I have seen this before, but I have alway seen it handled with two different verses assigned to it. In the Jerusalem Bible that I have the latter parts of Daniel 3 are number 24/91, 25/92... but that wouldn't exactly be satisfactory, because that's just acknowledging that in the English Protestant verses it is verse 24 but in the LXX/Catholic version it is 91. > > In Unbound Bible I've "solved" this by chopping Prayer of Azariah out of > Daniel and putting it in its own "book".
