"Thus saith the LORD: Refrain thy voice from weeping, And thine eyes from tears; For thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.", 31.17. "And there is hope for thy future, saith the LORD; And thy children shall return to their own border.", 39.15.

"But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.", 39.18. "For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee; because thou hast put thy trust in Me, saith the LORD.’", 48.29. "We have heard of the pride of Moab; He is very proud; His loftiness, and his pride, and his haughtiness, And the assumption of his heart.", 48.30. "I know his arrogancy, saith the LORD, That it is ill-founded; His boastings have wrought nothing well-founded.", 49.36. "And I will bring against Elam the four winds From the four quarters of heaven, And will scatter them toward all those winds; And there shall be no nation whither the dispersed of Elam shall not come.", 52.7. "Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden—now the Chaldeans were against the city round about—and they went by the way of the Arabah.", 52.12. "Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem;", 52.13. "and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.", 52.14.

We are now praying for you here." 1.7. In the reign of Demetrius, in the one hundred and sixty-ninth year, we Jews wrote to you, in the critical distress which came upon us in those years after Jason and his company revolted from the holy land and the kingdom' 1.8. and burned the gate and shed innocent blood. We besought the Lord and we were heard, and we offered sacrifice and cereal offering, and we lighted the lamps and we set out the loaves.' 1.9.

When this was done and some time had passed and the sun, which had been clouded over, shone out, a great fire blazed up, so that all marveled.' 2.4. It was also in the writing that the prophet, having received an oracle, ordered that the tent and the ark should follow with him, and that he went out to the mountain where Moses had gone up and had seen the inheritance of God.' 2.5. And Jeremiah came and found a cave, and he brought there the tent and the ark and the altar of incense, and he sealed up the entrance.' 2.6. Some of those who followed him came up to mark the way, but could not find it.' 2.7. When Jeremiah learned of it, he rebuked them and declared: 'The place shall be unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows his mercy.' 2.8. And then the Lord will disclose these things, and the glory of the Lord and the cloud will appear, as they were shown in the case of Moses, and as Solomon asked that the place should be specially consecrated.' 10.25. As he drew near, Maccabeus and his men sprinkled dust upon their heads and girded their loins with sackcloth, in supplication to God.' 14.15. When the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming and the gathering of the Gentiles, they sprinkled dust upon their heads and prayed to him who established his own people for ever and always upholds his own heritage by manifesting himself.' |

Do not punish us for the defilement committed by these men, or call us to account for this profanation, lest the transgressors boast in their wrath or exult in the arrogance of their tongue, saying, 6.4. Pharaoh with his abundance of chariots, the former ruler of this Egypt, exalted with lawless insolence and boastful tongue, you destroyed together with his arrogant army by drowning them in the sea, manifesting the light of your mercy upon the nation of Israel. 6.5. Sennacherib exulting in his countless forces, oppressive king of the Assyrians, who had already gained control of the whole world by the spear and was lifted up against your holy city, speaking grievous words with boasting and insolence, you, O Lord, broke in pieces, showing your power to many nations. 6.18.

And all the men and women of Israel, and their children, living at Jerusalem, prostrated themselves before the temple and put ashes on their heads and spread out their sackcloth before the Lord. 4.12. They even surrounded the altar with sackcloth and cried out in unison, praying earnestly to the God of Israel not to give up their infants as prey and their wives as booty, and the cities they had inherited to be destroyed, and the sanctuary to be profaned and desecrated to the malicious joy of the Gentiles. 4.13. So the Lord heard their prayers and looked upon their affliction; for the people fasted many days throughout Judea and in Jerusalem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty. 4.14. And Joakim the high priest and all the priests who stood before the Lord and ministered to the Lord, with their loins girded with sackcloth, offered the continual burnt offerings and the vows and freewill offerings of the people. 4.15. With ashes upon their turbans, they cried out to the Lord with all their might to look with favor upon the whole house of Israel. 5.17. As long as they did not sin against their God they prospered, for the God who hates iniquity is with them. 5.18. But when they departed from the way which he had appointed for them, they were utterly defeated in many battles and were led away captive to a foreign country; the temple of their God was razed to the ground, and their cities were captured by their enemies. 6.17. He answered and told them what had taken place at the council of Holofernes, and all that he had said in the presence of the Assyrian leaders, and all that Holofernes had said so boastfully against the house of Israel. 8.33. Stand at the city gate tonight, and I will go out with my maid; and within the days after which you have promised to surrender the city to our enemies, the Lord will deliver Israel by my hand. 9.1. Then Judith fell upon her face, and put ashes on her head, and uncovered the sackcloth she was wearing; and at the very time when that evening's incense was being offered in the house of God in Jerusalem, Judith cried out to the Lord with a loud voice, and said, 10.13. I am on my way to the presence of Holofernes the commander of your army, to give him a true report; and I will show him a way by which he can go and capture all the hill country without losing one of his men, captured or slain." 14.16. And he cried out with a loud voice and wept and groaned and shouted, and rent his garments. 14.19. When the leaders of the Assyrian army heard this, they rent their tunics and were greatly dismayed, and their loud cries and shouts arose in the midst of the camp. |

Now on the fifteenth day of Chislev, in the one hundred and forty-fifth year, they erected a desolating sacrilege upon the altar of burnt offering. They also built altars in the surrounding cities of Judah, 2.1. In those days Mattathias the son of John, son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, moved from Jerusalem and settled in Modein. 2.7. and said, "Alas! Why was I born to see this,the ruin of my people, the ruin of the holy city,and to dwell there when it was given over to the enemy,the sanctuary given over to aliens? 2.14. And Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned greatly. 3.47. They fasted that day, put on sackcloth and sprinkled ashes on their heads, and rent their clothes. 4.47. Then they took unhewn stones, as the law directs, and built a new altar like the former one. 9.27. Thus there was great distress in Israel, such as had not been since the time that prophets ceased to appear among them. 9.50. Bacchides then returned to Jerusalem and built strong cities in Judea: the fortress in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Beth-horon, and Bethel, and Timnath, and Pharathon, and Tephon, with high walls and gates and bars. 9.51. And he placed garrisons in them to harass Israel. 9.52. He also fortified the city of Beth-zur, and Gazara, and the citadel, and in them he put troops and stores of food. 9.53.

There is also another expression in the Psalms, such as this, "The course of the river makes glad the city of God." What city? For the holy city, which exists at present, in which also the holy temple is established, at a great distance from any sea or river, so that it is clear, that the writer here means, figuratively, to speak of some other city than the visible city of God. 2.250. But that which is called by the Hebrews the city of God is Jerusalem, which name being interpreted means, "the sight of peace." So they do not look for the city of the living God in the region of the earth, for it is not made of wood or of stone, but seek it in the soul which is free from war, and which proposes to those who are endowed with acuteness of sight a contemplative and peaceful life; |

Who then can be likened to them rather than he who prayed what is called the great prayer? "For if," says Moses, "any one dies in his presence suddenly, then immediately the head of his vow shall be polluted and he shall be Shaved;" and then after saying a few more sentences he thus proceeds, "And the former days shall not be taken into the computation, because the head of his vow was polluted." |

At the same time, also, this doctrine of exceeding wisdom is introduced, that the Lord God is the only real citizen, and that every created being is but a stranger and a sojourner. But those who are called citizens are called so rather in consequence of a slight misapplication of the name than in strict truth. And it is a sufficient gift to wise men--if considered comparatively with the only true citizen, God--for them to have the rank of strangers and sojourners. With respect to foolish men, of them there is absolutely no one who is a stranger or sojourner in the city of God, but such an one is found to be utterly an exile. And this is implied in what he said besides as a most authoritative doctrine, "The land shall not be utterly sold away." Nor did God add "by whom," in order that from that point being passed over in silence, he who was not wholly uninitiated in natural philosophy, might be benefited in respect of knowledge. 121. Having then now philosophized in this manner about the honour to be paid to parents, he closes the one and more divine table of the first five commandments. And being about to promulgate the second which contains the prohibitions of those offences which are committed against men, he begins with adultery, looking upon this as the greatest of all violations of the law; |

There is a certain extravagance of perfection visible in this disposition. He has Known the man who has vowed the great vow in some instances offending unintentionally, even if not of deliberate purpose; for he says, "But if any one die before him suddenly, he shall be at once polluted." For if of things without deliberation anything coming from without strikes down suddenly, such things do at once pollute the soul, but not with a pollution which remains for any length of time, inasmuch as they are unintentional actions. And about these actions the high priest (standing above them, as he also does above those which are voluntary) is indifferent. |

"And about the setting of the sun a trance fell upon Abraham, and, behold, fear with great darkness fell upon Him." Now there is one kind of trance which is sort of frantic delirium, causing infirmity of mind, either through old age, or melancholy, or some other similar cause. There is another kind which is excessive consternation, arising usually from things which happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Another kind is mere tranquility of the mind, arising when it is inclined by nature to be quiet: but that which is the best description of all is a divinely inspired and more vehement sort of enthusiasm, which the race of prophets is subject to. |

There are many indications, it seems, when a priestess is not performing her holy functions with purity, but the principal one is the extinction of the fire, which the Romans dread above all misfortunes, looking upon it, from whatever cause it proceeds, as an omen that portends the destruction of the city; and they bring fire again into the temple with many supplicatory rites, concerning which I shall speak on the proper occasion. 6.67.2. And proceeding to the sanctuary of Vulcan, where it was custom for the people to hold their assemblies, they first commended them for their alacrity and zeal in attending en masse, and then advised them to wait quietly till the preliminary decree of the senate should be passed; and they exhorted the kinsmen of the seceders to entertain good hopes of getting back in a short time those who were dearest to them. After that they went to the senate-house, where they not only themselves spoke with reasonableness and moderation, but also asked the rest to deliver opinions that were expedient and humane. And ahead of all the others they called upon Menenius, who, rising up, spoke to the same effect as before, exhorting the senate to make the accommodation, and expressed the same opinion, asking that envoys should speedily be sent to the seceders with full powers in regard to the accommodation. |

However, after the Amazons had returned to the continent, the myth relates, the Mother of the Gods, well pleased with the island, settled in it certain other people, and also her own sons, who are known by the name of Corybantes â who their father was is handed down in their rites as a matter not to be divulged; and she established the mysteries which are now celebrated on the island and ordained by law that the sacred area should enjoy the right of sanctuary. 12.60.3. After this they marched upon the city called Molycria and captured it. But the Athenian general, Demosthenes, being concerned lest the Aetolians should reduce by siege Naupactus also, summoned a thousand hoplites from Acaria and sent them to Naupactus. 16.91. 1. When Pythodorus was archon at Athens, the Romans elected as consuls Quintus Publius and Tiberius Aemilius Mamercus, and the one hundred and eleventh celebration of the Olympic Games took place, in which Cleomantis of Cleitor won the foot-race.,2. In this year, King Philip, installed as leader by the Greeks, opened the war with Persia by sending into Asia as an advance party Attalus and Parmenion, assigning to them a part of his forces and ordering them to liberate the Greek cities, while he himself, wanting to enter upon the war with the god's approval, asked the Pythia whether he would conquer the king of the Persians. She gave him the following response: "Wreathed is the bull. All is done. There is also the one who will smite him." ,3. Now Philip found this response ambiguous but accepted it in a sense favourable to himself, namely that the oracle foretold that the Persian would be slaughtered like a sacrificial victim. Actually, however, it was not so, and it meant that Philip himself in the midst of a festival and holy sacrifices, like the bull, would be stabbed to death while decked with a garland.,4. In any event, he thought that the gods supported him and was very happy to think that Asia would be made captive under the hands of the Macedonians. Straightway he set in motion plans for gorgeous sacrifices to the gods joined with the wedding of his daughter Cleopatra, whose mother was Olympias; he had given her in marriage to Alexander king of Epirus, Olympias' own brother.,5. He wanted as many Greeks as possible to take part in the festivities in honour of the gods, and so planned brilliant musical contests and lavish banquets for his friends and guests.,6. Out of all Greece he summoned his personal guest-friends and ordered the members of his court to bring along as many as they could of their acquaintances from abroad. He was determined to show himself to the Greeks as an amiable person and to respond to the honours conferred when he was appointed to the supreme command with appropriate entertainment. |

There is about the middle of the city, a wall of stone, the length of which is five hundred feet, and the breadth a hundred cubits, with double cloisters; wherein there is a square altar, not made of hewn stone, but composed of white stones gathered together, having each side twenty cubits long, and its altitude ten cubits. Hard by it is a large edifice, wherein there is an altar and a candlestick, both of gold, and in weight two talents; 1.204. and as the augur and some others were very angry, and wished imprecations upon him, he answered them thus:—Why are you so mad as to take this most unhappy bird into your hands? for how can this bird give us any true information concerning our march, which could not foresee how to save himself? for had he been able to foreknow what was future, he would not have come to this place, but would have been afraid lest Mosollam the Jew would shoot at him, and kill him.” 2.168. I do not now explain how these notions of God are the sentiments of the wisest among the Grecians, and how they were taught them upon the principles that he afforded them. However, they testify, with great assurance, that these notions are just, and agreeable to the nature of God, and to his majesty; for Pythagoras, and Anaxagoras, and Plato, and the Stoic philosophers that succeeded them, and almost all the rest, are of the same sentiments, and had the same notions of the nature of God; 2.186. which priests our legislator, at their first appointment, did not advance to that dignity for their riches, or any abundance of other possessions, or any plenty they had as the gifts of fortune; but he intrusted the principal management of divine worship to those that exceeded others in an ability to persuade men, and in prudence of conduct. 2.188. 23. What form of government then can be more holy than this! what more worthy kind of worship can be paid to God than we pay, where the entire body of the people are prepared for religion, where an extraordinary degree of care is required in the priests, and where the whole polity is so ordered as if it were a certain religious solemnity! 2.189. For what things foreigners, when they solemnize such festivals, are not able to observe for a few days’ time, and call them Mysteries and Sacred Ceremonies, we observe with great pleasure and an unshaken resolution during our whole lives. 2.193. 24. There ought also to be but one temple for one God; for likeness is the constant foundation of agreement. This temple ought to be common to all men, because he is the common God of all men. His priests are to be continually about his worship, over whom he that is the first by his birth is to be their ruler perpetually. 2.194. His business must be to offer sacrifices to God, together with those priests that are joined with him, to see that the laws be observed, to determine controversies, and to punish those that are convicted of injustice; while he that does not submit to him shall be subject to the same punishment, as if he had been guilty of impiety towards God himself. 2.218. but every good man hath his own conscience bearing witness to himself, and by virtue of our legislator’s prophetic spirit, and of the firm security God himself affords such a one, he believes that God hath made this grant to those that observe these laws, even though they be obliged readily to die for them, that they shall come into being again, and at a certain revolution of things shall receive a better life than they had enjoyed before. |

