Abstract

The story of Susanna was created as an addition to Dan 1 in order to give an explanation of serious exegetical problems in Dan 1:1-2 and Dan 1:3ss. The point of departure of the midrash was the identification of Susanna’s husband with king Jehoiakim of Dan 1 and of the four children of Susanna and Jehoiakim /Sus 30LXX) with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.

To a far greater degree than was hitherto supposed the form and contents of Susanna can be connected with elements of the passage Jeremiah 29:21-23, part of Jeremiah’s letter to the Judean exiles in Babylon.
