Yehezkiel 14:14
Konteks14:14 Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, 1 and Job, were in it, they would save only their own lives by their righteousness, declares the sovereign Lord.
Daniel 2:25
Konteks2:25 So Arioch quickly ushered Daniel into the king’s presence, saying to him, “I 2 have found a man from the captives of Judah who can make known the interpretation to the king.”


[14:14] 1 sn Traditionally this has been understood as a reference to the biblical Daniel, though he was still quite young when Ezekiel prophesied. One wonders if he had developed a reputation as an intercessor by this point. For this reason some prefer to see a reference to a ruler named Danel, known in Canaanite legend for his justice and wisdom. In this case all three of the individuals named would be non-Israelites, however the Ugaritic Danel is not known to have qualities of faith in the Lord that would place him in the company of the other men. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:447-50.
[2:25] 2 sn Arioch’s claim is self-serving and exaggerated. It is Daniel who came to him, and not the other way around. By claiming to have found one capable of solving the king’s dilemma, Arioch probably hoped to ingratiate himself to the king.