Now he that first of all ventured to get over the wall, was Faustus Cornelius the son of Sylla; and next after him were two centurions, Furius and Fabius; and every one of these was followed by a cohort of his own, who encompassed the Jews on all sides, and slew them, some of them as they were running for shelter to the temple, and others as they, for a while, fought in their own defense. 1.328. 3. Now when Herod was at Daphne, by Antioch, he had some dreams which clearly foreboded his brother’s death; and as he leaped out of his bed in a disturbed manner, there came messengers that acquainted him with that calamity. So when he had lamented this misfortune for a while, he put off the main part of his mourning, and made haste to march against his enemies; 1.331. 4. After this he marched through Jericho, as making what haste he could to be avenged on his brother’s murderers; where happened to him a providential sign, out of which, when he had unexpectedly escaped, he had the reputation of being very dear to God; for that evening there feasted with him many of the principal men; and after that feast was over, and all the guests were gone out, the house fell down immediately. 1.377. do not you disturb yourselves at the quaking of iimate creatures, nor do you imagine that this earthquake is a sign of another calamity; for such affections of the elements are according to the course of nature, nor does it import anything further to men, than what mischief it does immediately of itself. Perhaps there may come some short sign beforehand in the case of pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes; but these calamities themselves have their force limited by themselves [without foreboding any other calamity]. And indeed what greater mischief can the war, though it should be a violent one, do to us than the earthquake hath done? 1.619. And as Antipater was so confounded, that he was able to make no answer to this charge, he went away; but his mother and wife came to him, and told him of all the evidence they had gotten against him. Hereupon he recollected himself, and considered what defense he should make against the accusations. 1.650. for it was unlawful there should be any such thing in the temple as images, or faces, or the like representation of any animal whatsoever. Now the king had put up a golden eagle over the great gate of the temple, which these learned men exhorted them to cut down; and told them, that if there should any danger arise, it was a glorious thing to die for the laws of their country; because that the soul was immortal, and that an eternal enjoyment of happiness did await such as died on that account; while the mean-spirited, and those that were not wise enough to show a right love of their souls, preferred death by a disease, before that which is the result of a virtuous behavior. 1.651. 3. At the same time that these men made this speech to their disciples, a rumor was spread abroad that the king was dying, which made the young men set about the work with greater boldness; they therefore let themselves down from the top of the temple with thick cords, and this at midday, and while a great number of people were in the temple, and cut down that golden eagle with axes. 1.652. This was presently told to the king’s captain of the temple, who came running with a great body of soldiers, and caught about forty of the young men, and brought them to the king. 2.114. 4. I cannot also but think it worthy to be recorded what dream Glaphyra, the daughter of Archelaus, king of Cappadocia, had, who had at first been wife to Alexander, who was the brother of Archelaus, concerning whom we have been discoursing. This Alexander was the son of Herod the king, by whom he was put to death, as we have already related. 2.159. 12. There are also those among them who undertake to foretell things to come, by reading the holy books, and using several sorts of purifications, and being perpetually conversant in the discourses of the prophets; and it is but seldom that they miss in their predictions. 2.162. 14. But then as to the two other orders at first mentioned: the Pharisees are those who are esteemed most skillful in the exact explication of their laws, and introduce the first sect. These ascribe all to fate [or providence], and to God, 2.163. and yet allow, that to act what is right, or the contrary, is principally in the power of men, although fate does cooperate in every action. They say that all souls are incorruptible, but that the souls of good men only are removed into other bodies,—but that the souls of bad men are subject to eternal punishment. 2.316. at which the men of power were affrighted, together with the high priests, and rent their garments, and fell down before each of them, and besought them to leave off, and not to provoke Florus to some incurable procedure, besides what they had already suffered. 2.650. There were also such omens observed as were understood to be forerunners of evils by such as loved peace, but were by those that kindled the war interpreted so as to suit their own inclinations; and the very state of the city, even before the Romans came against it, was that of a place doomed to destruction. 3.142. Now these workmen accomplished what they were about in four days’ time, and opened a broad way for the army. On the fifth day, which was the twenty-first of the month Artemisius (Jyar), Josephus prevented him, and came from Tiberias, and went into Jotapata, and raised the drooping spirits of the Jews. 3.171. 10. And when the bank was now raised, and brought nearer than ever to the battlements that belonged to the walls, Josephus thought it would be entirely wrong in him if he could make no contrivances in opposition to theirs, and that might be for the city’s preservation; so he got together his workmen, and ordered them to build the wall higher; 3.172. and while they said that this was impossible to be done while so many darts were thrown at them, he invented this sort of cover for them: 3.173. He bid them fix piles, and expand before them the raw hides of oxen newly killed, that these hides by yielding and hollowing themselves when the stones were thrown at them might receive them, for that the other darts would slide off them, and the fire that was thrown would be quenched by the moisture that was in them. And these he set before the workmen, 3.174. and under them these workmen went on with their works in safety, and raised the wall higher, and that both by day and by night, till it was twenty cubits high. He also built a good number of towers upon the wall, and fitted it to strong battlements. 3.175. This greatly discouraged the Romans, who in their own opinions were already gotten within the walls, while they were now at once astonished at Josephus’s contrivance, and at the fortitude of the citizens that were in the city. 3.186. 13. Hereupon Vespasian hoped that their receptacles of water would in no long time be emptied, and that they would be forced to deliver up the city to him; 3.187. but Josephus being minded to break such his hope, gave command that they should wet a great many of their clothes, and hang them out about the battlements, till the entire wall was of a sudden all wet with the running down of the water. 3.188. At this sight the Romans were discouraged, and under consternation, when they saw them able to throw away in sport so much water, when they supposed them not to have enough to drink themselves. This made the Roman general despair of taking the city by their want of necessaries, and to betake himself again to arms, and to try to force them to surrender, 3.271. 28. Then did Josephus take necessity for his counselor in this utmost distress (which necessity is very sagacious in invention when it is irritated by despair), and gave orders to pour scalding oil upon those whose shields protected them. 3.272. Whereupon they soon got it ready, being many that brought it, and what they brought being a great quantity also, and poured it on all sides upon the Romans, and threw down upon them their vessels as they were still hissing from the heat of the fire: 3.273. this so burnt the Romans, that it dispersed that united band, who now tumbled down from the wall with horrid pains, 3.274. for the oil did easily run down the whole body from head to foot, under their entire armor, and fed upon their flesh like flame itself, its fat and unctuous nature rendering it soon heated and slowly cooled; 3.275. and as the men were cooped up in their headpieces and breastplates, they could no way get free from this burning oil; they could only leap and roll about in their pains, as they fell down from the bridges they had laid. And as they thus were beaten back, and retired to their own party, who still pressed them forward, they were easily wounded by those that were behind them. 3.352. Now Josephus was able to give shrewd conjectures about the interpretation of such dreams as have been ambiguously delivered by God. Moreover, he was not unacquainted with the prophecies contained in the sacred books, as being a priest himself, and of the posterity of priests: 3.353. and just then was he in an ecstasy; and setting before him the tremendous images of the dreams he had lately had, he put up a secret prayer to God, 3.354. and said, “Since it pleaseth thee, who hast created the Jewish nation, to depress the same, and since all their good fortune is gone over to the Romans, and since thou hast made choice of this soul of mine to foretell what is to come to pass hereafter, I willingly give them my hands, and am content to live. And I protest openly that I do not go over to the Romans as a deserter of the Jews, but as a minister from thee.” 3.374. Do not you know that those who depart out of this life, according to the law of nature, and pay that debt which was received from God, when he that lent it us is pleased to require it back again, enjoy eternal fame? that their houses and their posterity are sure, that their souls are pure and obedient, and obtain a most holy place in heaven, from whence, in the revolution of ages, they are again sent into pure bodies; 4.287. These things were a manifest indication that some destruction was coming upon men, when the system of the world was put into this disorder; and anyone would guess that these wonders foreshowed some grand calamities that were coming. 4.289. but truly they proved both ill conjectures at what was to come, and made those events to be ominous to their enemies, while they were themselves to undergo the ill effects of them; 4.297. which indeed was done upon other nights, but was omitted that night, not by reason of any slothfulness of Aus, but by the overbearing appointment of fate, that so both he might himself perish, and the multitude of the guards might perish with him; 4.623. for as he called to mind the other signals, which had been a great many everywhere, that foretold he should obtain the government, so did he remember what Josephus had said to him when he ventured to foretell his coming to the empire while Nero was alive; 5.19. And now, “O most wretched city, what misery so great as this didst thou suffer from the Romans, when they came to purify thee from thy intestine hatred! For thou couldst be no longer a place fit for God, nor couldst thou long continue in being, after thou hadst been a sepulchre for the bodies of thy own people, and hadst made the holy house itself a burying-place in this civil war of thine. Yet mayst thou again grow better, if perchance thou wilt hereafter appease the anger of that God who is the author of thy destruction.” 5.225. Before this temple stood the altar, fifteen cubits high, and equal both in length and breadth; each of which dimensions was fifty cubits. The figure it was built in was a square, and it had corners like horns; and the passage up to it was by an insensible acclivity. It was formed without any iron tool, nor did any such iron tool so much as touch it at any time. 5.257. for I venture to affirm that the sedition destroyed the city, and the Romans destroyed the sedition, which it was a much harder thing to do than to destroy the walls; so that we may justly ascribe our misfortunes to our own people, and the just vengeance taken on them to the Romans; as to which matter let every one determine by the actions on both sides. 5.367. And evident it is that fortune is on all hands gone over to them; and that God, when he had gone round the nations with this dominion, is now settled in Italy. That, moreover, it is a strong and fixed law, even among brute beasts, as well as among men, to yield to those that are too strong for them; and to suffer those to have dominion who are too hard 5.372. He added this further, how right a thing it was to change their conduct before their calamities were become incurable, and to have recourse to such advice as might preserve them, while opportunity was offered them for so doing; for that the Romans would not be mindful of their past actions to their disadvantage, unless they persevered in their insolent behavior to the end; because they were naturally mild in their conquests, and preferred what was profitable, before what their passions dictated to them; 5.373. which profit of theirs lay not in leaving the city empty of inhabitants, nor the country a desert; on which account Caesar did now offer them his right hand for their security. Whereas, if he took the city by force, he would not save anyone of them, and this especially, if they rejected his offers in these their utmost distresses; 5.376. and cried out aloud, “O miserable creatures! are you so unmindful of those that used to assist you, that you will fight by your weapons and by your hands against the Romans? When did we ever conquer any other nation by such means? 5.377. and when was it that God, who is the Creator of the Jewish people, did not avenge them when they had been injured? Will not you turn again, and look back, and consider whence it is that you fight with such violence, and how great a Supporter you have profanely abused? Will not you recall to mind the prodigious things done for your forefathers and this holy place, and how great enemies of yours were by him subdued under you? 5.378. I even tremble myself in declaring the works of God before your ears, that are unworthy to hear them; however, hearken to me, that you may be informed how you fight not only against the Romans, but against God himself. 5.379. In old times there was one Necao, king of Egypt, who was also called Pharaoh; he came with a prodigious army of soldiers, and seized queen Sarah, the mother of our nation. 5.380. What did Abraham our progenitor then do? Did he defend himself from this injurious person by war, although he had three hundred and eighteen captains under him, and an immense army under each of them? Indeed he deemed them to be no number at all without God’s assistance, and only spread out his hands towards this holy place, which you have now polluted, and reckoned upon him as upon his invincible supporter, instead of his own army. 5.381. Was not our queen sent back, without any defilement, to her husband, the very next evening?—while the king of Egypt fled away, adoring this place which you have defiled by shedding thereon the blood of your own countrymen; and he also trembled at those visions which he saw in the night season, and bestowed both silver and gold on the Hebrews, as on a people beloved by God. 5.382. Shall I say nothing, or shall I mention the removal of our fathers into Egypt, who, when they were used tyrannically, and were fallen under the power of foreign kings for four hundred years together, and might have defended themselves by war and by fighting, did yet do nothing but commit themselves to God? 5.383. Who is there that does not know that Egypt was overrun with all sorts of wild beasts, and consumed by all sorts of distempers? how their land did not bring forth its fruit? how the Nile failed of water? how the ten plagues of Egypt followed one upon another? and how by those means our fathers were sent away under a guard, without any bloodshed, and without running any dangers, because God conducted them as his peculiar servants? 5.384. Moreover, did not Palestine groan under the ravage the Assyrians made, when they carried away our sacred ark? asdid their idol Dagon, and as also did that entire nation of those that carried it away, 5.385. how they were smitten with a loathsome distemper in the secret parts of their bodies, when their very bowels came down together with what they had eaten, till those hands that stole it away were obliged to bring it back again, and that with the sound of cymbals and timbrels, and other oblations, in order to appease the anger of God for their violation of his holy ark. 5.386. It was God who then became our General, and accomplished these great things for our fathers, and this because they did not meddle with war and fighting, but committed it to him to judge about their affairs. 5.387. When Sennacherib, king of Assyria, brought along with him all Asia, and encompassed this city round with his army, did he fall by the hands of men? 5.388. were not those hands lifted up to God in prayers, without meddling with their arms, when an angel of God destroyed that prodigious army in one night? when the Assyrian king, as he rose the next day, found a hundred fourscore and five thousand dead bodies, and when he, with the remainder of his army, fled away from the Hebrews, though they were unarmed, and did not pursue them. 5.389. You are also acquainted with the slavery we were under at Babylon, where the people were captives for seventy years; yet were they not delivered into freedom again before God made Cyrus his gracious instrument in bringing it about; accordingly they were set free by him, and did again restore the worship of their Deliverer at his temple. 5.390. And, to speak in general, we can produce no example wherein our fathers got any success by war, or failed of success when without war they committed themselves to God. When they staid at home, they conquered, as pleased their Judge; but when they went out to fight, they were always disappointed: 5.391. for example, when the king of Babylon besieged this very city, and our king Zedekiah fought against him, contrary to what predictions were made to him by Jeremiah the prophet, he was at once taken prisoner, and saw the city and the temple demolished. Yet how much greater was the moderation of that king, than is that of your present governors, and that of the people then under him, than is that of you at this time! 5.392. for when Jeremiah cried out aloud, how very angry God was at them, because of their transgressions, and told them that they should be taken prisoners, unless they would surrender up their city, neither did the king nor the people put him to death; 5.393. but for you (to pass over what you have done within the city, which I am not able to describe as your wickedness deserves) you abuse me, and throw darts at me, who only exhort you to save yourselves, as being provoked when you are put in mind of your sins, and cannot bear the very mention of those crimes which you every day perpetrate. 5.394. For another example, when Antiochus, who was called Epiphanes, lay before this city, and had been guilty of many indignities against God, and our forefathers met him in arms, they then were slain in the battle, this city was plundered by our enemies, and our sanctuary made desolate for three years and six months. And what need I bring any more examples? 5.402. You have not avoided so much as those sins that are usually done in secret; I mean thefts, and treacherous plots against men, and adulteries. You are quarreling about rapines and murders, and invent strange ways of wickedness. Nay, the temple itself is become the receptacle of all, and this Divine place is polluted by the hands of those of our own country; which place hath yet been reverenced by the Romans when it was at a distance from them, when they have suffered many of their own customs to give place to our law. 5.407. And it is plain madness to expect that God should appear as well disposed towards the wicked as towards the righteous, since he knows when it is proper to punish men for their sins immediately; accordingly he brake the power of the Assyrians the very first night that they pitched their camp. 5.412. Wherefore I cannot but suppose that God is fled out of his sanctuary, and stands on the side of those against whom you fight. 5.415. However, there is a place left for your preservation, if you be willing to accept of it; and God is easily reconciled to those that confess their faults, and repent of them. 5.416. O hard-hearted wretches as you are! cast away all your arms, and take pity of your country already going to ruin; return from your wicked ways, and have regard to the excellency of that city which you are going to betray, to that excellent temple with the donations of so many countries in it. 5.420. 1. As Josephus was speaking thus with a loud voice, the seditious would neither yield to what he said, nor did they deem it safe for them to alter their conduct; but as for the people, they had a great inclination to desert to the Romans; 5.421. accordingly, some of them sold what they had, and even the most precious things that had been laid up as treasures by them, for a very small matter, and swallowed down pieces of gold, that they might not be found out by the robbers; and when they had escaped to the Romans, went to stool, and had wherewithal to provide plentifully for themselves; 5.422. for Titus let a great number of them go away into the country, whither they pleased. And the main reasons why they were so ready to desert were these: That now they should be freed from those miseries which they had endured in that city, and yet should not be in slavery to the Romans: 6.108. Thou hast indignation at me again, and makest a clamor at me, and reproachest me; indeed, I cannot deny that I am worthy of worse treatment than all this amounts to, because, in opposition to fate, I make this kind invitation to thee, and endeavor to force deliverance upon those whom God hath condemned. 6.113. yet did that discourse influence a great many of the better sort; and truly some of them were so afraid of the guards sent by the seditious, that they tarried where they were, but still were satisfied that both they and the city were doomed to destruction. Some also there were who, watching for a proper opportunity when they might quietly get away, fled to the Romans, 6.114. of whom were the high priests Joseph and Jesus, and of the sons of high priests three, whose father was Ishmael, who was beheaded in Cyrene, and four sons of Matthias, as also one son of the other Matthias, who ran away after his father’s death, and whose father was slain by Simon the son of Gioras, with three of his sons, as I have already related; many also of the other nobility went over to the Romans, together with the high priests. 6.115. Now Caesar not only received these men very kindly in other respects, but, knowing they would not willingly live after the customs of other nations, he sent them to Gophna, and desired them to remain there for the present, and told them, that when he was gotten clear of this war, he would restore each of them to their possessions again; 6.116. o they cheerfully retired to that small city which was allotted them, without fear of any danger. But as they did not appear, the seditious gave out again that these deserters were slain by the Romans,—which was done in order to deter the rest from running away, by fear of the like treatment. 6.117. This trick of theirs succeeded now for a while, as did the like trick before; for the rest were hereby deterred from deserting, by fear of the like treatment. 6.118. 3. However, when Titus had recalled those men from Gophna, he gave orders that they should go round the wall, together with Josephus, and show themselves to the people; upon which a great many fled to the Romans. 6.119. These men also got in a great number together, and stood before the Romans, and besought the seditious, with groans and tears in their eyes, in the first place to receive the Romans entirely into the city, and save that their own place of residence again; 6.250. But as for that house, God had, for certain, long ago doomed it to the fire; and now that fatal day was come, according to the revolution of ages; it was the tenth day of the month Lous, [Ab,] upon which it was formerly burnt by the king of Babylon; 6.252. At which time one of the soldiers, without staying for any orders, and without any concern or dread upon him at so great an undertaking, and being hurried on by a certain divine fury, snatched somewhat out of the materials that were on fire, and being lifted up by another soldier, he set fire to a golden window, through which there was a passage to the rooms that were round about the holy house, on the north side of it. 6.270. and from the second building of it, which was done by Haggai, in the second year of Cyrus the king, till its destruction under Vespasian, there were six hundred and thirty-nine years and forty-five days. 6.285. A false prophet was the occasion of these people’s destruction, who had made a public proclamation in the city that very day, that God commanded them to get up upon the temple, and that there they should receive miraculous signs of their deliverance. 6.286. Now, there was then a great number of false prophets suborned by the tyrants to impose on the people, who denounced this to them, that they should wait for deliverance from God; and this was in order to keep them from deserting, and that they might be buoyed up above fear and care by such hopes. 6.287. Now, a man that is in adversity does easily comply with such promises; for whensuch a seducer makes him believe that he shall be delivered from those miseries which oppress him, then it is that the patient is full of hopes of such his deliverance. 6.288. 3. Thus were the miserable people persuaded by these deceivers, and such as belied God himself; while they did not attend nor give credit to the signs that were so evident, and did so plainly foretell their future desolation, but, like men infatuated, without either eyes to see or minds to consider, did not regard the denunciations that God made to them. 6.289. Thus there was a star resembling a sword, which stood over the city, and a comet, that continued a whole year. 6.290. Thus also before the Jews’ rebellion, and before those commotions which preceded the war, when the people were come in great crowds to the feast of unleavened bread, on the eighth day of the month Xanthicus, [Nisan,] and at the ninth hour of the night, so great a light shone round the altar and the holy house, that it appeared to be bright day time; which light lasted for half an hour. 6.291. This light seemed to be a good sign to the unskillful, but was so interpreted by the sacred scribes, as to portend those events that followed immediately upon it. 6.292. At the same festival also, a heifer, as she was led by the high priest to be sacrificed, brought forth a lamb in the midst of the temple. 6.293. Moreover, the eastern gate of the inner [court of the] temple, which was of brass, and vastly heavy, and had been with difficulty shut by twenty men, and rested upon a basis armed with iron, and had bolts fastened very deep into the firm floor, which was there made of one entire stone, was seen to be opened of its own accord about the sixth hour of the night. 6.294. Now, those that kept watch in the temple came hereupon running to the captain of the temple, and told him of it; who then came up thither, and not without great difficulty was able to shut the gate again. 6.295. This also appeared to the vulgar to be a very happy prodigy, as if God did thereby open them the gate of happiness. But the men of learning understood it, that the security of their holy house was dissolved of its own accord, and that the gate was opened for the advantage of their enemies. 6.296. So these publicly declared that the signal foreshowed the desolation that was coming upon them. Besides these, a few days after that feast, on the one and twentieth day of the month Artemisius, [Jyar], 6.297. a certain prodigious and incredible phenomenon appeared: I suppose the account of it would seem to be a fable, were it not related by those that saw it, 6.298. and were not the events that followed it of so considerable a nature as to deserve such signals; for, before sunsetting, chariots and troops of soldiers in their armor were seen 6.299. running about among the clouds, and surrounding of cities. Moreover, at that feast which we call Pentecost, as the priests were going by night into the inner [court of the] temple, as their custom was, to perform their sacred ministrations, they said that, in the first place, they felt a quaking, and heard a great noise, 6.300. and after that they heard a sound as of a great multitude, saying, “Let us remove hence.” But, what is still more terrible, there was one Jesus, the son of Aus, a plebeian and a husbandman, who, four years before the war began, and at a time when the city was in very great peace and prosperity, came to that feast whereon it is our custom for everyone to make tabernacles to God in the temple, 6.301. began on a sudden to cry aloud, “A voice from the east, a voice from the west, a voice from the four winds, a voice against Jerusalem and the holy house, a voice against the bridegrooms and the brides, and a voice against this whole people!” This was his cry, as he went about by day and by night, in all the lanes of the city. 6.302. However, certain of the most eminent among the populace had great indignation at this dire cry of his, and took up the man, and gave him a great number of severe stripes; yet did not he either say anything for himself, or anything peculiar to those that chastised him, but still he went on with the same words which he cried before. 6.303. Hereupon our rulers, supposing, as the case proved to be, that this was a sort of divine fury in the man, brought him to the Roman procurator, 6.304. where he was whipped till his bones were laid bare; yet he did not make any supplication for himself, nor shed any tears, but turning his voice to the most lamentable tone possible, at every stroke of the whip his answer was, “Woe, woe to Jerusalem!” 6.305. And when Albinus (for he was then our procurator) asked him, Who he was? and whence he came? and why he uttered such words? he made no manner of reply to what he said, but still did not leave off his melancholy ditty, till Albinus took him to be a madman, and dismissed him. 6.306. Now, during all the time that passed before the war began, this man did not go near any of the citizens, nor was seen by them while he said so; but he every day uttered these lamentable words, as if it were his premeditated vow, “Woe, woe to Jerusalem!” 6.307. Nor did he give ill words to any of those that beat him every day, nor good words to those that gave him food; but this was his reply to all men, and indeed no other than a melancholy presage of what was to come. 6.308. This cry of his was the loudest at the festivals; and he continued this ditty for seven years and five months, without growing hoarse, or being tired therewith, until the very time that he saw his presage in earnest fulfilled in our siege, when it ceased; 6.309. for as he was going round upon the wall, he cried out with his utmost force, “Woe, woe to the city again, and to the people, and to the holy house!” And just as he added at the last, “Woe, woe to myself also!” there came a stone out of one of the engines, and smote him, and killed him immediately; and as he was uttering the very same presages he gave up the ghost. 6.310. 4. Now, if anyone consider these things, he will find that God takes care of mankind, and by all ways possible foreshows to our race what is for their preservation; but that men perish by those miseries which they madly and voluntarily bring upon themselves; 6.311. for the Jews, by demolishing the tower of Antonia, had made their temple foursquare, while at the same time they had it written in their sacred oracles, “That then should their city be taken, as well as their holy house, when once their temple should become foursquare.” 6.312. But now, what did most elevate them in undertaking this war, was an ambiguous oracle that was also found in their sacred writings, how, “about that time, one from their country should become governor of the habitable earth.” 6.313. The Jews took this prediction to belong to themselves in particular, and many of the wise men were thereby deceived in their determination. Now, this oracle certainly denoted the government of Vespasian, who was appointed emperor in Judea. 6.314. However, it is not possible for men to avoid fate, although they see it beforehand. 6.315. But these men interpreted some of these signals according to their own pleasure, and some of them they utterly despised, until their madness was demonstrated, both by the taking of their city and their own destruction. 6.333. It can therefore be nothing certainly but the kindness of us Romans which hath excited you against us; who, in the first place, have given you this land to possess; and, in the next place, have set over you kings of your own nation; and, in the third place, have preserved the laws of your forefathers to you, 6.334. and have withal permitted you to live, either by yourselves, or among others, as it should please you? 6.335. And what is our chief favor of all we have given you leave to gather up that tribute which is paid to God with such other gifts that are dedicated to him; nor have we called those that carried these donations to account, nor prohibited them; till at length you became richer than we ourselves, even when you were our enemies; and you made preparations for war against us with our own money; 6.336. nay, after all, when you were in the enjoyment of all these advantages, you turned your too great plenty against those that gave it you, and, like merciless serpents, have thrown out your poison against those that treated you kindly. 6.439. However, David, the king of the Jews, ejected the Canaanites, and settled his own people therein. It was demolished entirely by the Babylonians, four hundred and seventy-seven years and six months after him. 7.259. And indeed that was a time most fertile in all manner of wicked practices, insomuch that no kind of evil deeds were then left undone; nor could anyone so much as devise any bad thing that was new, 7.260. o deeply were they all infected, and strove with one another in their single capacity, and in their communities, who should run the greatest lengths in impiety towards God, and in unjust actions towards their neighbors; the men of power oppressing the multitude, and the multitude earnestly laboring to destroy the men of power. 7.261. The one part were desirous of tyrannizing over others, and the rest of offering violence to others, and of plundering such as were richer than themselves. 7.262. They were the Sicarii who first began these transgressions, and first became barbarous towards those allied to them, and left no words of reproach unsaid, and no works of perdition untried, in order to destroy those whom their contrivances affected. 7.263. Yet did John demonstrate by his actions that these Sicarii were more moderate than he was himself, for he not only slew all such as gave him good counsel to do what was right, but treated them worst of all, as the most bitter enemies that he had among all the Citizens; nay, he filled his entire country with ten thousand instances of wickedness, such as a man who was already hardened sufficiently in his impiety towards God would naturally do; 7.264. for the food was unlawful that was set upon his table, and he rejected those purifications that the law of his country had ordained; so that it was no longer a wonder if he, who was so mad in his impiety towards God, did not observe any rules of gentleness and common affection towards men. 7.265. Again, therefore, what mischief was there which Simon the son of Gioras did not do? or what kind of abuses did he abstain from as to those very free-men who had set him up for a tyrant? 7.266. What friendship or kindred were there that did not make him more bold in his daily murders? for they looked upon the doing of mischief to strangers only as a work beneath their courage, but thought their barbarity towards their nearest relations would be a glorious demonstration thereof. 7.267. The Idumeans also strove with these men who should be guilty of the greatest madness! for they [all], vile wretches as they were, cut the throats of the high priests, that so no part of a religious regard to God might be preserved; they thence proceeded to destroy utterly the least remains of a political government, 7.268. and introduced the most complete scene of iniquity in all instances that were practicable; under which scene that sort of people that were called zealots grew up, and who indeed corresponded to the name; 7.269. for they imitated every wicked work; nor, if their memory suggested any evil thing that had formerly been done, did they avoid zealously to pursue the same; 7.270. and although they gave themselves that name from their zeal for what was good, yet did it agree to them only by way of irony, on account of those they had unjustly treated by their wild and brutish disposition, or as thinking the greatest mischiefs to be the greatest good. 7.271. Accordingly, they all met with such ends as God deservedly brought upon them in way of punishment; 7.272. for all such miseries have been sent upon them as man’s nature is capable of undergoing, till the utmost period of their lives, and till death came upon them in various ways of torment; 7.273. yet might one say justly that they suffered less than they had done, because it was impossible they could be punished according to their deserving. 7.274. But to make a lamentation according to the deserts of those who fell under these men’s barbarity, this is not a proper place for it;—I therefore now return again to the remaining part of the present narration. 7.331. for the nature of this fortress which was in itself unconquerable, hath not proved a means of our deliverance; and even while we have still great abundance of food, and a great quantity of arms, and other necessaries more than we want, we are openly deprived by God himself of all hope of deliverance; 7.332. for that fire which was driven upon our enemies did not of its own accord turn back upon the wall which we had built; this was the effect of God’s anger against us for our manifold sins, which we have been guilty of in a most insolent and extravagant manner with regard to our own countrymen; 7.360. For do not you ascribe the occasion of our present condition to yourselves, nor think the Romans are the true occasion that this war we have had with them is become so destructive to us all: these things have not come to pass by their power, but a more powerful cause hath intervened, and made us afford them an occasion of their appearing to be conquerors over us. |

