The results reveal only two types of references: to Jewish observance of the Mosaic law leading to Antiochic persecution and those to the Torah and the covenant in Daniel 9. The article indicates that the references in Daniel 9 are probably secondary interpolations. This leads to the question: Why are those traditions and themes that are important to the Pentateuch not important to the writer of the book of Daniel. A theory that would explain the lack of Pentateuch traditions is suggested.AfrikaansReformed Theological College, Faculty of Theology, University of PretoriaDaniel 9PentateuchThemes, motivesBible -- O.T. -- Daniel IX -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.Bible and traditionArticle
