Description
Deutsch: Der Perserkönig Kyros fragt den jüdischen Propheten Daniel, warum er nicht auch das Kultbild des Gottes Bel verehre. Daniel antwortete, er huldige nur dem lebendigen Gott, nicht einer von Menschen gemachten Skulptur aus Bronze und Lehm. Als Kyros den täglichen Verbrauch der Opfergaben als Beweis einwendet, werden die Türen des Tempels nach Einbringung der Opfergaben versiegelt. Die Priester Bels aber holten sich die Opfergaben in der Nacht über einen geheimen Zugang. Daniel hatte vor der Versiegelung im Beisein des Königs den Tempelfußboden mit Asche bestreuen lassen, in der sich die Fußspuren der Betrüger abzeichneten, die mit dem Tode bestraft wurden. Der Prophet Daniel aber darf mit königlicher Erlaubnis das Heiligtum zerstören lassen (StzuDan 2,1–21).

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

The author died in 1669, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