"One must bless [God] for the evil in the same way as one blesses for the good, as it says, “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:5). “With all your heart,” with your two impulses, the evil impulse as well as the good impulse. “With all your soul” even though he takes your soul [life] away from you. “With all your might” with all your money. Another explanation, “With all your might” whatever treatment he metes out to you. One should not show disrespect to the Eastern Gate, because it is in a direct line with the Holy of Holies. One should not enter the Temple Mount with a staff, or with shoes on, or with a wallet, or with dusty feet; nor should one make it a short cut, all the more spitting [is forbidden]. All the conclusions of blessings that were in the Temple they would say, “forever [lit. as long as the world is].” When the sectarians perverted their ways and said that there was only one world, they decreed that they should say, “for ever and ever [lit. from the end of the world to the end of the world]. They also decreed that a person should greet his fellow in God’s name, as it says, “And behold Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, ‘May the Lord be with you.’ And they answered him, “May the Lord bless you’” (Ruth 2:. And it also says, “The Lord is with your, you valiant warrior” (Judges 6:12). And it also says, “And do not despise your mother when she grows old” (Proverbs 23:22).

"The blasphemer is punished only if he utters [the divine] name. Rabbi Joshua b. Korcha said: “The whole day [of the trial] the witnesses are examined by means of a substitute for the divine name:, ‘may Yose smite Yose.” When the trial was finished, the accused was not executed on this evidence, but all persons were removed [from court], and the chief witness was told, ‘State literally what you heard.’ Thereupon he did so, [using the divine name]. The judges then arose and tore their garments, which were not to be resewn. The second witness stated: “I too have heard thus” [but not uttering the divine name], and the third says: “I too heard thus.”", 10.1. "All Israel have a portion in the world to come, for it says, “Your people, all of them righteous, shall possess the land for ever; They are the shoot that I planted, my handiwork in which I glory” (Isaiah 60:2. And these are the ones who have no portion in the world to come: He who maintains that resurrection is not a biblical doctrine, that the torah was not divinely revealed, and an epikoros. Rabbi Akiva says: “Even one who reads non-canonical books and one who whispers [a charm] over a wound and says, “I will not bring upon you any of the diseases which i brought upon the Egyptians: for I the lord am you healer” (Exodus 15:26). Abba Shaul says: “Also one who pronounces the divine name as it is spelled.”", |

On the ninth of Av It was decreed that our ancestors should not enter the land, The Temple was destroyed the first And the second time, Betar was captured, And the city was plowed up. When Av enters, they limit their rejoicing.", 4.7. "During the week in which the ninth of Av falls it is forbidden to cut the hair and to wash clothes but on Thursday it is permitted in honor of Shabbat. On the eve of the ninth of Av one should not eat a meal of two cooked dishes, nor should he eat meat or drink wine. Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel says: one should make change [his diet.] Rabbi Judah obligated turning over the bed, but the sages did not agree with him.", 4.8. "Section one: Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel said: There were no days of joy in Israel greater than the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur. Section two: On these days the daughters of Jerusalem would go out in borrowed white garments in order not to shame any one who had none. All these garments required immersion. The daughters of Jerusalem come out and dance in the vineyards. What would they say? Young man, lift up your eyes and see what you choose for yourself. Do not set your eyes on beauty but set your eyes on the family. “Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman that fears the Lord, she shall be praised” (Proverbs 31:30). And it further says, “Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her works praise her in the gates” (ibid, 31:31). Section three: Similarly it says, “O maidens of Zion, go forth and gaze upon King Solomon wearing the crown that his mother gave him on his wedding day, on the day of the gladness of his heart” (Song of Songs 3:11). “On his wedding day”: this refers to Matan Torah (the Giving of the Torah). “And on the day of the gladness of his heart”: this refers to the building of the Temple; may it be rebuilt speedily in our days, Amen.", |

To these he also showed himself alive after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and spoke about God's Kingdom. 1.4.

For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 1.6. Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?" 1.7. He said to them, "It isn't for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within His own authority. 1.8. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth." 1.9.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. 3.14. But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 3.15. and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses. 3.16. By faith in his name has his name made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 3.17. "Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 5.3. But Peter said, "Aias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 5.9. But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." 5.37. After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. 7.45. which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David, 7.51. "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do. 7.52. Which of the prophets didn't your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers. 10.3. At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!" 10.10. He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance. 10.25. When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him. 13.27. For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn't know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. 14.5. When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to insult them and to stone them, 14.14. But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the multitude, crying out, 14.22. confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God. 15.3. They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers. 17.31. because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead." 19.13. But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." 19.14. There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. 19.15. The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?" 19.16. The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 19.17. This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 21.1. When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. |

I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. 5.5. One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals." 6.1. I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!" 7.1. After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. 7.2. I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, 7.3. saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" 9.11. They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," but in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon." 11.1. A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise, and measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it. 11.2. Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. 14.8. Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality." 16.19. The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 17.5. And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." 18.2. He cried with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and has become a habitation of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird! 18.10. standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.' 18.19. They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!' For in one hour is she made desolate. 18.21. A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all. 21.2. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. 21.10. He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 22.19. If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. |

Ὅταν οὖν ἴδητε τὸ Βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Δανιὴλ τοῦ προφήτου ἑστὸς ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ, ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω, 24.16. τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη, 24.17. ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι τὰ ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ, 24.18. καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω ὀπίσω ἆραι τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ, 24.19. οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις. 24.20. προσεύχεσθε δὲ ἵνα μὴ γένηται ἡ φυγὴ ὑμῶν χειμῶνος μηδὲ σαββάτῳ· 24.21. ἔσται γὰρ τότε θλίψις μεγάλη οἵα οὐ γέγονεν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς κόσμου ἕως τοῦ νῦν οὐδʼ οὐ μὴ γένηται. 24.22. καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐκολοβώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι, οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ· διὰ δὲ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς κολοβωθήσονται αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι. 24.23. Τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ Ἰδοὺ ὧδε ὁ χριστός ἤ?̔͂ωδε, μὴ πιστεύσητε· 24.24. ἐγερθήσονται γὰρ ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται, καὶ δώσουσιν σημεῖα μεγάλα καὶ τέρατα ὥστε πλανᾶσθαι εἰ δυνατὸν καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς· 24.25. ἰδοὺ προείρηκα ὑμῖν. 24.26. ἐὰν οὖν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν Ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐστίν, μὴ ἐξέλθητε· Ἰδοὺ ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις, μὴ πιστεύσητε· 24.27. ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἐξέρχεται ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ φαίνεται ἕως δυσμῶν, οὕτως ἔσται ἡ παρουσία τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου· 24.28. ὅπου ἐὰν ᾖ τὸ πτῶμα, ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοί. 24.29. Εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ τὴν θλίψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται, καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται. 24.30. καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ τότε κόψονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς· 24.31. καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ σάλπιγγος μεγάλης, καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσιν τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων ἀπʼ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως [τῶν] ἄκρων αὺτῶν. 24.32. Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν· ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος· 24.33. οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε πάντα ταῦτα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις. 24.34. ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως [ἂν] πάντα ταῦτα γένηται. 24.35. ὸ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσεται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσιν. 26.30. Καὶ ὑμνήσαντες ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν. 26.61. Οὗτος ἔφη Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν οἰκοδομῆσαι. 26.63. καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ. 27.24. ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Πειλᾶτος ὅτι οὐδὲν ὠφελεῖ ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον θόρυβος γίνεται λαβὼν ὕδωρ ἀπενίψατο τὰς χεῖρας κατέναντι τοῦ ὄχλου λέγων Ἀθῷός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τούτου· ὑμεῖς ὄψεσθε. 27.25. καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἶπεν Τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ. ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν. 27.51. Καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐσχίσθη [ἀπʼ] ἄνωθεν ἕως κάτω εἰς δύο, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐσείσθη, καὶ αἱ πέτραι ἐσχίσθησαν, 27.53. καὶ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ τῶν μνημείων μετὰ τὴν ἔγερσιν αὐτοῦ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν πόλιν καὶ ἐνεφανίσθησαν πολλοῖς. | 1.20. But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 1.21. She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins." 1.22. Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 1.23. "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, And shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;" Which is, being interpreted, "God with us." 1.24. Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself; 2.18. "A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; She wouldn't be comforted, Because they are no more." 3.10. "Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. 4.5. Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 5.4. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. 22.7. But the king was angry, and he sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 24.1. Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. 24.2. But he answered them, "Don't you see all of these things? Most assuredly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down." 24.3. As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" 24.4. Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray. 24.5. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray. 24.6. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. 24.7. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. 24.8. But all these things are the beginning of birth pains. 24.9. Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake. 24.10. Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. 24.11. Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. 24.12. Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. 24.13. But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved. 24.14. This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. 24.15. "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 24.16. then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 24.17. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house. 24.18. Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes. 24.19. But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days! 24.20. Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath, 24.21. for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. 24.22. Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened. 24.23. "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it. 24.24. For there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 24.25. "Behold, I have told you beforehand. 24.26. If therefore they tell you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' don't go out; 'Behold, he is in the inner chambers,' don't believe it. 24.27. For as the lightning comes forth from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 24.28. For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together. 24.29. But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; 24.30. and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 24.31. He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. 24.32. "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near. 24.33. Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 24.34. Most assuredly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished. 24.35. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 26.30. When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 26.61. and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'" 26.63. But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God." 27.24. So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it." 27.25. All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children!" 27.51. Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. 27.53. and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. |

Upon the whole, a man that will peruse this history, may principally learn from it, that all events succeed well, even to an incredible degree, and the reward of felicity is proposed by God; but then it is to those that follow his will, and do not venture to break his excellent laws: and that so far as men any way apostatize from the accurate observation of them, what was practicable before becomes impracticable; and whatsoever they set about as a good thing is converted into an incurable calamity. 1.15. And now I exhort all those that peruse these books, to apply their minds to God; and to examine the mind of our legislator, whether he hath not understood his nature in a manner worthy of him; and hath not ever ascribed to him such operations as become his power, and hath not preserved his writings from those indecent fables which others have framed, 1.41. But while all the living creatures had one language, at that time the serpent, which then lived together with Adam and his wife, shewed an envious disposition, at his supposal of their living happily, and in obedience to the commands of God; 1.46. When he made no reply, as conscious to himself that he had transgressed the command of God, God said, “I had before determined about you both, how you might lead a happy life, without any affliction, and care, and vexation of soul; and that all things which might contribute to your enjoyment and pleasure should grow up by my providence, of their own accord, without your own labor and painstaking; which state of labor and painstaking would soon bring on old age, and death would not be at any remote distance: 1.108. Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and, besides these, Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit. 3.81. Now, as to these matters, every one of my readers may think as he pleases; but I am under a necessity of relating this history as it is described in the sacred books. This sight, and the amazing sound that came to their ears, disturbed the Hebrews to a prodigious degree, 3.268. Accordingly, it is a plain case, that it is out of violent prejudice only that they report these things about us. But Moses was pure from any such distemper, and lived with countrymen who were pure of it also, and thence made the laws which concerned others that had the distemper. He did this for the honor of God. But as to these matters, let every one consider them after what manner he pleases. 3.322. Whence we are not to wonder at what was then done, while to this very day the writings left by Moses have so great a force, that even those that hate us do confess, that he who established this settlement was God, and that it was by the means of Moses, and of his virtue; but as to these matters, let every one take them as he thinks fit. 4.70. as also, that it was but just to offer to God the first-fruits of the entire product of the ground; and that they should offer the first-born of those four-footed beasts that are appointed for sacrifices, if it be a male, to the priests, to be slain, that they and their entire families may eat them in the holy city; 4.114. Then said he, “Happy is this people, on whom God bestows the possession of innumerable good things, and grants them his own providence to be their assistant and their guide; so that there is not any nation among mankind but you will be esteemed superior to them in virtue, and in the earnest prosecution of the best rules of life, and of such as are pure from wickedness, and will leave those rules to your excellent children; and this out of the regard that God bears to you, and the provision of such things for you as may render you happier than any other people under the sun. 4.115. You shall retain that land to which he hath sent you, and it shall ever be under the command of your children; and both all the earth, as well as the seas, shall be filled with your glory: and you shall be sufficiently numerous to supply the world in general, and every region of it in particular, with inhabitants out of your stock. 4.116. However, O blessed army! wonder that you are become so many from one father: and truly, the land of Canaan can now hold you, as being yet comparatively few; but know ye that the whole world is proposed to be your place of habitation for ever. The multitude of your posterity also shall live as well in the islands as on the continent, and that more in number than are the stars of heaven. And when you are become so many, God will not relinquish the care of you, but will afford you an abundance of all good things in times of peace, with victory and dominion in times of war. 4.117. May the children of your enemies have an inclination to fight against you; and may they be so hardy as to come to arms, and to assault you in battle, for they will not return with victory, nor will their return be agreeable to their children and wives. To so great a degree of valor will you be raised by the providence of God, who is able to diminish the affluence of some, and to supply the wants of others.” 4.158. And while it was in his power to claim this glory to himself, and make men believe they were his own predictions, there being no one that could be a witness against him, and accuse him for so doing, he still gave his attestation to him, and did him the honor to make mention of him on this account. But let every one think of these matters as he pleases. 4.200. Let there be then one city of the land of Canaan, and this situate in the most agreeable place for its goodness, and very eminent in itself, and let it be that which God shall choose for himself by prophetic revelation. Let there also be one temple therein, and one altar, not reared of hewn stones, but of such as you gather together at random; which stones, when they are whited over with mortar, will have a handsome appearance, and be beautiful to the sight. 4.205. 8. Let there be taken out of your fruits a tenth, besides that which you have allotted to give to the priests and Levites. This you may indeed sell in the country, but it is to be used in those feasts and sacrifices that are to be celebrated in the holy city; for it is fit that you should enjoy those fruits of the earth which God gives you to possess, so as may be to the honor of the donor. 4.209. 12. When the multitude are assembled together unto the holy city for sacrificing every seventh year, at the feast of tabernacles, let the high priest stand upon a high desk, whence he may be heard, and let him read the laws to all the people; and let neither the women nor the children be hindered from hearing, no, nor the servants neither; 4.218. But if these judges be unable to give a just sentence about the causes that come before them, (which case is not unfrequent in human affairs,) let them send the cause undetermined to the holy city, and there let the high priest, the prophet, and the sanhedrim, determine as it shall seem good to them. 7.342. He also gave orders, that when the temple should be once built, they should put the ark therein, with the holy vessels; and he assured them that they ought to have had a temple long ago, if their fathers had not been negligent of God’s commands, who had given it in charge, that when they had got the possession of this land, they should build him a temple. Thus did David discourse to the governors, and to his son. 8.262. He says withal that the Ethiopians learned to circumcise their privy parts from the Egyptians, with this addition, that the Phoenicians and Syrians that live in Palestine confess that they learned it of the Egyptians. Yet it is evident that no other of the Syrians that live in Palestine, besides us alone, are circumcised. But as to such matters, let every one speak what is agreeable to his own opinion. 8.418. And as what things were foretold should happen to Ahab by the two prophets came to pass, we ought thence to have high notions of God, and every where to honor and worship him, and never to suppose that what is pleasant and agreeable is worthy of belief before what is true, and to esteem nothing more advantageous than the gift of prophecy and that foreknowledge of future events which is derived from it, since God shows men thereby what we ought to avoid. 8.419. We may also guess, from what happened to this king, and have reason to consider the power of fate; that there is no way of avoiding it, even when we know it. It creeps upon human souls, and flatters them with pleasing hopes, till it leads them about to the place where it will be too hard for them. 9.28. Now at this time it was that Elijah disappeared from among men, and no one knows of his death to this very day; but he left behind him his disciple Elisha, as we have formerly declared. And indeed, as to Elijah, and as to Enoch, who was before the deluge, it is written in the sacred books that they disappeared, but so that nobody knew that they died. 10.142. 3. We have said thus much, because it was sufficient to show the nature of God to such as are ignorant of it, that it is various, and acts many different ways, and that all events happen after a regular manner, in their proper season, and that it foretells what must come to pass. It is also sufficient to show the ignorance and incredulity of men, whereby they are not permitted to foresee any thing that is future, and are, without any guard, exposed to calamities, so that it is impossible for them to avoid the experience of those calamities. 10.184. Now as to Shalmanezer, he removed the Israelites out of their country, and placed therein the nation of the Cutheans, who had formerly belonged to the inner parts of Persia and Media, but were then called Samaritans, by taking the name of the country to which they were removed; but the king of Babylon, who brought out the two tribes, placed no other nation in their country, by which means all Judea and Jerusalem, and the temple, continued to be a desert for seventy years; 10.194. while they had their souls in some measure more pure, and less burdened, and so fitter for learning, and had their bodies in better tune for hard labor; for they neither had the former oppressed and heavy with variety of meats, nor were the other effeminate on the same account; so they readily understood all the learning that was among the Hebrews, and among the Chaldeans, as especially did Daniel, who being already sufficiently skillful in wisdom, was very busy about the interpretation of dreams; and God manifested himself to him. 10.200. Accordingly, God, out of pity to those that were in danger, and out of regard to the wisdom of Daniel, made known to him the dream and its interpretation, that so the king might understand by him its signification also. 10.210. Daniel did also declare the meaning of the stone to the king but I do not think proper to relate it, since I have only undertaken to describe things past or things present, but not things that are future; yet if any one be so very desirous of knowing truth, as not to wave such points of curiosity, and cannot curb his inclination for understanding the uncertainties of futurity, and whether they will happen or not, let him be diligent in reading the book of Daniel, which he will find among the sacred writings. 10.237. Now when the king’s grandmother saw him cast down at this accident, she began to encourage him, and to say, that there was a certain captive who came from Judea, a Jew by birth, but brought away thence by Nebuchadnezzar when he had destroyed Jerusalem, whose name was Daniel, a wise man, and one of great sagacity in finding out what was impossible for others to discover, and what was known to God alone, who brought to light and answered such questions to Nebuchadnezzar as no one else was able to answer when they were consulted. 10.239. 3. When Baltasar heard this, he called for Daniel; and when he had discoursed to him what he had learned concerning him and his wisdom, and how a Divine Spirit was with him, and that he alone was fully capable of finding out what others would never have thought of, he desired him to declare to him what this writing meant; 10.240. that if he did so, he would give him leave to wear purple, and to put a chain of gold about his neck, and would bestow on him the third part of his dominion, as an honorary reward for his wisdom, that thereby he might become illustrious to those who saw him, and who inquired upon what occasion he obtained such honors. 10.241. But Daniel desired that he would keep his gifts to himself; for what is the effect of wisdom and of divine revelation admits of no gifts, and bestows its advantages on petitioners freely; but that still he would explain the writing to him; which denoted that he should soon die, and this because he had not learnt to honor God, and not to admit things above human nature, by what punishments his progenitor had undergone for the injuries he had offered to God; 10.244. —THEKEL. This signifies a weight, and means that God hath weighed thy kingdom in a balance, and finds it going down already.—PHARES. This also, in the Greek tongue, denotes a fragment. God will therefore break thy kingdom in pieces, and divide it among the Medes and Persians.” 10.266. But it is fit to give an account of what this man did, which is most admirable to hear, for he was so happy as to have strange revelations made to him, and those as to one of the greatest of the prophets, insomuch, that while he was alive he had the esteem and applause both of the kings and of the multitude; and now he is dead, he retains a remembrance that will never fail, 10.267. for the several books that he wrote and left behind him are still read by us till this time; and from them we believe that Daniel conversed with God; for he did not only prophesy of future events, as did the other prophets, but he also determined the time of their accomplishment. 10.276. And indeed it so came to pass, that our nation suffered these things under Antiochus Epiphanes, according to Daniel’s vision, and what he wrote many years before they came to pass. In the very same manner Daniel also wrote concerning the Roman government, and that our country should be made desolate by them. 10.277. All these things did this man leave in writing, as God had showed them to him, insomuch that such as read his prophecies, and see how they have been fulfilled, would wonder at the honor wherewith God honored Daniel; and may thence discover how the Epicureans are in an error, 10.278. who cast Providence out of human life, and do not believe that God takes care of the affairs of the world, nor that the universe is governed and continued in being by that blessed and immortal nature, but say that the world is carried along of its own accord, without a ruler and a curator; 10.279. which, were it destitute of a guide to conduct it, as they imagine, it would be like ships without pilots, which we see drowned by the winds, or like chariots without drivers, which are overturned; so would the world be dashed to pieces by its being carried without a Providence, and so perish, and come to nought. 10.280. So that, by the forementioned predictions of Daniel, those men seem to me very much to err from the truth, who determine that God exercises no providence over human affairs; for if that were the case, that the world went on by mechanical necessity, we should not see that all things would come to pass according to his prophecy. 10.281. Now as to myself, I have so described these matters as I have found them and read them; but if any one is inclined to another opinion about them, let him enjoy his different sentiments without any blame from me. 12.322. And this desolation came to pass according to the prophecy of Daniel, which was given four hundred and eight years before; for he declared that the Macedonians would dissolve that worship [for some time]. 13.51. I will also that the city of Jerusalem be holy and inviolable, and free from the tithe, and from the taxes, unto its utmost bounds. And I so far recede from my title to the citadel, as to permit Jonathan your high priest to possess it, that he may place such a garrison in it as he approves of for fidelity and good-will to himself, that they may keep it for us. 13.301. 1. Now when their father Hyrcanus was dead, the eldest son Aristobulus, intending to change the government into a kingdom, for so he resolved to do, first of all put a diadem on his head, four hundred eighty and one years and three months after the people had been delivered from the Babylonish slavery, and were returned to their own country again. 14.67. yet could not those that offered the sacrifices be compelled to run away, neither by the fear they were in of their own lives, nor by the number that were already slain, as thinking it better to suffer whatever came upon them, at their very altars, than to omit any thing that their laws required of them. 17.151. for Herod had caused such things to be made which were contrary to the law, of which he was accused by Judas and Matthias; for the king had erected over the great gate of the temple a large golden eagle, of great value, and had dedicated it to the temple. Now the law forbids those that propose to live according to it, to erect images or representations of any living creature. 17.152. So these wise men persuaded [their scholars] to pull down the golden eagle; alleging, that although they should incur any danger, which might bring them to their deaths, the virtue of the action now proposed to them would appear much more advantageous to them than the pleasures of life; since they would die for the preservation and observation of the law of their fathers; since they would also acquire an everlasting fame and commendation; since they would be both commended by the present generation, and leave an example of life that would never be forgotten to posterity; 17.153. ince that common calamity of dying cannot be avoided by our living so as to escape any such dangers; that therefore it is a right thing for those who are in love with a virtuous conduct, to wait for that fatal hour by such behavior as may carry them out of the world with praise and honor; 17.154. and that this will alleviate death to a great degree, thus to come at it by the performance of brave actions, which bring us into danger of it; and at the same time to leave that reputation behind them to their children, and to all their relations, whether they be men or women, which will be of great advantage to them afterward. 17.155. 3. And with such discourses as this did these men excite the young men to this action; and a report being come to them that the king was dead, this was an addition to the wise men’s persuasions; so, in the very middle of the day, they got upon the place, they pulled down the eagle, and cut it into pieces with axes, while a great number of the people were in the temple. 17.354. So Archelaus’s country was laid to the province of Syria; and Cyrenius, one that had been consul, was sent by Caesar to take account of people’s effects in Syria, and to sell the house of Archelaus. 19.108. while it was in his power, after such success, to keep silent, and to escape the wrath of Caius’s defenders, and not to leave it to uncertainty whether he should gain the end he aimed at or not, and after an unreasonable manner to act as if he had a mind to ruin himself, and lose the opportunity that lay before him. But every body may guess as he please about this matter. 20.122. When Cumanus heard of this action of theirs, he took the band of Sebaste, with four regiments of footmen, and armed the Samaritans, and marched out against the Jews, and caught them, and slew many of them, and took a great number of them alive; |

