Abstract

219 The title does not again occur in Philo, but it may have arisen by the application of the Platonic idea of man as 'the measure of all things' to Philo's Ideal Man. 1) However the word is to be explained, its connection with Metatron is very probable; the alteration of Metator to the vox my.rtica Metatron may not only have followed a regular pattern, but also have been determined by the Gematria (Metatron = 314 = Shaddai). 2). This connection with Philo further supports the view originally propounded by Friedlander that the Metatron figure came ultimately into Judaism from Philo's Logos. 3) In Friedlander's opinion, it was mediated by an older form of Jewish Gnosticism concerned with the cult of the Egyptian divine Dynamis Horus. But Philo was the ultimate source; the Angel of Exod xxiii 20 who bears the divine name is the x6yoq 0cloq (de migrat. Abraham, 174). 4) If this is so, then we have further striking evidence of the influence of Philonic teaching on Judaism. 5) Leeds M. BLACK HIT �� M � R (Deut.
