Answer Details
Those who made a false report about Daniel were cast into the Lion's den in the end. The false report was made because of their jealousy towards Daniel and his position in the government.

Daniel disobeyed the decree and continued to pray to God. As a result, he was thrown into the Lion's den. However, God protected him and he was unharmed. The ones who made the false report were then thrown into the Lion's den themselves, and were killed by the lions. This showed that God is a just God who protects those who are faithful to Him and punishes those who seek to harm His people.

Who among the following carried out a religious reform in Judah
Answer Details
The person who carried out a religious reform in Judah was Josiah. He was one of the kings of Judah who reigned in the late 7th century BCE. During his reign, he initiated religious reforms that aimed at restoring the worship of Yahweh as the sole God of the Israelites. He removed all the foreign gods and their symbols from the temple in Jerusalem and prohibited the worship of them. He also destroyed the shrines and altars of other gods in the cities of Judah. This religious reform was based on the rediscovery of the book of the law during the repair of the temple, which had been neglected for a long time. The book was believed to be the law given to Moses by God. Josiah's religious reforms were significant in shaping the religious practices and beliefs of the Israelites in Judah.

Once a person was suspected of having leprosy, he or she would be examined by the priest who would declare them "unclean."
