THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG A NEW PROPOSAL FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE "PRAYER OF NABONIDUS" AND THE "BOOK OF DANIEL"

| Итог: | Scholars have generally viewed the Prayer of Nabonidus (4Q242, 4QPr-Nab ar) to be an earlier version of the tradition that lies behind Dan 4, the account of Nebuchadnezzar's madness. This paper proposes that scholars have ignored or overlooked strong internal evidence that the Prayer of Nabonidus is probably a composition based upon Dan 4. This internal evidence includes apparent borrowing of language not only from Dan 4, but also from Dan 2, 3 and 5 as well as attempted theological corrections of Daniel toward a strict monotheism. It is likely, therefore, that the Prayer is actually the composition of a Palestinian Jew who was attempting to fill in the historical gap between the reign of Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 4) and the fall of Babylon to the Persians (Dan 5). Les érudits ont généralement regardé la Prière de Nabonide (4Q242, 4QPrNab ar) comme une version plus ancienne de la tradition qui se trouve derrière Dan 4, la narration de la folie de Nabuchodonosor. Cet article propose que les érudits ont ignoré ou négligé une évidence interne en faveur de la priorité de Dan 4. Cette évidence interne inclut l'emprunt apparent de la langue non seulement de Dan 4, mais également de Dan 2, 3 et 5, aussi bien que des corrections théologiques de Daniel vers un monothéisme strict. Il est probable, donc, que la Prière soit réellement la composition d'un juif palestinien qui essayait de combler la lacune historique entre le règne de Nabuchodonosor (Dan 4) et la chute de Babylone devant les Perses (Dan 5). |
