Hebrew.
