sousanna
Susanna and the Elders (Daniel 13, Old Greek) - Septuagint
Daniel in the Hebrew text ends with chapter 12. In the LXX, Daniel 13 contains the following story called Susanna and the Elders. This is the OLD GREEK version, somewhat different from Theodotion's version. The Old Greek (original?) was rejected and the Church adopted Theodotion's version into its official copies of the Septuagint. I post both versions at this website for historical/educational purposes. NOTE: Verse numbering is quite confusing, but I have left the verses as they are numbered in the text downloaded from the Unbound Bible web page.
