33
무릇 이와 같은 것을 만드는 자나 무릇 이것을 타인에게 붓는 자는 그 백성중에서 끊쳐지리라 하라
17
누구든지 그 자매 곧 아비의 딸이나 어미의 딸을 취하여 그 여자의 하체를 보고 여자는 그 남자의 하체를 보면 부끄러운 일이라 그 민족 앞에서 그들이 끊어질지니 그가 그 자매의 하체를 범하였은즉 그 죄를 당하리라
Napsal(a) Todd Beiswenger

Identity issues are popular topic in the world today, and in this story Daniel has to choose his identity: is he a Jew or is he Babylonian? He was born Jewish, but the Babylonians were trying to convert him to to one of them, and despite being offered a better life as a Babylonian he chose to stay with the identitiy that God gave him. It wasn't an easy choice, but in the end it actually worked out better for him. The same can be true for us. When we live the way God says we should, our true identity will shine brighter than anything the world can give us.
