Abstract

336 of the differences between the two. More odd still is the failure, in contrast, to give more attention to 2 Sam. 7:13-14 (pp. 163-64), despite the obvious parallels of Son to God and eternal kingdom, as also in 4Q174. It looks some- what as though the earlier version of the chapter (contributed to the de Jonge Festschrift) has been too loosely inserted into the present volume. Most sur- prising is the summary conclusion drawn on p. 173, that "the 'Son of God' text from Qumran suggests that Daniel 7 was understood with reference to a Davidic messiah from an early point." That Collins has something of an idée fixe on the Danielic son of man is confirmed by the last main chapter devoted to this very subject. Here again the argument has some significantly weak points. What the Similitudes of Enoch and 4 Ezra 13 show is that in the second half of the first century CE Daniel 7 was drawn in to speculation regarding redeemer figures. They do not show that Daniel 7 had been so used before. The lack of the characteristic ele- ments ("son of man" phrase and talk of coming in clouds) outside
