One should note that the consonantal text allows us to pronounce this name as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dan&#8217;el.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the Ugaritic Epic of Aqhat, there is a righteous judge named <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dan\u2019el<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These three figures, then, are three legendary righteous men, none belonging to the people of Israel. Job\u2019s presence among the three reflects the fact that a story about a righteous man named Job was current in the region well before the composition of the Book of Job. The non-Israelite identity of the three is in keeping with the generalizing force of the declaration, \u201cwhen a land offends against Me,\u201d which is to say, any land.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, <em>The Hebrew Bible<\/em>, vol. 2: Prophets, W.
