contestedgraph path

Claim: Ezekiel's Danel is treated as a separate traditional righteous figure rather than merged with the exilic prophet.

Basis: Ezekiel 14:14 names Danel alongside Noah and Job, so this site keeps the person distinct unless the text explicitly identifies him with the exilic prophet.
