Those three men, Noah, DANEL, and Job

[tonychanyt]

Good News Translation, Ez 14:

14 Even if those three men, Noah, Danel [דָּנִאֵל], and Job, were living there, their goodness would save only their own lives." The Sovereign LORD has spoken.

English Standard Version:

even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it.

Was it Danel or Daniel?
The usual spelling for Daniel was דָּנִיֵּ֣אל (Da 1:6).
A variant spelling was דָּנִאֵל.
GNT decided to translate the Hebrew spelling דָּנִאֵל as Danel while ESV translated it to Daniel.

 

[okay]

I am currently reading Ezekiel in the Jewish Study Bible. Their notes indicate that in Ezekiel, Danel is spelled according to the Canaanite pattern, and they think it probably refers to Dan-El in the Canaanite legend of Aquat that we know about from Ugaritic tablets. In the legend he saves his son from death. Likewise Noah saves his family and Job saves his friends (see Job 42). All three are non-Israelites who were viewed as righteous.
