How old was Daniel when he was captured?

Answer 1

A:The Book of Daniel ends with Daniel still alive, so there is no way of knowing how old he was when he died. All we can say is that in the best historical context, Daniel must have already been very old at the end of the book.

Biblical scholars say that the Book of Daniel, although set in the time of the Babylonian Exile, was a novel actually written around 167 BCE. It is not possible to say from sources outside the Book of Daniel when Daniel died.

Answer 2

According to one analysis, the story of Daniel (Biblical figure) dates to around 600 BC, with the stories of the Book of Daniel collected by around 200 to 100 BC.

Answer 3

If you're asking about the Prophet Daniel:

He was born in 621 BC. He died in 539 BC (making him 82 years old).
