The statement, "Ezekiel mentions Daniel, Noah and Job together as three righteous men of old (as I recall)." is misleading when an attempt is made to use it to date Ezekiel. As I recall, as of 45-50 years ago, it was accepted knowledge that there were three ancient sages of these names to which Ezekiel was referring, and the biblical heroes of that name were at most named after the early ones.