For if you are going to be like this and, in case you become angry with any one â and many things are likely to happen in a city, both right and wrong â you are going to see fit to exact so extreme a punishment as forthwith to try to consume with fire the victim of your rage along with his children and to force some of the women, free citizens as they are, to appear before you with garments rent, supplicating you as if in time of war, what mortal is so foolish, so unfortunate, that he will choose to live in such a city a single day? The fact is, it is far better to be an exile and a sojourner on foreign soil than to be subjected to such outrage.

After Mucianus had spoken, the rest became bolder; they gathered about Vespasian, encouraged him, and recalled the prophecies of seers and the movements of the stars. Nor indeed was he wholly free from such superstitious belief, as was evident later when he had obtained supreme power, for he openly kept at court an astrologer named Seleucus, whom he regarded as his guide and oracle. Old omens came back to his mind: once on his country estate a cypress of conspicuous height suddenly fell, but the next day it rose again on the selfsame spot fresh, tall, and with wider expanse than before. This occurrence was a favourable omen of great significance, as the haruspices all agreed, and promised the highest distinctions for Vespasian, who was then still a young man. At first, however, the insignia of a triumph, his consulship, and his victory over Judea appeared to have fulfilled the promise given by the omen; yet after he had gained these honours, he began to think that it was the imperial throne that was foretold. Between Judea and Syria lies Carmel: this is the name given to both the mountain and the divinity. The god has no image or temple â such is the rule handed down by the fathers; there is only an altar and the worship of the god. When Vespasian was sacrificing there and thinking over his secret hopes in his heart, the priest Basilides, after repeated inspection of the victim's vitals, said to him: "Whatever you are planning, Vespasian, whether to build a house, or to enlarge your holdings, or to increase the number of your slaves, the god grants you a mighty home, limitless bounds, and a multitude of men." This obscure oracle rumour had caught up at the time, and now was trying to interpret; nothing indeed was more often on men's lips. It was discussed even more in Vespasian's presence â for men have more to say to those who are filled with hope. The two leaders now separated with clear purposes before them, Mucianus going to Antioch, Vespasian to Caesarea. Antioch is the capital of Syria, Caesarea of Judea. 3.71. Martialis had hardly returned to the Capitol when the soldiers arrived in fury. They had no leader; each directed his own movements. Rushing through the Forum and past the temples that rise above it, they advanced in column up the hill, as far as the first gates of the Capitoline citadel. There were then some old colonnades on the right as you go up the slopes; the defenders came out on the roofs of these and showered stones and tiles on their assailants. The latter had no arms except their swords, and they thought that it would cost too much time to send for artillery and missiles; consequently they threw firebrands on a projecting colonnade, and then followed in the path of the flames; they actually burned the gates of the Capitol and would have forced their way through, if Sabinus had not torn down all the statues, memorials to the glory of our ancestors, and piled them up across the entrance as a barricade. Then the assailants tried different approaches to the Capitol, one by the grove of the asylum and another by the hundred steps that lead up to the Tarpeian Rock. Both attacks were unexpected; but the one by the asylum was closer and more threatening. Moreover, the defenders were unable to stop those who climbed through neighbouring houses, which, built high in time of peace, reached the level of the Capitol. It is a question here whether it was the besiegers or the besieged who threw fire on the roofs. The more common tradition says this was done by the latter in their attempts to repel their assailants, who were climbing up or had reached the top. From the houses the fire spread to the colonnades adjoining the temple; then the "eagles" which supported the roof, being of old wood, caught and fed the flames. So the Capitol burned with its doors closed; none defended it, none pillaged it. 3.72. This was the saddest and most shameful crime that the Roman state had ever suffered since its foundation. Rome had no foreign foe; the gods were ready to be propitious if our characters had allowed; and yet the home of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, founded after due auspices by our ancestors as a pledge of empire, which neither Porsenna, when the city gave itself up to him, nor the Gauls when they captured it, could violate â this was the shrine that the mad fury of emperors destroyed! The Capitol had indeed been burned before in civil war, but the crime was that of private individuals. Now it was openly besieged, openly burned â and what were the causes that led to arms? What was the price paid for this great disaster? This temple stood intact so long as we fought for our country. King Tarquinius Priscus had vowed it in the war with the Sabines and had laid its foundations rather to match his hope of future greatness than in accordance with what the fortunes of the Roman people, still moderate, could supply. Later the building was begun by Servius Tullius with the enthusiastic help of Rome's allies, and afterwards carried on by Tarquinius Superbus with the spoils taken from the enemy at the capture of Suessa Pometia. But the glory of completing the work was reserved for liberty: after the expulsion of the kings, Horatius Pulvillus in his second consulship dedicated it; and its magnificence was such that the enormous wealth of the Roman people acquired thereafter adorned rather than increased its splendour. The temple was built again on the same spot when after an interval of four hundred and fifteen years it had been burned in the consulship of Lucius Scipio and Gaius Norbanus. The victorious Sulla undertook the work, but still he did not dedicate it; that was the only thing that his good fortune was refused. Amid all the great works built by the Caesars the name of Lutatius Catulus kept its place down to Vitellius's day. This was the temple that then was burned. 5.13. Prodigies had indeed occurred, but to avert them either by victims or by vows is held unlawful by a people which, though prone to superstition, is opposed to all propitiatory rites. Contending hosts were seen meeting in the skies, arms flashed, and suddenly the temple was illumined with fire from the clouds. of a sudden the doors of the shrine opened and a superhuman voice cried: "The gods are departing": at the same moment the mighty stir of their going was heard. Few interpreted these omens as fearful; the majority firmly believed that their ancient priestly writings contained the prophecy that this was the very time when the East should grow strong and that men starting from Judea should possess the world. This mysterious prophecy had in reality pointed to Vespasian and Titus, but the common people, as is the way of human ambition, interpreted these great destinies in their own favour, and could not be turned to the truth even by adversity. We have heard that the total number of the besieged of every age and both sexes was six hundred thousand; there were arms for all who could use them, and the number ready to fight was larger than could have been anticipated from the total population. Both men and women showed the same determination; and if they were to be forced to change their home, they feared life more than death. Such was the city and people against which Titus Caesar now proceeded; since the nature of the ground did not allow him to assault or employ any sudden operations, he decided to use earthworks and mantlets; the legions were assigned to their several tasks, and there was a respite of fighting until they made ready every device for storming a town that the ancients had ever employed or modern ingenuity invented. |

At Jerusalem he founded a city in place of the one which had been razed to the ground, naming it Aelia Capitolina, and on the site of the temple of the god he raised a new temple to Jupiter. This brought on a war of no slight importance nor of brief duration,,2. for the Jews deemed it intolerable that foreign races should be settled in their city and foreign religious rites planted there. So long, indeed, as Hadrian was close by in Egypt and again in Syria, they remained quiet, save in so far as they purposely made of poor quality such weapons as they were called upon to furnish, in order that the Romans might reject them and they themselves might thus have the use of them; but when he went farther away, they openly revolted.,3. To be sure, they did not dare try conclusions with the Romans in the open field, but they occupied the advantageous positions in the country and strengthened them with mines and walls, in order that they might have places of refuge whenever they should be hard pressed, and might meet together unobserved under ground; and they pierced these subterranean passages from above at intervals to let in air and light. 69.13. 1. At first the Romans took no account of them. Soon, however, all Judaea had been stirred up, and the Jews everywhere were showing signs of disturbance, were gathering together, and giving evidence of great hostility to the Romans, partly by secret and partly by overt acts;,2. many outside nations, too, were joining them through eagerness for gain, and the whole earth, one might almost say, was being stirred up over the matter. Then, indeed, Hadrian sent against them his best generals. First of these was Julius Severus, who was dispatched from Britain, where he was governor, against the Jews.,3. Severus did not venture to attack his opponents in the open at any one point, in view of their numbers and their desperation, but by intercepting small groups, thanks to the number of his soldiers and his under-officers, and by depriving them of food and shutting them up, he was able, rather slowly, to be sure, but with comparatively little danger, to crush, exhaust and exterminate them. Very few of them in fact survived. |

"...The wicked Titus entered the sanctum of the Holy of Holies, and with his sword brandished in his hand he slashed the two curtains, and taking two whores he spread out a scroll of the Law beneath them and ravished them on top of the altar, and his sword came out full of blood, and some say from the blood of Yom Kippur [sprinkled by the Kohen Gadol on the curtains]. He [Titus] began to revile and blaspheme saying, “He who wages battle with a king in the desert and triumphs is different from him who wages battle in the king's own palace and vanquishes him.” What did he [Titus] do? He gathered all of the Temple vessels and put them in a sack and descended to a ship. At sea, a wave rose up to drown him. He said, “It would appear that this nation's god has power only on water. He [God] only punished the generation of Enosh with water, likewise He could only punish the generation of the flood with water, the generation of the Dispersal and Pharaoh and his army were only punished with water. So I, when I was in His house and domain He had no power to stand against me, and now he opposes me here!” The Holy One said, “By your life, I will punish you with the most insignificant of my creatures.” Immediately God hinted to the sea and it stayed its anger. When he arrived in Rome, all of the citizens came out and acclaimed him: “Conqueror of the Barbarians.” Immediately they heated the bath-house and he entered and washed himself. When he came out they poured for him the double glass for after the bath, and God appointed a mosquito for him and it entered his nose and gnawed its way up until it reached his brain. He said, “Call for the doctors to split open the head of that man [Titus] so I can know with what the God of that nation has punished him.” Forthwith they summoned the doctors, and they split open his brain and found in it the likeness of a young dove and its weight was two litras. R. Elazar son of R. Yosi said: I was there, and they put the young bird on one side [of the scales], and two litras on the other, and they balances one another. They took it and put it in a bowl, and as the mosquito withered so Titus deteriorated. The mosquito flew away, and away flew the soul of the wicked Titus....", |

152. Tertullian, Against The Jews, 8 (2nd cent. CE - 3rd cent. CE) Tagged with subjects: •temple in jerusalem, destruction of Found in books: Allison (2018) 432 | 8. Accordingly the times must be inquired into of the predicted and future nativity of the Christ, and of His passion, and of the extermination of the city of Jerusalem, that is, its devastation. For Daniel says, that both the holy city and the holy place are exterminated together with the coming Leader, and that the pinnacle is destroyed unto ruin. And so the times of the coming Christ, the Leader, Isaiah 55:4 must be inquired into, which we shall trace in Daniel; and, after computing them, shall prove Him to be come, even on the ground of the times prescribed, and of competent signs and operations of His. Which matters we prove, again, on the ground of the consequences which were ever announced as to follow His advent; in order that we may believe all to have been as well fulfilled as foreseen. In such wise, therefore, did Daniel predict concerning Him, as to show both when and in what time He was to set the nations free; and how, after the passion of the Christ, that city had to be exterminated. For he says thus: In the first year under Darius, son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldees, I Daniel understood in the books the number of the years....And while I was yet speaking in my prayer, behold, the man Gabriel, whom I saw in the vision in the beginning, flying; and he touched me, as it were, at the hour of the evening sacrifice, and made me understand, and spoke with me, and said, Daniel I am now come out to imbue you with understanding; in the beginning of your supplication went out a word. And I have come to announce to you, because you are a man of desires; and ponder on the word, and understand in the vision. Seventy hebdomads have been abridged upon your commonalty, and upon the holy city, until delinquency be made inveterate, and sins sealed, and righteousness obtained by entreaty, and righteousness eternal introduced; and in order that vision and prophet may be sealed, and an holy one of holy ones anointed. And you shall know, and thoroughly see, and understand, from the going forth of a word for restoring and rebuilding Jerusalem unto the Christ, the Leader, hebdomads (seven and an half, and ) lxii and an half: and it shall convert, and shall be built into height and entrenchment, and the times shall be renewed: and after these lxii hebdomads shall the anointing be exterminated, and shall not be; and the city and the holy place shall he exterminate together with the Leader, who is making His advent; and they shall be cut short as in a deluge, until (the) end of a war, which shall be cut short unto ruin. And he shall confirm a testament in many. In one hebdomad and the half of the hebdomad shall be taken away my sacrifice and libation, and in the holy place the execration of devastation, (and ) until the end of (the) time consummation shall be given with regard to this devastation. Observe we, therefore, the limit - how, in truth, he predicts that there are to be lxx hebdomads, within which if they receive Him, it shall be built into height and entrenchment, and the times shall be renewed. But God, foreseeing what was to be - that they will not merely not receive Him, but will both persecute and deliver Him to death - both recapitulated, and said, that in lx and ii and an half of an hebdomad He is born, and an holy one of holy ones is anointed; but that when vii hebdomads and an half were fulfilling, He had to suffer, and the holy city had to be exterminated after one and an half hebdomad - whereby namely, the seven and an half hebdomads have been completed. For he says thus: And the city and the holy place to be exterminated together with the leader who is to come; and they shall be cut short as in a deluge; and he shall destroy the pinnacle unto ruin. Whence, therefore, do we show that the Christ came within the lxii and an half hebdomads? We shall count, moreover, from the first year of Darius, as at this particular time is shown to Daniel this particular vision; for he says, And understand and conjecture that at the completion of your word I make you these answers. Whence we are bound to compute from the first year of Darius, when Daniel saw this vision. Let us see, therefore, how the years are filled up until the advent of the Christ: - For Darius reigned...xviiii years (19). Artaxerxes reigned...xl and i years (41). Then King Ochus (who is also called Cyrus) reigned...xxiiii years (24). Argus...one year. Another Darius, who is also named Melas...xxi years (21). Alexander the Macedonian...xii years (12) Then, after Alexander, who had reigned over both Medes and Persians, whom he had reconquered, and had established his kingdom firmly in Alexandria, when withal he called that (city) by his own name; after him reigned, (there, in Alexandria,) Soter...xxxv years (35). To whom succeeds Philadelphus, reigning...xxx and viii years (38). To him succeeds Euergetes...xxv years (25). Then Philopator...xvii years (17). After him Epiphanes...xxiiii years (24). Then another Euergetes...xxviiii years (29). Then another Soter,...xxxviii years (38). Ptolemy...xxxvii years (37). Cleopatra,...xx years v months (20 5-12). Yet again Cleopatra reigned jointly with Augustus...xiii years (13). After Cleopatra, Augustus reigned other...xliii years (43). For all the years of the empire of Augustus were...lvi years (56). Let us see, moreover, how in the forty-first year of the empire of Augustus, when he has been reigning for xx and viii years after the death of Cleopatra, the Christ is born. (And the same Augustus survived, after Christ is born, xv years; and the remaining times of years to the day of the birth of Christ will bring us to the xl first year, which is the xx and viiith of Augustus after the death of Cleopatra.) There are, (then,) made up cccxxx and vii years, v months: (whence are filled up lxii hebdomads and an half: which make up ccccxxxvii years, vi months:) on the day of the birth of Christ. And (then) righteousness eternal was manifested, and an Holy One of holy ones was anointed - that is, Christ - and sealed was vision and prophet, and sins were remitted, which, through faith in the name of Christ, are washed away for all who believe in Him. But what does he mean by saying that vision and prophecy are sealed? That all prophets ever announced of Him that He was to come and had to suffer. Therefore, since the prophecy was fulfilled through His advent, for that reason he said that vision and prophecy were sealed; inasmuch as He is the signet of all prophets, fulfilling all things which in days bygone they had announced of Him. For after the advent of Christ and His passion there is no longer vision or prophet to announce Him as to come. In short, if this is not so, let the Jews exhibit, subsequently to Christ, any volumes of prophets, visible miracles wrought by any angels, (such as those) which in bygone days the patriarchs saw until the advent of Christ, who is now come; since which event sealed is vision and prophecy, that is, confirmed. And justly does the evangelist write, The law and the prophets (were) until John the Baptist. For, on Christ's being baptized, that is, on His sanctifying the waters in His own baptism, all the plenitude of bygone spiritual grace-gifts ceased in Christ, sealing as He did all vision and prophecies, which by His advent He fulfilled. Whence most firmly does he assert that His advent seals visions and prophecy. Accordingly, showing, (as we have done,) both the number of the years, and the time of the lx two and an half fulfilled hebdomads, on completion of which, (we have shown) that Christ has come, that is, has been born, let us see what (mean) other vii and an half hebdomads, which have been subdivided in the abscision of the former hebdomads; (let us see, namely,) in what event they have been fulfilled:- For, after Augustus who survived after the birth of Christ, are made up...xv years (15). To whom succeeded Tiberius C sar, and held the empire...xx years, vii months, xxviii days (20 etc.). (In the fiftieth year of his empire Christ suffered, being about xxx years of age when he suffered.) Again Caius C sar, also called Caligula,...iii years, viii months, xiii days (3 etc.). Nero C sar,...xi years, ix months, xiii days (11 etc.). Galba...vii months, vi days. (7 etc.). Otho...iii days. Vitellius,...viii mos., xxvii days (8 mos.). Vespasian, in the first year of his empire, subdues the Jews in war; and there are made lii years, vi months. For he reigned xi years. And thus, in the day of their storming, the Jews fulfilled the lxx hebdomads predicted in Daniel. Therefore, when these times also were completed, and the Jews subdued, there afterwards ceased in that place libations and sacrifices, which thenceforward have not been able to be in that place celebrated; for the unction, too, was exterminated in that place after the passion of Christ. For it had been predicted that the unction should be exterminated in that place; as in the Psalms it is prophesied, They exterminated my hands and feet. And the suffering of this extermination was perfected within the times of the lxx hebdomads, under Tiberius C sar, in the consulate of Rubellius Geminus and Fufius Geminus, in the month of March, at the times of the passover, on the eighth day before the calends of April, on the first day of unleavened bread, on which they slew the lamb at even, just as had been enjoined by Moses. Accordingly, all the synagogue of Israel did slay Him, saying to Pilate, when he was desirous to dismiss Him, His blood be upon us, and upon our children; and, If you dismiss him, you are not a friend of C sar; John 19:12 in order that all things might be fulfilled which had been written of Him. |

