Abstract

Pentateuch traditions and themes in DanielIn this article a survey is done of traditions and themes from the Pentateuch traditions in the book of Daniel. The results reveal only two types of references: to Jewish observance of the Mosaic law leading to Antiochic persecution and those to the Torah and the covenant in Daniel 9. The article indicates that the references in Daniel 9 are probably secondary interpolations. This leads to the question: Why are those traditions and themes that are important to the Pentateuch not important to the writer of the book of Daniel. A theory that would explain the lack of Pentateuch traditions is suggested.

Summary

Introduction

Brueggemann (2003:16) meen om van Moses as “outeur” van die Pentateug te praat, nie die moderne betekenis het as dat Moses verantwoordelik sou gewees het om die eerste vyf boeke op skrif te gestel het nie, maar dui eerder aan “that Moses is the normative character and teacher who vouches for the authority of the corpus of the Torah”. Moses word ook deur die res van die literêre tradisies wat in die Bybel voorkom hoog aangeslaan, en dit dui aan “that the literature claims the unrivaled authority of this character in the tradition”. Pentateugtradisies en -temas soos land- en nageslagbelofte, uittog en intog, verbond en wet kom dan ook byna konsekwent in die res van die kanon voor.
