As I indicated in post #5, the writers of the christian Per-Versions are perfectly happy to take our word for what passages are implied questions even without explicit interrogatives in the Hebrew text, except where it suits them for such passages not to be questions.

The truth is that there is nothing explicit to indicate the interrogative in either the Daniyyél verse (which is Y'hezkél 28:3, not v.2) or in the Gan Éden verse (28:13). But this is not unusual; for example, we find in 11:13 (also of Y'hezkél):

If you are speaking of the 1917 JPS which is available all over the internet this is nothing more than a lightly "re-worked" KJV / RSV. Ignore it by all means as it is NOT a Jewish translation.

The original JPS Tanach, published in 1917 and found all over the internet because the copyright is over is nothing more than a slightly modified KJV / RSV. Xians love to quote from it as a "Jewish source" not realizing that it is really no such thing.

In my Stone Edition Tanach, concerning the king of Tyre, starting at 28:2 it reads Are you wiser than Daniel?
in 28:13 it asks Were you in Eden, the garden of G-d..........? it is phrased as questions to the King of Tyre. I know this throws Xtians because in their Xtian version the verses read not as questions but as statements ( You were in Eden, you are wiser than Daniel, etc.) And they think it is somehow speaking of Satan. We know this is non-sense, but I also have a copy of The...
