The studies span the Danielic tales and apocalypses, offering innovative analyses that often challenge the scholarly consensus regarding the exegesis of this book. The eight chapters relate to Daniel 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, Susanna, and the conception of angelology in Daniel. The studies are all based on careful textual analysis, including comparison between the Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek versions (especially regarding Daniel 4?6), and, in each case, the larger arguments are built upon solid philological foundations. Many of the insights proposed in this volume are based upon the realization that the authors of Daniel were frequently interpreters of earlier biblical books, and that the identification of these intertextual clues can be the key to unlocking the meaning of these texts. In this sense, Daniel is similar to other contemporaneous works, such as Jubilees and Qumran literature, but the extent of this phenomenon has not been fully appreciated by scholars of the book. This volume therefore contributes to the appreciation of Daniel as both the latest book in the Hebrew Bible, and a significant work in the landscape of Second Temple Judaism. 410 0$aBeihefte zur Zeitschrift fu?r die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ;$vBand 455. 606 $aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament$2bisacsh 610 $aDaniel. 610 $abible. 610 $aexegesis. 610 $atext. 615 7$aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament. 676 $a224/.506 700 $aSegal$b Michael$f1972-$0915941 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814899403321 996 $aDreams, riddles, and visions$93958940 997 $aUNINA
