Jews have always understood the concepts of ‘prophecy’ and ‘canon’ differently than Christians. There is a hierarchy of descending sanctity: Five Books of Moses first, Prophets second, and Writings (which include Daniel, BTW) third. But it does not end there. Jews believe the Mishnah was inspired, followed the Gemara, and then later works, about which there are still shadows of debate, such as the Zohar or Targum Onkelos.
When Christianity diverged into the New Testament, it was lost to Judaism. That probably took place over a period of time, different places sooner than others, yielding varying versions of the ‘canon’.
Yes, that is why the Sadducees and the Samaritans rejected the Writings and the Prophets in their canon
Also the Ethiopian Jews retain a different canon with the 7 deuterocanonical books
Note -- I'm not aiming to dispute which canon is right for Judaism. That's for Jewish folks to debate and discuss among themselves.
God bless you folks while you do this.
As the Cathechism reiterates
To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ", "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."We Catholics definitely reject the doctrines of many of the groups I've replied to here who say that the Jews are not the chosen people any more.
