Ezekiel 28:3

28:3 Look, you are wiser than Daniel;

no secret is hidden from you.


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.

sn The tone here is sarcastic, reflecting the ruler’s view of himself.