In front of this temple, where is also the statue of Triptolemus, is a bronze bull being led as it were to sacrifice, and there is a sitting figure of Epimenides of Cnossus fl. c. 600 B.C. , who they say entered a cave in the country and slept. And the sleep did not leave him before the fortieth year, and afterwards he wrote verses and purified Athens and other cities. But Thales who stayed the plague for the Lacedaemonians was not related to Epimenides in any way, and belonged to a different city. The latter was from Cnossus , but Thales was from Gortyn , according to Polymnastus of Colophon, who com posed a poem about him for the Lacedaemonians. |

EPIMEDESEpimenides, according to Theopompus and many other writers, was the son of Phaestius; some, however, make him the son of Dosiadas, others of Agesarchus. He was a native of Cnossos in Crete, though from wearing his hair long he did not look like a Cretan. One day he was sent into the country by his father to look for a stray sheep, and at noon he turned aside out of the way, and went to sleep in a cave, where he slept for fifty-seven years. After this he got up and went in search of the sheep, thinking he had been asleep only a short time. And when he could not find it, he came to the farm, and found everything changed and another owner in possession. Then he went back to the town in utter perplexity; and there, on entering his own house, he fell in with people who wanted to know who he was. At length he found his younger brother, now an old man, and learnt the truth from him. 1.110. So he became famous throughout Greece, and was believed to be a special favourite of heaven.Hence, when the Athenians were attacked by pestilence, and the Pythian priestess bade them purify the city, they sent a ship commanded by Nicias, son of Niceratus, to Crete to ask the help of Epimenides. And he came in the 46th Olympiad, purified their city, and stopped the pestilence in the following way. He took sheep, some black and others white, and brought them to the Areopagus; and there he let them go whither they pleased, instructing those who followed them to mark the spot where each sheep lay down and offer a sacrifice to the local divinity. And thus, it is said, the plague was stayed. Hence even to this day altars may be found in different parts of Attica with no name inscribed upon them, which are memorials of this atonement. According to some writers he declared the plague to have been caused by the pollution which Cylon brought on the city and showed them how to remove it. In consequence two young men, Cratinus and Ctesibius, were put to death and the city was delivered from the scourge. |

It is my purpose also to give the names and number and times of those who through love of innovation have run into the greatest errors, and, proclaiming themselves discoverers of knowledge falsely so-called have like fierce wolves unmercifully devastated the flock of Christ. 2.6.8. In addition to these the same author records many other tumults which were stirred up in Jerusalem itself, and shows that from that time seditions and wars and mischievous plots followed each other in quick succession, and never ceased in the city and in all Judea until finally the siege of Vespasian overwhelmed them. Thus the divine vengeance overtook the Jews for the crimes which they dared to commit against Christ. 2.15.2. And they say that Peter — when he had learned, through a revelation of the Spirit, of that which had been done — was pleased with the zeal of the men, and that the work obtained the sanction of his authority for the purpose of being used in the churches. Clement in the eighth book of his Hypotyposes gives this account, and with him agrees the bishop of Hierapolis named Papias. And Peter makes mention of Mark in his first epistle which they say that he wrote in Rome itself, as is indicated by him, when he calls the city, by a figure, Babylon, as he does in the following words: The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son. 3.5.3. But the people of the church in Jerusalem had been commanded by a revelation, vouchsafed to approved men there before the war, to leave the city and to dwell in a certain town of Perea called Pella. And when those that believed in Christ had come there from Jerusalem, then, as if the royal city of the Jews and the whole land of Judea were entirely destitute of holy men, the judgment of God at length overtook those who had committed such outrages against Christ and his apostles, and totally destroyed that generation of impious men. |

He said to them: /b In previous years, b on every Yom Kippur, /b upon entering the Holy of Holies, b I was met, /b in a prophetic vision, b by an old man who was dressed in white, and /b his head was b wrapped up in white, /b and b he would enter /b the Holy of Holies b with me, and he would leave with me. But today, I was met by an old man who was dressed in black, and /b his head was b wrapped up in black, /b and b he entered /b the Holy of Holies b with me, /b but b he did not leave with me. /b He understood this to be a sign that his death was impending. Indeed, b after the festival /b of i Sukkot /i , b he was ill for seven days and died. /b ,Without the presence of Shimon HaTzaddik among them, the Jewish people were no longer worthy of the many miracles that had occurred during his lifetime. For this reason, following his death, b his brethren, the priests, refrained from blessing /b the Jewish people b with the /b explicit b name of God /b in the priestly blessing., b The Sages taught: /b During the tenure of Shimon HaTzaddik, the lot for God always arose in the High Priest’s right hand; after his death, it occurred only occasionally; but during the b forty years prior to the destruction of the /b Second b Temple, /b the b lot /b for God b did not arise in the /b High Priest’s b right /b hand at all. So too, b the strip of crimson /b wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel b did not turn white, and the westernmost lamp /b of the candelabrum b did not burn /b continually., b And the doors of the Sanctuary opened by themselves /b as a sign that they would soon be opened by enemies, b until Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai scolded them. He said to /b the Sanctuary: b Sanctuary, Sanctuary, why do you frighten yourself /b with these signs? b I know about you that you will ultimately be destroyed, and Zechariah, son of Ido, has already prophesied concerning you: “Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars” /b (Zechariah 11:1), Lebanon being an appellation for the Temple., b Rabbi Yitzḥak ben Tavlai said: Why is /b the Temple b called Lebanon [ i Levanon /i ]? Because it whitens [ i malbin /i ] the Jewish people’s sins, /b alluded to by the root i lavan /i , meaning white., b Rav Zutra bar Toviya said: Why is /b the Temple b called: Forest, as it is written: “The house of the forest of Lebanon” /b (I Kings 10:17)? b To tell you: Just as a forest blooms, so too the Temple blooms. As Rav Hoshaya said: When Solomon built the Temple, he planted in it all kinds of sweet fruit /b trees made b of gold, and /b miraculously these b brought forth fruit in their season. And when the wind blew upon them, their fruit would fall off, as it is stated: “May his fruits rustle like Lebanon” /b (Psalms 72:16). b And through /b selling these golden fruits to the public, b there was a source of income for the priesthood. /b , b But once the /b gentile b nations entered the Sanctuary /b the golden trees b withered, as it states “And the blossoms of Lebanon wither” /b (Nahum 1:4). b And in the future /b hour of redemption, b the Holy One, Blessed be He, will restore /b them b to us as it is stated: “It shall blossom abundantly, it shall also rejoice and shout, the glory of Lebanon will be given to it” /b (Isaiah 35:2).,§ The mishna states that after selecting the two lots, the High Priest b places /b them b upon the two goats. /b Upon placing the lot for God upon the appropriate goat, he says: For God, as a sin-offering. This is just one of the occasions on which he mentions God’s name, as b the Sages taught /b in the i Tosefta /i ( i Yoma /i 2:2): b The High Priest mentions the name /b of God b ten times on that day: Three /b times b during the first confession; and three /b times b during the second confession, /b over the bull; b and three /b times when he confesses over b the scapegoat /b to Azazel; b and one /b time b with the lots, /b when placing the lot for God upon the goat., b And there already /b was an incident when the High Priest b said the name /b of God and b his voice /b was so strong that it b was heard /b even b in Jericho. Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: /b The distance b from Jerusalem to Jericho is ten parasangs. /b Despite the great distance, his voice was miraculously heard there.,The Gemara describes similar miracles in which events in the Temple were sensed a great distance away. b And /b the sound of b the doors of the Sanctuary /b opening b was heard /b from a distance of b eight Shabbat limits, /b which is eight i mil /i . Furthermore, b goats that were in Jericho would sneeze from /b smelling b the fragrance of the incense /b that burned in the Temple; the b women that were in Jericho did not need to perfume themselves, /b since they were perfumed by the b fragrance /b of the b incense, /b which reached there; b a bride that was in Jerusalem did not need to adorn herself /b with perfumes, since she was perfumed by the b fragrance /b of the b incense, /b which filled the air of Jerusalem., b Rabbi Yosei ben Dolgai said: Father had goats in the hills of Mikhmar, /b a district some distance from Jerusalem, b and they would sneeze from /b smelling b the fragrance of the incense. /b Similarly, b Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Avin said /b that b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Korḥa said: An old man reported to me: One time I went to /b the ruins of the Tabernacle in b Shiloh, and I smelled the smell of the incense from between its walls. /b The Tabernacle stood there during the period of the Judges, and more than a thousand years had passed since its destruction.,§ b Rabbi Yannai said: /b The b drawing of the lot from inside the receptacle is an indispensable /b part of the service, as it determines which goat will be for God and which for Azazel. However, the actual b placing /b of the lots upon the goats b is not indispensable. And Rabbi Yoḥa said: Even /b the b drawing of the lots /b from inside the receptacle b is not indispensable, /b since the High Priest may designate the goats himself, without employing the lottery.,The Gemara explains the dispute: b In accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, who said /b that b matters that are performed in /b the b white garments outside /b of the Holy of Holies b are not indispensable, everyone agrees that /b the drawing of the lots b is not indispensable, /b since it is held outside the Holy of Holies. b When they disagree, it is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Neḥemya. /b He holds that all matters performed in the white garments, even those performed outside the Holy of Holies, are indispensable. b The one who said /b the drawing of the lots b is indispensable /b holds b in accordance with /b the straightforward application of the principle of b Rabbi Neḥemya. And the one who said /b the drawing of the lots b is not indispensable /b claims that b this /b principle b applies /b only with regard b to /b matters that are classified as a Temple b service. /b The b drawing of the lots is not /b a Temple b service, /b therefore it is indispensable, even according to Rabbi Neḥemya’s principle., b Some say /b a different version of the dispute:, b In accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Neḥemya, who said /b that all matters performed in the white garments, even those performed outside the Holy of Holies, are b indispensable, everyone agrees that /b the drawing of the lots b is indispensable. /b , b When they disagree, it is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, /b who holds that matters that are performed in the white garments outside of the Holy of Holies are not indispensable. b The one who said /b that the drawing of the lots b is not indispensable /b holds b in accordance with /b the straightforward application of the principle of b Rabbi Yehuda. And the one who said /b that the drawing of the lots b is indispensable /b claims that although Rabbi Yehuda’s principle is generally true, b it is different here, /b in the case of the lottery, b because the verse repeated /b the phrase b “which came up” /b (Leviticus 16:9) b “which came up” /b (Leviticus 16:10) b two times. /b In the laws of sacrifices, a repeated phrase indicates the matter is indispensable.,The Gemara b raises an objection /b from that which was taught in a i baraita /i : b It is a mitzva to draw /b the lots, b and if /b the High Priest b did not draw the lots /b but instead designated the goats without using the lots, the designation b is valid. /b ,The Gemara considers the opinion presented in the i baraita /i : b Granted, according to that /b first b version /b of the dispute, b in which you said: In accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda everyone, /b i.e., Rabbi Yannai and Rabbi Yoḥa, b agrees that /b the drawing of the lots b is not indispensable, /b in accordance with b whose /b opinion b is this /b i baraita /i taught? b It is /b in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, /b according to all opinions. |

160. Origen, Against Celsus, 1.47, 4.73 (3rd cent. CE - 3rd cent. CE) Tagged with subjects: •temple in jerusalem, destruction of Found in books: Allison (2018) 114 | 1.47. I would like to say to Celsus, who represents the Jew as accepting somehow John as a Baptist, who baptized Jesus, that the existence of John the Baptist, baptizing for the remission of sins, is related by one who lived no great length of time after John and Jesus. For in the 18th book of his Antiquities of the Jews, Josephus bears witness to John as having been a Baptist, and as promising purification to those who underwent the rite. Now this writer, although not believing in Jesus as the Christ, in seeking after the cause of the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, whereas he ought to have said that the conspiracy against Jesus was the cause of these calamities befalling the people, since they put to death Christ, who was a prophet, says nevertheless - being, although against his will, not far from the truth- that these disasters happened to the Jews as a punishment for the death of James the Just, who was a brother of Jesus (called Christ), - the Jews having put him to death, although he was a man most distinguished for his justice. Paul, a genuine disciple of Jesus, says that he regarded this James as a brother of the Lord, not so much on account of their relationship by blood, or of their being brought up together, as because of his virtue and doctrine. If, then, he says that it was on account of James that the desolation of Jerusalem was made to overtake the Jews, how should it not be more in accordance with reason to say that it happened on account (of the death) of Jesus Christ, of whose divinity so many Churches are witnesses, composed of those who have been convened from a flood of sins, and who have joined themselves to the Creator, and who refer all their actions to His good pleasure. 4.73. And as a sequel to his non-understanding of the statements regarding the wrath of God, he continues: Is it not ridiculous to suppose that, whereas a man, who became angry with the Jews, slew them all from the youth upwards, and burned their city (so powerless were they to resist him), the mighty God, as they say, being angry, and indigt, and uttering threats, should, (instead of punishing them) send His own Son, who endured the sufferings which He did? If the Jews, then, after the treatment which they dared to inflict upon Jesus, perished with all their youth, and had their city consumed by fire, they suffered this punishment in consequence of no other wrath than that which they treasured up for themselves; for the judgment of God against them, which was determined by the divine appointment, is termed wrath agreeably to a traditional usage of the Hebrews. And what the Son of the mighty God suffered, He suffered voluntarily for the salvation of men, as has been stated to the best of my ability in the preceding pages. He then continues: But that I may speak not of the Jews alone (for that is not my object), but of the whole of nature, as I promised, I will bring out more clearly what has been already stated. Now what modest man, on reading these words, and knowing the weakness of humanity, would not be indigt at the offensive nature of the promise to give an account of the whole of nature, and at an arrogance like that which prompted him to inscribe upon his book the title which he ventured to give it (of a True Discourse)? But let us see what he has to say regarding the whole of nature, and what he is to place in a clearer light. |

