Yehezkiel 28:3

28:3 Look, you are wiser than Daniel; ¹ 

no secret is hidden from you. ² 

Daniel 1:20

1:20 In every matter of wisdom and ³  insight the king asked them about, he found them to be ten times ⁴  better than any of the magicians and astrologers that were in his entire empire.

[28:3]  ¹ sn Or perhaps “Danel” (so TEV), referring to a ruler known from Canaanite legend. See the note on “Daniel” in 14:14. A reference to Danel (preserved in legend at Ugarit, near the northern end of the Phoenician coast) makes more sense here when addressing Tyre than in 14:14.

[28:3]  ² sn The tone here is sarcastic, reflecting the ruler’s view of himself.

[1:20]  ³ tc The MT lacks the conjunction, reading the first word in the phrase as a construct (“wisdom of insight”). While this reading is not impossible, it seems better to follow Theodotion, the Syriac, the Vulgate, and the Sahidic Coptic, all of which have the conjunction.

[1:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “hands.”
