The Hebrew canon wasn’t finalised until the council of Jamnia, which was in 90to 98 AD and did remove a lot of references that could imply to Jews that Christ was the fulfillment of the prophets.

To: Cronos
What comprised the Hebrew Scriptures was well known long before Yavne (Jamnia) councils 90 and 118 C.E.
Josephus spoke of the 22 books (some books were combined into one book) then accepted as part of the Hebrew canon but excluded apocrypha. (Against Apion,I)

Jesus and the apostles had no doubt as to what was included in the Hebrew Scriptures citing “the Law and the Prophets”, i.e., the entire Hebrew canon as we have it today, sans apocrypha.

Speaking of which, have you found what kings you were referring to in your earlier comment on Bel and the Dragon?

Or when these events supposedly occurred in Daniel's life?

“The second event was when Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den for 6 days for proving to a different king, from a different empire (Babylon), that the priests were frauds AND for killing the dragon whom the Babylonians worshipped.”
