Best Answer

While I do not know of a passage of scripture that specifically states that Daniel was a eunuch, there is strong evidence to believe so. The prophesy of Isaiah concerning the fall to Babylon, chapter 39, vs. 7 in particular, speaks of the young men of Judah being taken away and made "eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon." This prophecy took place during the younger years of Daniel's life. Daniel chapter 1, verses 1 and following, state that Daniel was among those brought to Babylon; vs. 6 in particular. Also, we see that Daniel was placed under the charge of Ashpenaz, master of the eunuchs. The fact that Daniel rose to such a high position of authority in the kingdoms of Nebuchadnezzar and Darius, almost certainly confirms that Daniel was made a eunuch, which was common practice in those days to prevent any offspring being born to anyone who might challenge the throne.

Did Daniel of the Bible have children?

A:The Bible briefly mentions more than one Daniel, but the Daniel in question is only mentioned in the Book of Daniel, which does not mention him as having children. Biblical scholars, for example Leonard J Greenspoon (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Between Alexandria and Antioch: Jews and Judaism in the Hellenistic Period), say that the Book of Daniel is an early Jewish novel, so the question can only be answered from the book itself. Additional Answer:There is no Scripture stating Daniel had married and had a child(ren). Indeed, it is strongly inferred that Daniel was made a eunuch - unable to have children - not only in the Book of Daniel but also in 2 Kings and Isaiah.This also seems conclusive in that Daniel was not originally placed in the Prophets section of the Hebrew text but in the Writings - considered a lesser in degree of importance. A eunuch was looked down upon by the Jews.