The adulterer acts in the twilight of the night to act in secrecy, and therefore God, Who is concealed, arranges that the matter is revealed in public., b Alternatively, she acted in secret, /b and therefore b the Omnipresent revealed it in the open, as it is stated: “Though his hatred be concealed with deceit, his wickedness shall be revealed before the congregation” /b (Proverbs 26:26), i.e., concealed acts of sin are ultimately revealed in public.,§ The Gemara questions the need for two verses to indicate that small transgressions are addressed through one significant punishment. b And since Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b derives /b that small transgressions are combined and punished together b from: /b “Behold, this have I found, says Koheleth, b adding one thing to another, to find out the account” /b (Ecclesiastes 7:27), b why do I /b need the verse: b “For every boot stamped with fierceness” /b (Isaiah 9:4)? The Gemara answers: This verse serves b to /b teach that even small transgressions are punished b by the measure, /b i.e., with a punishment appropriate to the transgression.,The Gemara asks: b And since he derives it from “for every boot stamped with fierceness,” why do I /b need b “in full measure, when you send her away, you contend with her” /b (Isaiah 27:8)?,The Gemara answers: This verse serves b to /b teach the statement b as /b taught b by Rav Ḥina bar Pappa, for Rav Ḥina bar Pappa says: The Holy One, Blessed be He, does not punish a nation /b deserving of punishment b until its time to be banished, /b i.e., until the time of its final eradication from the world, b as it is stated: “In full measure, when you send her away, /b you contend with her” (Isaiah 27:8)., b Is that so? But didn’t Rava say: Why /b are there specifically b three cups /b of misfortune b that are stated with regard to Egypt /b in the dream of its chief butler (see Genesis 40:11–13)? They are an allusion to three cups of misfortune that would later befall Egypt: b One that it drank in the days of Moses /b during the ten plagues and the Exodus; b one that it drank in the days of Pharaoh Neco, /b the king of Egypt who was defeated by Nebuchadnezzar; b and one that it will drink in the future with its companions, /b i.e., the other nations, when they are punished during the days of the Messiah. This indicates that nations can be punished several times, not only when they are eradicated., b And if you would say /b that b those /b ancient Egyptians, b have gone, and these /b later Egyptians b are different ones, but isn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i in the i Tosefta /i ( i Kiddushin /i 4:3): b Rabbi Yehuda said: Minyamin, an Egyptian convert, was a friend of mine from among the students of Rabbi Akiva, /b and b Minyamin the Egyptian convert said: /b After I converted b I /b was b a first- /b generation b Egyptian /b convert, b and /b so b I married /b another b first- /b generation b Egyptian /b convert. b I will marry off my son, /b who is b a second- /b generation Egyptian convert, b to /b another b second- /b generation b Egyptian /b convert, b in order that my son’s son will be permitted to enter into the congregation. /b The Torah prohibits Egyptian converts before the third generation to enter into the congregation (see Deuteronomy 23:8–9). By Minyamin’s observance of this prohibition even during the time of Rabbi Akiva, it indicates that Egypt during the tannaitic period was still viewed as biblical Egypt., b Rather, if /b anything b was stated /b with regard to the delay of punishment, it b was stated like this: Rav Ḥina bar Pappa says: The Holy One, Blessed be He, does not punish /b a sinful b king until his time to be banished, as it is stated: “In full measure, when you send her away, you contend with her” /b (Isaiah 27:8)., b Ameimar teaches that /b statement b of Rav Ḥina bar Pappa with regard to this: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “For I the Lord change not; and you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed” /b (Malachi 3:6)? b “For I the Lord change [ i shaniti /i ] not” /b is interpreted to mean: b I did not strike a nation and repeat [ i shaniti /i ] /b striking b it, /b as a stricken nation never recovers from the initial strike. b “And you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed,” /b is interpreted to mean: Despite the fact that I strike you many times for your sins, I do not let you perish. b This is /b the same b as that which is written: /b “I will heap evils upon them; b I will consume My arrows upon them” /b (Deuteronomy 32:23), which is interpreted to mean: b My arrows are consumed /b and used up, b and they, /b the Jewish people, b are not consumed /b but will continue to endure despite the many calamities that will befall them., b Rav Hamnuna says: The Holy One, Blessed be He, does not punish a person until his i se’a /i , /b the measure that is suitable for him, b is filled, as it is stated: “In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; /b the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him” (Job 20:22). In other words, when the sufficient measure of sin has been reached, then the trouble will overtake him.,Having mentioned Rav Ḥina bar Pappa, the Gemara quotes another of his interpretations. b Rav Ḥina bar Pappa interpreted /b a verse b homiletically: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, praise is comely for the upright [ i nava tehilla /i ]” /b (Psalms 33:1)? b Do not read /b the conclusion of the verse as: b Praise is comely [ i nava /i ]; rather, /b read it as: b A house [ i naveh /i ] of praise. This /b is referring to b Moses and David, whose enemies did not rule over their achievements, /b as they each built a i naveh /i , a house for the Lord, and this house remained in existence.,With regard to b David, /b the citadel that housed his home and city, was not destroyed, b as it is written: “Her gates are sunk into the ground” /b (Lamentations 2:9), as the gates of Jerusalem built by David were not destroyed by enemies, but sunk into the ground and were buried there. This is also so with regard to b Moses, as the Master said: When the first Temple was built, the Tent of Meeting was sequestered, /b including b its boards, its clasps, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets. /b The Gemara asks: b Where /b is it sequestered? b Rav Ḥisda says /b that b Avimi says: Beneath the tunnels of the Sanctuary. /b ,§ b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i in the i Tosefta /i (4:16–19): The b i sota /i placed her eyes, /b fixed her gaze, b on one who is unfit for her, /b i.e., another man, so this is her punishment: b That which she desired, /b i.e., to be with her paramour, b is not given to her, /b as she becomes forbidden to him forever. b And that which she had, /b i.e., her husband, b was taken away from her, /b as she is now forbidden to him as well. This teaches b that anyone who places his eyes on that which is not his is not given what he desires, and that which he had is taken from him. /b |

Hezekiah and his colleagues wrote /b the following, and b a mnemonic /b to remember which books they wrote is b i yod /i , i mem /i , i shin /i , i kuf /i : Isaiah [ i Yeshaya /i ], Proverbs [ i Mishlei /i ], Song of Songs [ i Shir HaShirim /i ], and Ecclesiastes [ i Kohelet /i ]. The members of the Great Assembly wrote /b the following, and b a mnemonic /b to remember these books is b i kuf /i , i nun /i , i dalet /i , i gimmel /i : Ezekiel [ i Yeḥezkel /i ], and the Twelve Prophets [ i Sheneim Asar /i ], Daniel /b [ b i Daniel /i /b ], b and the Scroll of Esther [ i Megillat Ester /i ]. Ezra wrote his own book and the genealogy of /b the book of b Chronicles until his /b period.,The Gemara comments: This b supports Rav, as Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: Ezra did not ascend from Babylonia /b to Eretz Yisrael b until he established his own genealogy, and /b after that he b ascended. /b This genealogy is what is written in the book of Chronicles. b And who completed /b the book of Chronicles for the generations following Ezra? b Nehemiah, son of Hacaliah. /b ,The Gemara elaborates on the particulars of this i baraita /i : b The Master said /b above that b Joshua wrote his own book and eight verses of the Torah. /b The Gemara comments: This i baraita /i b is taught in accordance with the one who says that /b it was b Joshua /b who b wrote the /b last b eight verses in the Torah. /b This point is subject to a tannaitic dispute, b as it is taught /b in another i baraita /i : b “And Moses the servant of the Lord died there” /b (Deuteronomy 34:5); b is it possible that /b after b Moses died, he /b himself b wrote “And Moses died there”? Rather, Moses wrote /b the entire Torah b until this point, /b and b Joshua wrote from this /b point b forward; /b this is b the statement of Rabbi Yehuda. And some say /b that b Rabbi Neḥemya /b stated this opinion., b Rabbi Shimon said to him: Is it possible /b that the b Torah scroll was missing a single letter? But it is written: “Take this Torah scroll” /b (Deuteronomy 31:26), indicating that the Torah was complete as is and that nothing further would be added to it. b Rather, until this point the Holy One, Blessed be He, dictated and Moses repeated /b after Him b and wrote /b the text. b From this /b point b forward, /b with respect to Moses’ death, b the Holy One, Blessed be He, dictated and Moses wrote with tears. /b The fact that the Torah was written by way of dictation can be seen b later, as it is stated /b concerning the writing of the Prophets: b “And Baruch said to them: He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink in the scroll” /b (Jeremiah 36:18).,The Gemara asks: b In accordance with whose /b opinion b is that which Rabbi Yehoshua bar Abba says /b that b Rav Giddel says /b that b Rav says: /b When the Torah is read publicly in the synagogue, b one /b person b reads the /b last b eight verses in the Torah, /b and that section may not be divided between two readers? b Shall we say /b that b this is /b in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda and not in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Shimon, /b as according to Rabbi Shimon these verses are an integral part of the Torah, written by Moses just like the rest? The Gemara answers: b Even /b if b you say /b that this was said in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Shimon, since they differ /b from the rest of the Torah in one way, as Moses wrote them with tears, b they differ /b from the rest of the Torah in this way as well, i.e., they may not be divided between two readers.,It is stated in the i baraita /i that b Joshua wrote his own book. /b The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it written /b toward the end of the book: b “And Joshua, son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died” /b (Joshua 24:29)? Is it possible that Joshua wrote this? The Gemara answers: Aaron’s son b Eleazar completed it. /b The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it /b also b written: “And Eleazar, son of Aaron, died” /b (Joshua 24:33)? The Gemara answers: b Pinehas completed it. /b ,It is also stated in the i baraita /i that b Samuel wrote his own book. /b The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it written: “And Samuel died” /b (I Samuel 28:3)? The Gemara answers: b Gad the seer and Nathan the prophet finished it. /b ,It is further stated that b David wrote the book of Psalms by means of ten elders, /b whom the i baraita /i proceeds to list. The Gemara asks: b But /b then b let it also count Ethan the Ezrahite /b among the contributors to the book of Psalms, as it is he who is credited with Psalms, chapter 89. b Rav says: Ethan the Ezrahite is /b the same person as b Abraham. /b Proof for this is the fact that b it is written here: /b “A Maskil of b Ethan the Ezrahite” /b (Psalms 89:1), b and it is written there: “Who raised up one from the east [ i mizraḥ /i ], whom righteousness /b met wherever he set his foot” (Isaiah 41:2). The latter verse is understood as referring to Abraham, who came from the east, and for that reason he is called Ethan the Ezrahite in the former verse.,The Gemara asks: The i baraita /i b counts Moses /b among the ten elders whose works are included in the book of Psalms, b and it /b also b counts Heman. But doesn’t Rav say: /b The b Heman /b mentioned in the Bible (I Kings 5:11) b is /b the same person as b Moses? /b This is proven by the fact that b it is written here: “Heman” /b (Psalms 88:1), which is Aramaic for trusted, b and it is written there /b about Moses: b “For he is the trusted one in all My house” /b (Numbers 12:7). The Gemara answers: b There were two Hemans, /b one of whom was Moses, and the other a Temple singer from among the descendants of Samuel.,The i baraita /i further states that b Moses wrote his own book, /b i.e., the Torah, b the portion of Balaam, and /b the book of b Job. This supports Rabbi Levi bar Laḥma, as Rabbi Levi bar Laḥma says: Job /b lived b in the time of Moses. It is written here /b with regard to Job: b “Oh, that my words were written now [ i eifo /i ]” /b (Job 19:23), b and it is written there /b in Moses’ words to God: b “For in what shall it be known here [ i eifo /i ]” /b (Exodus 33:16). The unusual use of the word i eifo /i in these two places indicates that Job and Moses lived in the same generation.,The Gemara comments: b But /b if that is the proof, b say /b that Job lived b in the time of Isaac, as it is written /b in connection with Isaac: b “Who then [ i eifo /i ] is he that has taken venison” /b (Genesis 27:33). b Or say /b that he lived b in the time of Jacob, as it is written /b with respect to Jacob: b “If it must be so now [ i eifo /i ], do this” /b (Genesis 43:11). b Or say /b that he lived b in the time of Joseph, as it is written /b with respect to Joseph: “Tell me, I pray you, b where [ i eifo /i ] are they feeding their flocks?” /b (Genesis 37:16).,The Gemara answers: It could b not enter your mind /b to say this, b as it is written /b in the continuation of the previously mentioned verse: b “Oh, that /b my words b were inscribed [ i veyuḥaku /i ] in a book” /b (Job 19:23), b and it is Moses who is called the inscriber, as it is written /b with regard to him: b “And he provided the first part for himself, for there was the inscriber’s [ i meḥokek /i ] portion reserved” /b (Deuteronomy 33:21)., b Rava says: Job /b lived b at the time of the spies /b whom Moses sent to scout the land of Canaan. This is proven by the fact that b it is written here: “There was a man in the land of Utz, whose name was Job” /b (Job 1:1), b and it is written there /b in the account of the spies: b “Whether there are trees [ i eitz /i ] in it” /b (Numbers 13:20). The Gemara asks: b Is it comparable? Here /b the word that is used is b i Utz /i , /b whereas b there /b the word is b i eitz /i . /b The Gemara answers: b This is what Moses said to Israel, /b i.e., to the spies: b Is that man /b named Job still alive, b he whose years are as long as /b the years b of a tree and who protects his generation like a tree? /b This is why the allusion to him here is through the word i eitz /i , rather than i Utz /i .,The Gemara relates that b one of the Sages sat before Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥmani and he sat and said: Job never existed and was never created; /b there was never such a person as Job. b Rather, /b his story b was a parable. /b Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥmani b said to him: /b In rebuttal b to you, the verse states: “There was a man in the Land of Utz whose name was Job” /b (Job 1:1), which indicates that such a man did indeed exist.,The Gemara asks: b But if that is so, /b that the words “there was” prove that Job existed, what shall we say about the parable that Natan the prophet presented to David: “There were two men in one city; the one rich and the other poor. The rich man had very many flocks and herds, b but the poor man had nothing except one little lamb, which he had bought and reared” /b (II Samuel 12:3)? b Was there /b really such a person? b Rather, it was merely a parable; here too it is merely a parable. /b The Gemara answers: b If so, /b that it is a parable, b why /b state b his name and the name of his city? /b Rather, Job was clearly a real person.,The Gemara cites another opinion with regard to the time when Job lived. b Rabbi Yoḥa and Rabbi Elazar both say: Job was among those who ascended from the exile /b to Eretz Yisrael at the start of the Second Temple period, b and his house of study was in Tiberias. /b The Gemara b raises an objection /b from what is taught in a i baraita /i : b The days of Job’s life /b extended b from when Israel entered Egypt until they left, /b indicating that this is the period during which he lived and not, as suggested, in the early days of the Second Temple. |

The i tanna /i b said to him: Should I delete /b this i baraita /i because it is corrupted?,Rabbi Yitzḥak bar Abba b said to him: No, this is what /b the i baraita /i is b saying: /b For an oath taken concerning b sacrificial /b animals b for which one bears responsibility, /b one is b liable /b to bring an offering for a false oath, b as it is included /b due to the phrase b “against the Lord, and deals falsely.” /b It is derived from this that one is liable for taking a false oath even with regard to an item which belongs, to a certain degree, to the Lord. b And /b with regard to b sacrificial /b animals b for which one does not bear responsibility, /b one is b exempt, as it is excluded /b by the phrase: b With his neighbor and deals falsely. /b It is derived from this that one is liable to bring an offering for a false oath only if it pertained to property that belongs to a layman, i.e., his neighbor, but not for an item that belongs completely to God, as is the case with regard to sacrificial animals for which one does not bear responsibility.,§ The mishna teaches: b Rabbi Yehuda says: Even /b in the case of b one who sells a Torah scroll, a pearl, or an animal, /b those items b are not /b subject to the i halakhot /i of b exploitation. It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yehuda says: Even /b in the case of b one who sells a Torah scroll, /b it b is not /b subject to the i halakhot /i of b exploitation, as there is no limit to its value. /b It is the Torah of God, which is priceless. b An animal and a pearl are not /b subject to the i halakhot /i of b exploitation because a person seeks to pair them. /b An animal is paired with an animal of similar strength so that they can be yoked together to work in the field. A pearl is paired with a similar pearl to fashion jewelry. Since there is a need to obtain a specific variant of these items, one is not particular about the price.,The i baraita /i continues: The Rabbis b said to him: But isn’t /b it the case that with regard to b every item, a person seeks to pair /b them with similar items under certain circumstances? According to your explanation, the i halakhot /i of exploitation would never apply. The Gemara asks: b And /b what does b Rabbi Yehuda /b respond to that question? He claims that b these are significant to /b a person, b but those are not significant to him. /b In other words, it is particularly important to find a precise match for an animal and a pearl. The Gemara continues to analyze Rabbi Yehuda’s opinion. b And up to how much /b can one deviate from the value of items for which exploitation does not apply, as Rabbi Yehuda is clearly not saying that any deviation is acceptable? b Ameimar said: /b One can deviate b up to /b double b their value. /b , b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yehuda ben Beteira says: Even /b in the case b one who sells a horse, or a sword, or a helmet [ i veḥatitom /i ] during wartime, /b these items b are not /b subject to the i halakhot /i of b exploitation, because they /b then b have /b the capacity to preserve b life, /b and a person is willing to pay any price for them., strong MISHNA: /strong b Just as /b there is a prohibition against b exploitation [ i ona’a /i ] in buying and selling, so is there i ona’a /i in statements, /b i.e., verbal mistreatment. The mishna proceeds to cite examples of verbal mistreatment. b One may not say to /b a seller: b For how much /b are you selling b this item, if he does not wish to purchase /b it. He thereby upsets the seller when the deal fails to materialize. The mishna lists other examples: b If one is a penitent, /b another b may not say to him: Remember your earlier deeds. If one is the child of converts, /b another b may not say to him: Remember the deeds of your ancestors, as it is stated: “And a convert shall you neither mistreat, nor shall you oppress him” /b (Exodus 22:20)., strong GEMARA: /strong b The Sages taught: /b It is written: b “And you shall not mistreat [ i tonu /i ] one man his colleague; /b and you shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God” (Leviticus 25:17). The i tanna /i explains: b The verse is speaking with regard to verbal mistreatment. /b The i baraita /i proceeds: Do b you say /b that it is speaking of b verbal mistreatment [ i be’ona’at devarim /i ], or /b perhaps b it is /b speaking b only with regard to monetary exploitation [ i be’ona’at mammon /i ]? When it says /b in a previous verse: b “And if you sell to your colleague an item that is sold, or acquire from your colleague’s hand, /b you shall not exploit [ i tonu /i ] his brother” (Leviticus 25:14), b monetary exploitation is /b explicitly b stated. How /b then b do I realize /b the meaning of the verse: b “And you shall not mistreat one man his colleague”? /b It is b with regard to verbal mistreatment. /b , b How so? If one is a penitent, /b another b may not say to him: Remember your earlier deeds. If one is the child of converts, /b another b may not say to him: Remember the deed of your ancestors. If one is a convert and /b he b came to study Torah, /b one b may not say to him: /b Does the b mouth that ate unslaughtered carcasses and animals that had wounds that would have caused them to die within twelve months [ i tereifot /i ], /b and b repugt creatures, and creeping animals, comes to study Torah that was stated from the mouth of the Almighty? /b , b If torments are afflicting /b a person, b if illnesses are afflicting him, or if he is burying his children, /b one b may not speak to him in the manner that /b the b friends of Job spoke to him: “Is not your fear of God your confidence, and your hope the integrity of your ways? Remember, I beseech you, whoever perished, being innocent?” /b (Job 4:6–7). Certainly you sinned, as otherwise you would not have suffered misfortune.,Likewise, b if donkey drivers are asking /b to purchase b grain from /b someone, and he has none, b he may not say to them: Go to so-and-so, as he sells grain, if he knows about him that he never sold /b grain at all. He thereby causes the donkey drivers and the would-be seller anguish. b Rabbi Yehuda says: One may not even cast his eyes on the merchandise /b for sale, creating the impression that he is interested, b at a time when he does not have money /b to purchase it. Verbal mistreatment is not typically obvious, and it is difficult to ascertain the intent of the offender, b as the matter is given to the heart /b of each individual, as only he knows what his intention was when he spoke. b And with regard to any matter given to the heart, it is stated: “And you shall fear your God” /b (Leviticus 25:17), as God is privy to the intent of the heart., b Rabbi Yoḥa says in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai: Greater is /b the transgression of b verbal mistreatment than /b the transgression of b monetary exploitation, as with regard to this, /b verbal mistreatment, b it is stated: “And you shall fear your God.” But with regard to that, /b monetary exploitation, b it is not stated: “And you shall fear your God.” And Rabbi Elazar said /b this explanation: b This, /b verbal mistreatment, affects b one’s body; but that, /b monetary exploitation, affects b one’s money. Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥmani says: This, /b monetary exploitation, b is given to restitution; but that, /b verbal mistreatment, b is not given to restitution. /b ,The Gemara relates that b the i tanna /i /b who recited i mishnayot /i and i baraitot /i in the study hall b taught /b a i baraita /i b before Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak: Anyone who humiliates another in public, it is as though he were spilling blood. /b Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak b said to him: You have spoken well, as we see that /b after the humiliated person blushes, b the red leaves /b his face b and pallor comes /b in its place, which is tantamount to spilling his blood. b Abaye said to Rav Dimi: In the West, /b i.e., Eretz Yisrael, b with regard to what /b mitzva b are they /b particularly b vigilant? /b Rav Dimi b said to him: /b They are vigilant b in /b refraining from b humiliating /b others, b as Rabbi Ḥanina says: Everyone descends to Gehenna except for three. /b ,The Gemara asks: b Does it enter your mind /b that b everyone /b descends to Gehenna? b Rather, say: Anyone who descends to Gehenna /b ultimately b ascends, except for three who descend and do not ascend, and these are they: One who engages in intercourse with a married woman, /b as this transgression is a serious offense against both God and a person; b and one who humiliates another in public; and one who calls /b another b a derogatory name. /b The Gemara asks with regard to b one who calls /b another a derogatory name: b That is /b identical to b one who shames /b him; why are they listed separately? The Gemara answers: b Although /b the victim b grew accustomed to /b being called that name b in /b place of b his name, /b and he is no longer humiliated by being called that name, since the intent was to insult him, the perpetrator’s punishment is severe., b Rabba bar bar Ḥana says /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b |

