Where is it in The Bible what you can eat?
In the Bible, the dietary laws are outlined in the book of Leviticus, particularly Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. These chapters detail what foods are considered clean or unclean for consumption by the Israelites. Generally, clean animals are those that chew the cud and have a split hoof, while unclean animals do not meet these criteria.
Where was Daniel imprisoned in the bible?
There are more than one Daniel in the Bible, but the name 'Daniel' is almost always associated with the Book of Daniel, which describes Daniel as a young boy when taken into exile by the Babylonians. He would have been born shortly before 600 BCE. No other book in the Old Testament mentions this Daniel, although Ezekiel does mention a near-contemporary also called Daniel. However, Ezekiel's Daniel must have been a little earlier that the hero of the Book of Daniel.
The Book of Daniel speaks of Daniel in the third person, thus the author was not Daniel himself. In fact, there is good reason to doubt whether Daniel was a real, historical person. The book appears to have been written approximately 147 BCE to describe events occurring hundreds of years earlier, and its hero might have been inspired by the Daniel in the Book of Ezekiel. Historical errors in the Book of Daniel make its evidence unreliable.

Was Ruth of the bible a moabite priestess?
If she ever was, there is no mention of it at all in the Bible. Chemosh
was a god in the land of the Moabites
this idol was not mentioned in the Book of Ruth. The Bible tells us that the Moabite
women were sent to seduce the Israelites men away from the God of Israel, for this reason the Moabites
were considered .
Numbers 25 - Israel's Sin with Moab
iii. "The sword of no stranger, the curse of no stranger had the power to damage Israel. Only it itself could bring misfortune, by seceding from God and his Law." (Rabbi Hirsch,
cited in Allen).
iv. "The Moabites
being now neighbours to the Israelites, and finding themselves unable to effect
their design against Israel by war and witchcraft, they now fell another way to work." (Poole) In the same way, Satan's violence and sorcery can have no lasting influence on the believer; but if he can lead us into sin, we can be destroyed.

Another answer
Yes. In Judges 9:23 " Then God sent an evil spiritbetween Abimelech and the men of Shecem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech".
In the Bible, Ezra's father is Seraiah. Ezra is described as a priest and scribe who played a significant role in the restoration of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.
What is King Solomon known for?
The Bible tells us that King Solomon embarked on a program of public building, including the first Jerusalem Temple, a palace in Jerusalem and many magnificent buildings throughout Israel.
Until recently, when archaeologists found remains that fitted the biblical narrative, such as the casement walls or 'stables' at Megiddo, they automatically assigned them to the Solomonic period. In just the last few years, some archaeologists have begun to question those assignments because they are anomalous when compared to similar finds elsewhere in the ancient Near East. Some archaeologists now attribute the prosperous and expansive 'Solomonic' era to the time of Kings Omri and Ahab.
Based on the latest archaeological research, it may be hard to find any evidence from the time of Solomon. If this is confirmed, Solomon can be considered a minor local chieftain, who accomplished nothing of lasting value.

How many Hebrew slaves remained in Egypt during the Exodus?

What does it mean in the Old Testament if somebody is anointed with oil?

Why did 10 of 12 tribes break away?
Rehoboam's father, King Solomon, had levied relatively heavy taxes, which had been used for such large-scale endeavors as building the First Temple. The fact that the nation was so prosperous and happy in his time (1 Kings 4:20) demonstrates that Solomon conducted his governance in a praiseworthy manner.
After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. He ignored the counsel of his elder advisers and refused the people's request. This led the Ten Tribes to turn away from him (1 Kings ch.12).
The background reason was because King Solomon had been less than perfectly righteous. This led God to punish him by diminishing his dynasty in the lifetime of his son (Rehoboam). 1 Kings ch.11. A deeper reason is that God wanted the more righteous people of Judah to be influenced by the Ten Tribes as little as possible.
How did moses come to be raised by pharaohs daughter?
According to the Biblical text, she didn't know.
Another perspective:Exodus 2:5, 6 - Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children." [NKJV]Two strong possibilities come to mind. One: the king of Egypt had ordered that all male Hebrew children be killed (Exodus 1:16), and this child had apparently been hidden/abandoned. There would be no reason for an Egyptian male child to be hidden among the reeds of a riverbank. Two: discernible differences in the physical characteristics of Egyptians and Hebrews.
Where did Cain's wife come from in the bible?
Gen:5:4: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters,but only three are mentioned by name--Cain,Abel,and Seth.In short,Cain married his sister just as later Abraham married his half- sister, Sarah. Such practices were common in those days.
Gen:20:2: And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Gen:20:12: And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
It was not forbidden until the time of Moses.
Lev:18:9: The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

Who were the audience for the Book of Joshua?
The Book of Joshua is part of the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings), which forms a well integrated series written during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah, by an anonymous author now known as the 'Deuteronomist'. Josiah was undertaking a number of far-reaching religious reforms, the most notable of which seems to have been the introduction of monotheistic Judaism as the official religion of Judah.
The Book of Joshua was no doubt based on earlier oral and perhaps written traditions, but its intended audience was the Jews of the seventh century BCE.
Is the Old Testament in the Quran?

How was delilah looked upon by her people?
DELILAH
(De·li′lah) [possibly, Dangling].
A woman living in the torrent valley of Sorek. Delilah is introduced into the Bible account toward the final part of Samson's 20-year judgeship as the object of his love.-Jg 16:31.
The axis lords of the Philistines, anxious to destroy Samson, each offered Delilah 1,100 pieces of silver (if shekels, $2,422) to find out for them wherein Samson's great power lay. She cooperated by questioning Samson as to what would render him powerless. Each time Samson answered, she notified the Philistines and hid in her house Philistine warriors who were ready to take advantage of Samson in the event he lost his strength. After three misleading answers by Samson, Delilah continued to pester him and "pressured him with her words all the time and kept urging him, [so that] his soul got to be impatient to the point of dying." Then he told her of his Naziriteship and that no razor had ever touched his head. Certain of having the truth this time, she sent for the Philistine axis lords, and they came to bring her the money. While Samson slept upon her knees, an attendant cut off the seven braids of his hair. Upon awakening, Samson found that this time his divinely provided power was not there. The hiding Philistines grabbed hold of him, blinded him, and took him prisoner. (Jg 16:4-21) Delilah is mentioned no more in the Bible account.
The Bible does not say that sexual relationship took place between Delilah and Samson or that she was a prostitute. The prostitute mentioned at Judges 16:1, 2 is not the same as Delilah. This prostitute lived at Gaza, whereas Delilah lived in the torrent valley of Sorek. Also, the following evidence indicates Delilah possibly was an Israelitess, not a Philistine: When the axis lords presented their proposal it was based on an extravagant sum of money and not on patriotic sentiment.-Jg 16:5.
