Please look at the text. Ezek mentions Noah, Danel (not Daniel) and Job. They are three famous righteous men of the larger cultural world. Perhaps the reference to Danel has something to do with the hero of Ugaritic epic. In any case, dating Ezek by the reference to Danel to the Maccabean era is absurd, by my lights. Al Baumgarten