The Gemara explains: b And /b the fact b that /b Ursa Major b follows /b Pleiades, it is as if Ursa Major b is saying /b to Pleiades: b Give me /b back b my children, /b my two stars. As it is related: b When the Holy One, Blessed be He, sought to bring a flood into the world, He took two stars from Pleiades and brought the flood upon the world. And /b afterward, b when He wished to fill /b the void, b He took two stars from Ursa Major and filled /b the void with them. Consequently, the constellation of Ursa Major attempts to persuade Pleiades, seeking to get its stars back.,The Gemara asks: b And return it, /b why did the Holy One, Blessed be He, not restore the original two stars to Pleiades? The Gemara answers: b A pit cannot be filled by its own earth; /b when a pit is excavated, the earth that was excavated from it is insufficient to refill it. b Alternatively, /b one could say that b a prosecutor cannot become an advocate; /b since these stars caused the flood it is not appropriate that they facilitate the end of the flood.,The Gemara argues: b Then /b God should have b created two other /b new b stars /b for Pleiades. The Gemara responds: b “There is nothing new under the sun” /b (Ecclesiastes 1:9). b Rav Naḥman said: /b In the b future, the Holy One, Blessed be He, will restore /b those same stars b to /b Ursa Major, b as it is stated: “Or can you guide [ i tanḥem /i ] Ursa /b Major b with her sons?” /b (Job 38:32), which is interpreted homiletically in the sense of consolation [ i tanḥumim /i ] apparently due to the restoration of those stars., b And /b we learned in the mishna that b over i zeva’ot /i /b one recites the blessing: Whose strength and power fill the world. The Gemara asks: b What /b are b i zeva’ot /i ? Rav Ketina said: An earthquake. /b The Gemara relates: b Rav Ketina was once walking along the road when he came to the entrance of the house of a necromancer and an earthquake rumbled. He said: Does this necromancer know what is this earthquake? /b The necromancer b raised his voice /b and said: b Ketina, Ketina, why would I not know? /b Certainly this earthquake occurred because b when the Holy One, Blessed be He, remembers His children who are suffering among the nations of the world, He sheds two tears into the great sea. The sound /b of their reverberation b is heard from one end of the earth to the other. And that is an earthquake. /b , b Rav Ketina said: The necromancer is a liar and his statements are lies. If so, it would necessitate an earthquake /b followed by another b earthquake, /b one for each tear. The Gemara remarks: b That is not so, /b as it indeed b causes an earthquake /b followed by another b earthquake; and the fact /b that Rav Ketina b did not admit that /b the necromancer was correct was b so that everyone would not mistakenly follow him. /b , b Rav Ketina also stated his own /b explanation for the earthquake: Because God b claps His hands /b together in anger, b as it is stated: “I will also smite My hands together and I will satisfy My fury; /b I, the Lord, have spoken it” (Ezekiel 21:22). b Rabbi Natan says: /b The earthquake is caused because God b sighs /b over the dire straits in which Israel finds itself, b as it is stated: /b “Thus shall My anger spend itself, b and I will satisfy My fury upon them, and I will be eased” /b (Ezekiel 5:13). b And the Rabbis say: /b An earthquake is caused when God b kicks the firmament, /b causing a rumbling, b as it is stated: /b “The Lord roars from on high, from His holy dwelling He makes His voice heard. He roars mightily over His dwelling place, b He cries out like those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth” /b (Jeremiah 25:30). b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov said: /b An earthquake is caused when God b forces His feet beneath the throne of glory /b and the world quakes, b as it is stated: “The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool” /b (Isaiah 66:1).,We b also /b learned in the mishna that b over thunder /b one recites: Whose strength and power fill the world. The Gemara asks: b What /b causes b thunder? Shmuel said: /b When the b clouds /b located b in the curvature /b of the firmament collide with the firmament itself, they produce this sound, b as it is stated: “The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightning lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook” /b (Psalms 77:19). b And the Rabbis say: /b Thunder is the sound of b clouds pouring water into one another, as it is stated: “At the sound of His giving a multitude of waters in the heavens” /b (Jeremiah 10:13). b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov said: /b Thunder is caused by b a powerful lightning bolt that flashes in the cloud and shatters the hailstones. Rav Ashi said: /b Because the b clouds are hollow, and /b when b the wind comes and blows across their mouths, /b it sounds like b wind blowing in the mouth of a jug. /b The Gemara concludes: b And it stands to reason in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov; as lightning flashes, the clouds rumble, and the rain comes. /b ,We b also /b learned in the mishna b that over wind /b one recites the blessing: Whose strength and power fill the world. The Gemara asks: b What are /b these b winds? Abaye said: /b These are b gale force winds. Abaye said: We learned /b through tradition b that there are no gale force winds at night. /b The Gemara asks: b Don’t we see that there are /b gale force winds at night? The Gemara answers: b This /b gale force wind that blows at night does not begin blowing at night; rather, it b begins /b blowing b during the day. And Abaye said: We learned /b through tradition b that a gale force wind does not last two hours, to fulfill that which is stated: “Trouble shall not rise up a second time” /b (Nahum 1:9). The Gemara asks: b Don’t we see that it does last /b longer than two hours? The Gemara answers: Actually, it does not last longer than two hours. The fact that we sense that it does last longer is due to cases where it does not blow uninterruptedly, but b it /b briefly b stops in between. /b ,We b also /b learned in the mishna that b over lightning one recites: Blessed…Whose strength and power fill the world. /b The Gemara asks: b What is /b this b lightning? Rava said: /b A b bright light. And Rava said: A single /b bolt of b lightning, white lightning, green lightning, clouds that rise in the western corner and come from the southern corner, and two clouds that rise with one facing the other are all /b signs of b trouble. /b ,The Gemara asks: b What practical difference /b is there in the knowledge that they are signs of trouble? The Gemara answers: So that we may b pray for God’s mercy, /b that they cause us no harm. The Gemara remarks that b this only applies /b when these phenomena appear b at night. In the morning, however, they are insignificant. /b , b Rabbi Shmuel bar Yitzḥak said: Morning clouds /b dissipate immediately so they b have no substance, as it is written: “For your goodness is as a morning cloud, /b and as the dew that early passes away” (Hosea 6:4). With regard to this, b Rav Pappa said to Abaye: But /b don’t b people say /b the maxim: b If there is rain when people open their doors /b in the morning, b donkey-driver, fold your sack and go to sleep, /b as rain will continue to fall all day. Apparently morning clouds indicate that there will be rain all day. The Gemara responds: This is b not difficult, /b as b this, /b that suggests that there will be considerable rain, refers to a case where the sky is b covered with thick clouds, /b while b this /b opinion, where Rabbi Shmuel bar Yitzḥak said that morning clouds have no substance and will not produce much rain, refers to a case where the sky is b covered with flimsy clouds /b which will certainly pass., b Rabbi Alexandri said /b that b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: Thunder was created only /b to impose fear and b straighten the crookedness of the heart, as it is stated: “And God has so made it, that men should fear before Him” /b (Ecclesiastes 3:14). b And Rabbi Alexandri said /b that b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: One who sees a rainbow in a cloud must fall upon his face, as it is stated: “As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud /b in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. b And when I saw it, I fell upon my face” /b (Ezekiel 1:28). The colors of the rainbow symbolize the glory of God and one may not stare at them. Yet, b in the West, /b Eretz Yisrael, b they would curse /b one who fell upon his face when seeing a rainbow b because it appears as one who is bowing to the rainbow. /b As far as b blessing /b is concerned, b however, /b all agree that b one certainly recites a blessing. What /b blessing b does one recite? Blessed…Who remembers the covet /b with Noah. b It was taught in a i baraita /i /b that b Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yoḥa ben Beroka, says /b that the blessing is: Blessed… b Who is faithful to His covet and fulfills His word. Rav Pappa said: Therefore we will say them both /b combined: b Blessed…Who remembers the covet and is faithful to His covet and fulfills His word. /b ,We learned in the mishna that b over mountains and hills /b one recites: Blessed…Author of creation. The Gemara asks: b Is that to say that all those that we mentioned until now, /b such as lightning, b are not acts of creation? /b Among God’s praise for creation of the world and forming the mountains, b is it not /b also b written: “He makes lightning for the rain” /b (Psalms 135:7)? b Abaye said: Combine /b the two statements and b teach that /b in all the cases in our mishna, one recites these two blessings. b Rava said: There, /b over lightning and thunder, b one recites two /b blessings: b Blessed…Whose power fills the world, and: Author of creation. Here, /b however, over mountains and hills, b one /b recites the blessing: b Author of creation, /b but b need not /b recite: b Whose power fills the world. /b , b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: One who sees the firmament in its purity recites: Blessed…Author of creation. /b The Gemara asks: b When /b does the firmament appear in its purity? b Abaye said: When rain /b falls b all night and in the morning a northern wind blows, exposing the heavens. /b ,The Gemara notes: b And /b in this they b disagree with Rafram bar Pappa /b who said that b Rav Ḥisda said, as Rafram bar Pappa said /b that b Rav Ḥisda said: Since the day the Temple was destroyed the firmament has not been seen in its purity, as it is said: “I clothe the heavens with blackness and I make sackcloth their covering” /b (Isaiah 50:3). |

The Sages said to Rava: Master, you are not subject to /b His b hiding /b of the b face, /b as your prayers are heard, b and you are not subject to: “And they shall be devoured,” /b as the authorities take nothing from you. b He said to them: Do you know how many /b gifts b I send in private to the house of King Shapur? /b Although it might seem that the monarchy does not take anything from me, in actuality I am forced to give many bribes. b Even so, the Sages looked upon /b Rava with suspicion. b In the meantime, /b messengers b from the house of King Shapur sent /b for him b and imprisoned him /b to extort more money from him. Rava b said: This is as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said: Wherever the Sages looked upon /b someone, it resulted in b either death or poverty. /b ,With regard to the verse: b “And I will hide my face in that day” /b (Deuteronomy 31:18), b Rava said /b that b the Holy One, Blessed be He, said: Even though I hid my face from them /b and My Divine Presence is not revealed, nevertheless: b “I speak with him in a dream” /b (Numbers 12:6). b Rav Yosef said: His hand is outstretched, /b guarding b over us, as it is stated: “And I have covered you in the shadow of my hand” /b (Isaiah 51:16).,The Gemara relates: b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Ḥaya was standing in /b the b house of the Caesar. A certain heretic, /b who was also present, b gestured to him, /b indicating that his was b the nation whose Master, /b God, b turned His face /b away b from it. /b Rabbi Yehoshua b gestured to him /b that b His hand is outstretched over us /b in protection. b The Caesar said to Rabbi Yehoshua: What did he gesture to you, /b and how did you respond? He replied: He indicated that mine is b the nation whose Master turned His face from it, and I gestured to him /b that b His hand is outstretched over us. /b ,The members of the Caesar’s household b said to that heretic: What did you gesture to him? /b He said to them: I gestured that his is b the nation whose Master has turned /b His face b from it. /b They asked: b And what did he gesture to you? /b He said to them: b I don’t know; /b I did not understand. b They said: /b How can b a man who does not know what /b others b gesture to him /b dare to b gesture in the presence of the king? They took him out and killed him. /b ,The Gemara relates: b When Rabbi Yehoshua ben Ḥaya was dying, the Sages said to him: What will become of us, from /b the threat of b the heretics, /b when there is no scholar like you who can refute them? b He said to them /b that the verse states: “Is wisdom no more in Teiman? b Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?” /b (Jeremiah 49:7). He explained: b Since counsel has perished from the prudent, /b from the Jewish people, the b wisdom of the nations of the world has vanished /b as well, and there will be no superior scholars among them., b And if you wish, say /b instead that the same idea can be derived b from here: “And he said: Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go corresponding to you” /b (Genesis 33:12). Just as the Jewish people rise and fall, so too, the nations of the world simultaneously rise and fall, and they will never have an advantage.,The Gemara relates that b Rabbi Ila was ascending the stairs in the house of Rabba bar Sheila, /b a children’s teacher. b He heard a child who was reading /b a verse out loud: b “For, lo, He Who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his speech” /b (Amos 4:13). Rabbi Ila b said: /b With regard to b a servant whose master declares to him what is his /b proper b speech, is there a remedy for him? /b The Gemara asks. b What /b is the meaning of the phrase: b “What is his speech”? Rav said: Even frivolous speech that is between a man and his wife /b before engaging in relations b is declared to a person at the time of death, /b and he will have to account for it.,The Gemara asks: b Is that so? /b Is it prohibited for a man to speak in this manner with his wife? b Wasn’t Rav Kahana lying beneath Rav’s bed, and he heard /b Rav b chatting and laughing /b with his wife, b and performing his needs, /b i.e., having relations with her. Rav Kahana b said /b out loud: b The mouth of Rav is like /b one who b has never eaten a cooked dish, /b i.e., his behavior is lustful. Rav b said to him: Kahana, leave, as /b this is b not proper conduct. /b This shows that Rav himself engaged in frivolous talk before relations.,The Gemara answers: This is b not difficult. Here, /b where this type of speech is permitted, it is referring to a situation b where he must appease /b his wife before relations, and therefore this speech is appropriate. However, b this /b statement, that it is prohibited, is referring to a situation b where he doesn’t need to appease her. /b In these circumstances, it is prohibited to engage in excessively lighthearted chatter with one’s wife.,The verse states: b “But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret [ i bemistarim /i ] for your pride” /b (Jeremiah 13:17). b Rav Shmuel bar Inya said in the name of Rav: The Holy One, Blessed be He, has a place /b where He cries, b and its name is Mistarim. What /b is the meaning of b “for your pride”? Rav Shmuel bar Yitzḥak said: /b God cries b due to the pride of the Jewish people, which was taken from them and given to /b the gentile b nations. Rav Shmuel bar Naḥmani said: /b He cries b due to the pride of the kingdom of Heaven, /b which was removed from the world.,The Gemara asks: b But is there crying before the Holy One, Blessed be He? Didn’t Rav Pappa say: There is no sadness before the Holy One, Blessed be He, as it is stated: “Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place” /b (I Chronicles 16:27)? The Gemara responds: This is b not difficult. This /b statement, that God cries, is referring to b the innermost chambers, /b where He can cry in secret, whereas b this /b statement, that He does not cry, is referring to b the outer chambers. /b ,The Gemara asks: b And doesn’t /b God cry b in the outer chambers? Isn’t it written: “And on that day the Lord, the God of hosts, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth” /b (Isaiah 22:12)? The Gemara responds: b The destruction of the Temple is different, as even the angels of peace cried, as it is stated: “Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the angels of peace weep bitterly” /b (Isaiah 33:7).,The verse continues: b “And my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord’s flock is carried away captive” /b (Jeremiah 13:17). b Rabbi Elazar said: Why these three /b references to b tears /b in the verse? b One /b is b for the First Temple; one /b is b for the Second Temple; and one /b is b for the Jewish people who were exiled from their place. And there are /b those b who say: /b The last b one /b is b for /b the unavoidable b dereliction /b of the study of b Torah /b in the wake of the exile.,The Gemara asks: b Granted, according to the one who said /b that the last tear is b for the Jewish people who were exiled, this is as it is written: “Because the Lord’s flock is carried away captive.” However, according to the one who said /b that this tear is b for the dereliction /b of the study of b Torah, what /b is the meaning of: b “Because the Lord’s flock is carried away captive”? /b The Gemara answers: b Since the Jewish people were exiled from their place, there is no greater /b involuntary b dereliction /b of the study of b Torah than /b that which was caused by b this. /b , b The Sages taught /b that there are b three /b types of people b for whom the Holy One, Blessed be He, cries every day: For /b one b who is able to engage in Torah /b study b and does not engage /b in it; b and for /b one b who is unable to engage in Torah /b study and nevertheless he endeavors and b engages /b in it; b and for a leader who lords over the community. /b ,The Gemara relates: b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b was holding /b the b book of Lamentations and was reading from it. When he reached the verse: “He has cast down from heaven to earth /b the beauty of Israel” (Lamentations 2:1), in his distress the book b fell from his hand. He said: From a high roof to a deep pit, /b i.e., it is terrible to tumble from the sky to the ground.,§ The Gemara relates: b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b and Rabbi Ḥiyya were walking along the road. When they arrived at a certain city, they said: Is there a Torah scholar here whom we /b can b go and greet? /b The people of the city b said: There is a Torah scholar here but he is blind. Rabbi Ḥiyya said to Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi: b You sit /b here; b do not demean your /b dignified status as b i Nasi /i /b to visit someone beneath your stature. b I will go and greet him. /b ,Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi b grabbed him and went with him /b anyway, and together they greeted the blind scholar. b When they were leaving him, he said to them: You greeted /b one who is b seen and does not see; may you be worthy to greet /b the One Who b sees and is not seen. /b Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi b said to /b Rabbi Ḥiyya: b Now, if /b I had listened to you and not gone to greet him, b you would have prevented me from receiving this blessing. /b , b They said to /b the blind scholar: b From whom did you hear /b that we are worthy of this blessing? He said to them: b I heard /b it b from the instruction of Rabbi Ya’akov, as Rabbi Ya’akov of the village of Ḥitiyya would greet his teacher every day. When /b Rabbi Ya’akov b grew elderly, /b his teacher b said to him: Do not despair, my Master, that my Master is unable /b to make the effort to greet me. It is better that you should not visit me.,Rabbi Ya’akov b said to him: Is it /b a b minor /b matter, b that which is written about the Sages: “That he should still live always, that he should not see the pit. For he sees that wise men die” /b (Psalms 49:10–11)? In this regard an i a fortiori /i reference applies: b Just as one who sees Sages in their death will live, all the more so /b one who sees them b in their lifetime. /b From here the blind scholar learned the importance of greeting Torah scholars, which is why he blessed the Sages who came to greet him.,The Gemara relates: b Rav Idi, father of Rabbi Ya’akov bar Idi, would regularly travel three months on the road /b to reach the study hall b and /b as he would immediately travel back again to arrive home for the festival of i Sukkot /i , he spent only b one day in the school of Rav. And the Sages would /b disparagingly b call him: A student /b of Torah b for one day. He was offended /b and b read /b the following verse b about himself: “I am as one that is a laughingstock to his neighbor, /b a man who calls upon God, and He answers him” (Job 12:4). b Rabbi Yoḥa said to him: Please do not punish the Sages, /b i.e., do not take offense and be harsh with them, as this will cause them to be punished by God., b Rabbi Yoḥa left /b Rav Idi and went b to the study hall and taught: “Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways” /b (Isaiah 58:2). b But is /b it possible that only b during the day they seek Him and at night they do not seek Him? /b What is the meaning of daily? b Rather, /b this verse comes b to say to you /b that with regard to b anyone who engages in Torah /b study b even one day a year, the verse ascribes him /b credit b as though he engaged /b in Torah study b the entire year. /b , b And the same /b applies b to the attribute of punishment, as it is written: “After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, /b even forty days, for every day a year, shall you bear your iniquities” (Numbers 14:34). b But did they sin /b for b forty years? Didn’t they sin /b for only b forty days? Rather, /b this comes b to say to you /b that b anyone who transgresses a sin even one day a year, the verse ascribes him /b liability b as though he transgressed the entire year. /b ,§ The mishna taught: b Who is a minor /b who is exempt from the mitzva of appearance in the Temple? b Any /b child b who is unable to ride on his father’s shoulders /b and ascend from Jerusalem to the Temple Mount. b Rabbi Zeira strongly objects to this: /b |

