Editing Habakkuk (section)

===Tradition===
A reference to "the prophet Habakkuk" appears in [[Bel and the Dragon]],<ref>Daniel 14:33 in the [[Jerusalem Bible]] (1966)</ref> which is part of the [[deuterocanonical]] [[Additions to Daniel]]. Verses 33–39 place Habakkuk in [[Judea]]; after making some stew, he is instructed by an [[angel of the Lord]] to take the stew to Daniel, who is in the lion's den in [[Babylon]]. After Habakkuk proclaims that he is unaware of either the den or Babylon, the angel transports Habakkuk to the lion's den. Habakkuk gives Daniel the food to sustain him, and he is immediately taken back to "his place" or "his own country".<ref>Daniel 14:39 in the Jerusalem Bible (1966)</ref>

Habakkuk is also mentioned in the ''[[Lives of the Prophets]]'', which also mentions his time in Babylon.{{sfnp|Coogan|2009|p=298}}

According to the [[Zohar]] (Volume 1, page 8b),{{clarify|date=October 2022}} Habakkuk is the boy born to the Shunamite woman through [[Elisha]]'s blessing:
