Daniel 6

The Daniel in the Lions’ Den Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Easy · Ends on Daniel 6:22

A decree that no man may pray, a window that stays open toward Jerusalem anyway, and a den sealed with a stone and the king's own signet — Daniel 6 is a story about quiet, unshowy courage, and it makes a satisfying grid. Every clue in Daniel in the Lions' Den comes from the chapter: the presidents and princes who set the trap, the king who could not sleep, the angel who shut the lions' mouths.

It's one of the gentler puzzles in the archive, which makes it a good place to start if Bible crosswords are new to you. The closing verse is Daniel's own answer, called up out of the den at dawn.
