draws
on the
prophetic commissioning of
Ezekiel/Yechezkel's tour of the heavenly temple in chapters 40-44.

It is perhaps only somewhat less apparent that the author of Dani'el 7, in turn,
is drawing on this chapter in 1 Enoch and developing it further in accord with his own theological traditions
and further in accord with his own theological traditions and other apolyptic sources
that include the vision of the second throne
& the second divine person.

Whatever the precise case on the genetic relationship,
it is clear that the author of the Similitudes, who clearly derives his Son of Man figure from Daniel 7,
could easily have identified the one like a son of man from Daniel with Enoch as described in Enoch 14.

Both arrive with clouds; both are brought near the Ancient of Days by one of the angels; both include the description
of the throne as having before it streams of blazing fire and of his person as wearing garments whiter than snow. The two texts are thus almost certainly related, with the most likely scenario invoking dependence of Daniel on the most ancient part of 1 Enoch,
the Book of the Watchers.

OK!