The Gemara asks: b From where do we /b derive this? b As it is written: “And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the Tabernacle was erected” /b (Exodus 40:17). b And the Master said: /b In the b first year /b after leaving Egypt, b Moses built the Tabernacle. /b At the beginning of the b second /b year, b Moses erected the Tabernacle and sent /b the b spies. And it is written: “And it came to pass in the second year in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony” /b (Numbers 10:11)., b And it is /b further b written: “And they set forward from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey” /b (Numbers 10:33). b Rabbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina said: That /b very b day, they turned away from God /b by displaying their anxiety about leaving Mount Sinai. b And it is written: “And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting, and the children of Israel also wept on their part, /b and said: Would that we were given flesh to eat” (Numbers 11:4). b And it is written /b that the Jews ate the meat b “for an entire month” /b (Numbers 11:20). If one adds to the first twenty days an additional three days’ journey, b these are /b twenty-three days. Consequently, the subsequent month of twenty-nine days of eating meat ended b on the twenty-second of Sivan. /b ,After this, the Jews traveled to Hazeroth, where Miriam was afflicted with leprosy, b and it is written: “And Miriam was shut out of the camp for seven days, /b and the people did not journey until Miriam was brought in again” (Numbers 12:15). Including b these /b seven days, they remained in Hazeroth until b the twenty-ninth of Sivan /b before traveling on to Paran, b and it is written /b immediately afterward: b “Send you men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan” /b (Numbers 13:2)., b And /b this calculation b is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b On the twenty-ninth of Sivan, Moses sent /b the b spies. And it is written: “And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days” /b (Numbers 13:25), which means that they came back on the Ninth of Av. The Gemara asks: b These are forty days minus one. /b The remaining days of the days of Sivan, the entire month of Tammuz, and eight days of Av add up to a total of thirty-nine days, not forty., b Abaye said: The month of Tammuz of that year was a full /b month of thirty days. Accordingly, there are exactly forty days until the Ninth of Av. b And /b this is alluded to in the following verse, b as it is written: “He has called an appointed time against me to crush my young men” /b (Lamentations 1:15). This indicates that an additional appointed day, i.e., a New Moon, was added so that this calamity would fall specifically on the Ninth of Av., b And it is /b further b written: “And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried and the people wept that night” /b (Numbers 14:1). b Rabba said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: That night was the night of the Ninth of Av. The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to them: You wept needlessly /b that night, b and I /b will therefore b establish for you /b a true tragedy over which there will be b weeping in /b future b generations. /b ,§ The mishna further taught that on the Ninth of Av b the Temple was destroyed the first time. /b The Gemara explains that this is b as it is written: “And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the King of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. And he burnt the house of the Lord” /b (II Kings 25:8–9). b And it is /b also b written: “And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem. /b And he burnt the house of the Lord” (Jeremiah 52:12–13)., b And it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b It is impossible to say /b that the Temple was burned b on the seventh /b of Av, b as it has already been stated, /b in Jeremiah, that it was destroyed b on the tenth. And it is /b also b impossible to say /b that the Temple was burned b on the tenth /b of Av, b as it has already been stated /b that it was destroyed b on the seventh, /b in II Kings 25:8–9. b How so; /b what actually occurred? b On the seventh /b of Av, b gentiles entered the Sanctuary, and on the seventh and the eighth they ate /b there b and desecrated it, /b by engaging in acts of fornication., b And /b on b the ninth, adjacent to nightfall, they set fire to it, and it continuously burned the entire day, as it is stated: “Woe unto us, for the day has declined, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out” /b (Jeremiah 4:6). This verse is interpreted as a prophecy about the evening when the Temple was burned. b And this is /b what b Rabbi Yoḥa /b meant when he b said: Had I been /b alive b in that generation, I would have established /b the fast b only on the tenth /b of Av b because most of the Sanctuary was burned on that /b day. b And the Sages, /b who established the fast on the ninth, how do they respond to that comment? They maintain that it is b preferable /b to mark b the beginning of the tragedy. /b , b And /b the mishna further taught that the Temple was destroyed b for the second time /b also on the Ninth of Av. The Gemara asks: b From where do we /b derive that the Second Temple was destroyed on this date? b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b A meritorious /b matter b is brought about on an auspicious day, and a deleterious /b matter b on an inauspicious day, /b e.g., the Ninth of Av, on which several tragedies had already occurred.,The Sages b said: When the Temple was destroyed for the first time, that day was the Ninth of Av; and it was the conclusion of Shabbat; and it was the year after a Sabbatical Year; and it was the week of the priestly watch of Jehoiarib; and the Levites were singing /b the b song and standing on their platform. And what song were they singing? /b They were singing the verse: b “And He brought upon them their own iniquity, and He will cut them off in their own evil” /b (Psalms 94:23). b And they did not manage to recite /b the end of the verse: b “The Lord our God will cut them off,” before gentiles came and conquered them. And likewise, /b the same happened b when the Second /b Temple was destroyed.,The mishna teaches that b Beitar was captured /b on the Ninth of Av. The Gemara explains that this is known by b tradition. /b ,§ The mishna taught that on the Ninth of Av b the city /b of Jerusalem b was plowed. It is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b When the wicked Turnus Rufus plowed the Sanctuary, a decree was issued against Rabban Gamliel for execution. A certain Roman officer came and stood in the study hall and said /b surreptitiously: b The man with the nose is wanted; the man with the nose is wanted. /b This was a hint that Rabban Gamliel, who stood out in his generation like a nose protruding from a face, was sought by the government. Rabban Gamliel b heard and went into hiding. /b ,The Roman officer b went to him in private, and said to him: If I save you /b from death, will b you bring me into the World-to-Come? /b Rabban Gamliel b said to him: Yes. /b The officer b said to /b Rabban Gamliel: b Swear to me. He swore to him. /b The officer b ascended to the roof, fell, and died. And /b the Romans had b a tradition that when they issued a decree and one /b of their advisors b died, they would cancel the decree. /b The officer’s sacrifice saved Rabban Gamliel’s life. b A Divine Voice emerged and said: That officer is designated for /b the b life of the World-to-Come. /b , b The Sages taught: When the Temple was destroyed for the first time, many groups of young priests gathered together with the Temple keys in their hands. And they ascended to the roof of the Sanctuary and said before /b God: b Master of the Universe, since we did not merit to be faithful treasurers, /b and the Temple is being destroyed, b let /b the Temple b keys be handed to You. And they threw them upward, and a kind of palm of a hand emerged and received /b the keys b from them. And the young priests jumped /b from the roof b and fell into the fire /b of the burning Temple., b And the prophet Isaiah lamented over them: “The burden of the Valley of Vision. What ails you now that you have all gone up to the roofs? You that were full of uproar, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle” /b (Isaiah 22:1–2). This is referring to the young priests who died by throwing themselves off the roof into the fire. b And even with regard to the Holy One, Blessed be He, it is stated: /b “For it is a day of trouble, and of trampling, and of confusion for the Lord of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; b a shouting over walls and a cry to the mountain” /b (Isaiah 22:5). This verse indicates that even God shouts over the destruction of the Temple.,§ The mishna teaches that b from when /b the month of b Av begins, one decreases /b acts of b rejoicing. Rav Yehuda, son of Rav Shmuel bar Sheilat, said in the name of Rav: Just as when Av begins one decreases rejoicing, so too when /b the month of b Adar begins, one increases rejoicing. /b |

The Gemara asks: b These /b latter examples in the mishna b are the same as the first clause of the mishna, /b and they all illustrate the same ficial conditions. Why was it not sufficient to mention only the case of the thousand dinars? The Gemara explains: The i tanna /i b teaches /b about b a large appraisal /b of her substantial property, b and he /b also b teaches /b about b a small appraisal /b in a case where she has minimal property, to illustrate that there is no halakhic difference between them. Similarly, the i tanna /i b teaches /b about the husband’s own b appraisal /b of how to assess how much she must provide, b and he /b also b teaches /b about the wife’s own initial b appraisal /b that she did and the corresponding amount that he must write., strong MISHNA: /strong If b she pledged to bring him money /b and not articles to serve as a dowry, b her i sela /i , /b i.e., four dinars, b becomes six /b dinars with respect to the husband’s obligation in the marriage contract. This follows the standard outlined in the previous mishna: The groom increases his obligation by one half since he will profit from this money. Additionally, the b groom accepts upon himself /b to give b ten /b dinars b to the account /b for her needs, b for each and every hundred dinars /b that she brings. b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Everything /b is b in accordance with the regional custom. /b , strong GEMARA: /strong Concerning the first clause, that her i sela /i becomes six dinars, the Gemara asks: b This is /b identical to that which was taught in the previous mishna, that if she brings one thousand dinars in her dowry, b he pledges against them fifteen hundred dinars. /b Why does the mishna cite another example to demonstrate the same principle?,The Gemara responds: The i tanna /i b taught /b about b large /b investment b capital /b and b taught /b about b small /b investment b capital. And /b it is b necessary /b to relate to both situations, b because if he taught /b only the case of b large capital, which /b has b abundant profit, /b you might think that only then does the husband add one-half. b However, /b for b small capital, which /b has b small profit, /b you could b say /b that this is b not /b the case. Therefore, it is b necessary /b to also state the principle in this mishna. b And /b conversely, b if /b the i tanna /i had b taught us /b only about b small capital, /b then you might think that b because /b it has b little expense, /b one must add a half. b However, /b with regard to b large capital, /b for b which /b there is b abundant expense, /b you could b say /b that the husband need b not /b add as much. Therefore, it is b necessary /b to state both cases to teach that the husband adds one-half to the sum in any case.,The mishna states that the b son-in-law accepts upon himself /b to give b ten dinars to the account. /b The Gemara asks: b What /b is this b account? Rav Ashi said: /b It is b an account /b for expenses b of perfumes /b and cosmetics. b And Rav Ashi said: This statement was said only /b for women b in Jerusalem, /b where the women are accustomed to using an abundance of perfume.,According to the mishna, the husband must give ten dinars for each and every hundred dinars that she brings. b Rav Ashi raises a dilemma: /b Does this speak b of /b each b hundred dinars that are appraised /b in her dowry, b or of /b each b hundred dinars that are accepted /b by the husband in the marriage contract, which is the appraisal reduced by one-fifth?, b If you say /b that the mishna speaks of each b hundred dinars that is accepted, /b is the intent that he gives a one-time sum only on the b first day or /b on b each day? If you say /b that he gives it b every day, /b does he give it only the b first week /b of marriage b or each week? If you say /b he gives it b each week, /b does he give it only the b first month or each month? If you say /b he gives it b each month, /b does he give it only the b first year /b of marriage b or each year? /b The Gemara does not determine how the calculation must be rendered and with what frequency the husband is required to provide for her cosmetics, and the dilemmas b shall stand /b unresolved.,§ b Rav Yehuda said /b that b Rav said: /b There was b an incident involving /b the b daughter of Nakdimon ben Guryon. When the Sages designated for her four hundred gold /b coins b for her account of perfumes, /b from her late husband’s estate, b for /b use b on that same day, she /b blessed them and b said to them: This /b is how b you /b should also b pledge for your /b own b daughters, and they answered after her: Amen. /b ,Apropos the daughter of Nakdimon ben Guryon, the Gemara relates what later became of her: b The Sages taught: /b There was b an incident involving Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai. When he was riding on a donkey and leaving Jerusalem, and his students were walking after him /b to learn from him, b he saw a certain young woman who was gathering barley from among the dung of the animals of Arabs. /b She was so poor that she subsisted on the undigested barley within the dung. b When she saw him, she wrapped herself in her hair, /b as she had nothing else with which to cover herself, and b stood before him. /b , b She said to him: My teacher, sustain me. /b He did not recognize her, so b he said to her: My daughter, who are you? She said to him: I am /b the b daughter of Nakdimon ben Guryon. He said to her: My daughter, the money of your father’s household, where did /b it b go? /b How did you become so poor? b She said to him: My teacher, is it not /b that they b say such a proverb in Jerusalem: Salt for money is lacking [ i ḥaser /i ]? /b There is nothing with which to preserve it and prevent it from being lost. b And some say /b the proverb asserts that b kindness [ i ḥesed /i ] /b is salt for money, i.e., using money for acts of kindness preserves it. He continued to ask her: b And /b the money b of your father-in-law’s house, /b which was used properly, for benevolent acts, b where is it? She said to him: This one came and destroyed that one; /b all the money was combined, and it was all lost together., b She said to him: My teacher, /b do b you remember when you signed on my marriage contract? He said to his students: I remember that when I signed on the marriage contract of this /b woman, b and I read in it, /b it listed b a thousand thousands, /b i.e., one million b gold dinars /b as a dowry b from her father’s house, aside from that /b which was promised her b from her father-in-law. Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai cried and said: How fortunate are you, Israel, /b for b when /b Israel b performs the will of /b the b Omnipresent, no nation or tongue /b can b rule over them; and when /b Israel b does not perform the will of the Omnipresent, He delivers them into the hand of a lowly nation. Not /b only are they delivered b into the hand of a lowly nation, but even into the hand of the animals of a lowly nation, /b as in the pitiful instance of Nakdimon’s daughter.,The recorded incident implies that Nakdimon lost all of his wealth after having failed to use it for acts of kindness. The Gemara asks: b And did not Nakdimon ben Guryon perform charity? Isn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i : b They said about Nakdimon ben Guryon /b that b when he would leave his home /b to go b to the study hall, /b there were b fine woolen garments /b his attendants b would /b |

This is referring to the members of the third group, who require refinement and cleansing. b And about them, Hannah said: “The Lord kills, and gives life; he brings down to the grave, and brings up” /b (I Samuel 2:6)., b Beit Hillel say: /b He Who is b “and abundant in kindness” /b (Exodus 34:6) b tilts /b the scales b in favor of kindness, /b so that middling people should not have to pass through Gehenna. b And about them, David said: “I love the Lord, Who hears my voice /b and my supplications” (Psalms 116:1). b And about them, David said the entire passage: “I was brought low [ i daloti /i ] and He saved me” /b (Psalms 116:6). Although they are poor [ i dalim /i ] in mitzvot, God saves them., b The rebellious Jews /b who have sinned b with their bodies and /b also b the rebellious /b people b of the nations of the world /b who have sinned b with their bodies descend to Gehenna and are judged there for twelve months. After twelve months, their bodies are consumed, their souls are burned, and a wind scatters them under the soles of the feet of the righteous, as it is stated: “And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet” /b (Malachi 3:21)., b But the heretics; and the informers; and the apostates [ i apikorsim /i ]; /b and those b who denied the Torah; and /b those who b denied the resurrection of the dead; and /b those who b separated from the ways of /b the Jewish b community /b and refused to share the suffering; b and /b those b who cast their fear over the land of the living; and /b those who b sinned and caused the masses to sin, for example, Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and his company; /b all of these people b descend to Gehenna and are judged there for generations and generations, as it is stated: “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have rebelled against Me; /b for their worm shall not die; neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh” (Isaiah 66:24)., b Gehenna will terminate, but they /b still b will not terminate, as it is stated: “And their form shall wear away the netherworld, so that there be no dwelling for Him” /b (Psalms 49:15); that is to say, Gehenna itself will be worn away before their punishment has come to an end. b And why /b are they punished b so severely? Because they stretched out their hands against /b God’s b dwelling, /b the Temple, and everything else that is sanctified, b as it is stated: “So that there be no dwelling [ i zevul /i ] for Him.” Dwelling [ i zevul /i ] is referring /b here b only to the Temple, as it is stated: “I have built You a house for dwelling [ i zevul /i ] in” /b (I Kings 8:13). b And about them Hannah said: “The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces” /b (I Samuel 2:10)., b Rabbi Yitzḥak bar Avin said: And their faces /b on the Day of Judgment b will be /b black and sooty b like the bottom of a pot. And Rava said: And they shall include the most handsome, /b i.e., upstanding, b of the people of Meḥoza, /b as Rava thought that even the most upstanding people of the city of Meḥoza were wicked, b and they shall be called the people of Gehenna. /b , b The Master said /b in the i baraita /i above: It stated that b Beit Hillel say: /b He Who is b “and abundant in kindness” /b (Exodus 34:6) b tilts /b the scales b in favor of kindness, /b so that middling people will not have to pass through Gehenna. The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it written: “And I will bring the third part through the fire” /b (Zechariah 13:9), implying that there is a third group, which is sent to Gehenna temporarily? The Gemara answers: b There, /b the verse is referring to b the rebellious Jews /b who have sinned b with their bodies. /b ,The Gemara asks: Can the verse be referring to b the rebellious Jews /b who have sinned b with their bodies? But didn’t you say that they have no rectification? /b The Gemara responds: b When do they have no rectification? When /b in addition to their having sinned with their bodies, the b majority /b of their actions are b sins. /b But b here, /b the verse is referring to people for whom b half /b of their actions are b sins and half /b are b meritorious deeds, and /b those sins b include the sin of the rebellious Jews /b who sin b with their bodies. It is not sufficient that they not be /b subject to the verse: b “And I will bring the third part through the fire.” However, if /b their sins and meritorious deeds are equally balanced, and they did b not /b sin with their bodies, He Who is b “abundant in kindness” tilts /b the scales b in favor of kindness. And about them, David said: “I love the Lord, Who hears /b my voice and my supplications” (Psalms 116:1)., b Rava interpreted /b the verse b homiletically: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “I love the Lord, Who hears /b my voice and my supplications”? b The Congregation of Israel said before the Holy One, Blessed be He: Master of the Universe, when /b do I know that b I am loved by You? When You hear the voice of my supplications, /b as the verse states: b “I was brought low [ i daloti /i ], and He saved me” /b (Psalms 116:6). b Although I am poor [ i dala /i ] in mitzvot, /b nevertheless b it is fitting to save me. /b ,The Gemara asks: b The rebellious Jews /b who have sinned b with their bodies, who are they? Rav said: /b This is referring to b the skull that did not /b ever b don phylacteries. /b The Gemara asks further: b The rebellious /b ones b of the nations of the world /b who sin b with their bodies, /b who are they? b Rav said: /b They are those who engage b in the sin, /b i.e., forbidden sexual relations., b And those who cast their fear over the land of the living, /b who are they? b Rav Ḥisda said: This is referring to /b a communal b leader [ i parnas /i ] who casts excessive fear on the community not for the sake of Heaven. Rav Yehuda said that Rav said: Any /b community b leader who casts excessive fear on the community not for the sake of Heaven will /b be punished and b not see any Torah scholar among his sons, as it is stated: “Men do therefore fear him; he sees not any who are wise of heart” /b (Job 37:24). One who brings others to fear him will not merit having wise-hearted people in his family.,§ It was taught in the i baraita /i : b Beit Hillel say: /b He who is b “and abundant in kindness” /b (Exodus 34:6) b tilts /b the scales b in favor of kindness, /b so that middling people will not have to pass through Gehenna. The Gemara asks: b How does He do /b this? b Rabbi Eliezer says: He pushes down /b on the side of the merits, tipping the scale in their favor, b as it is stated: “He will again have compassion upon us; He will push down our iniquities” /b (Micah 7:19). b Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina said: He bears, /b i.e., raises, the side of the sins, b as it is stated: “He bears [ i noseh /i ] sin and forgives transgression” /b (Micah 7:18).,A Sage b from the school of Rabbi Yishmael taught /b in a i baraita /i : b He overlooks /b each and every b first /b transgression, b and that is the attribute /b of mercy, that God forgives one’s first sin, and therefore He tips the scale in favor of the merits. b Rava said: But /b that b sin itself, /b which God overlooks, b is not /b completely b erased; if /b the individual’s actions are still b mostly sins, /b God b counts /b the overlooked sin b with them /b and metes out punishment accordingly., b Rava /b understood this verse differently and b said: /b With regard to b whoever forgoes his reckonings /b with others for injustices done to him, the heavenly court in turn b forgoes /b punishment b for all his sins, as it is stated: “He bears sin and forgives transgression” /b (Micah 7:18). b Whose sins does He bear? /b The sins b of one who forgoes his reckonings /b with others for injustices committed against him.,It is related that b Rav Huna, son of Rav Yehoshua, became sick, /b and b Rav Pappa went into /b his home to b inquire about his /b well-being. b He saw that the world was growing weak for /b Rav Huna, i.e., he was dying. Rav Pappa b said to /b his attendants: b Prepare his provisions [ i zavdata /i ], /b i.e., his shrouds. b In the end, /b Rav Huna b recovered. Rav Pappa was embarrassed to /b go and b see him, /b as it seemed as if he had decreed Rav Huna’s death. Rav Huna’s friends b said to him: What did you see /b when you were lying there suspended between life and death? b He said to them: Yes, it was so, /b I was truly close to dying, b but the Holy One, Blessed be He, said to /b the heavenly court: b Since he does not stand on his rights, /b i.e., he is ready to waive what is due him, b you /b too b should not be exacting /b with him in his judgment, b as it is stated: “He bears [ i noseh /i ] sin and forgives transgression.” Whose sins does He bear? /b The sins b of one who forgoes his reckonings /b with others for injustices committed against him.,That same verse continues: “He bears sins and forgives transgression b for the remt of His inheritance” /b (Micah 7:18). b Rav Aḥa bar Ḥanina said: /b This is like the b fat tail that has a thorn in it, /b i.e., something good that contains something bad. God forgives and pardons only b “for the remt of His inheritance,” but not for all His inheritance. /b |

God b said to him: In your lifetime I will not make /b it b known /b that you were forgiven, b but I will make /b it b known in the lifetime of your son, Solomon. /b ,The Gemara explains: b When Solomon built the Temple /b and b sought to bring the Ark into the Holy of Holies, /b the b gates clung together /b and could not be opened. Solomon b uttered twenty-four songs /b of praise, b and /b his prayer b was not answered. He said: “Lift up your heads, you gates, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle” /b (Psalms 24:7–8). b And it is stated: “Lift up your heads, you gates, yea, lift them up, you everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in. /b Who then is the King of glory? The Lord of hosts; He is the King of glory. Selah” (Psalms 24:9–10), b and he was not answered. /b , b Once he said: “O Lord God, turn not away the face of Your anointed; remember the good deeds of David Your servant” /b (II Chronicles 6:42), b he was immediately answered, /b and the gates opened (II Chronicles 7:1). b At that moment, the faces of all of David’s enemies turned /b dark b like the /b charred b bottom of a pot. And all of the Jewish people knew that the Holy One, Blessed be He, had forgiven him for that sin, /b as it was only by David’s merit that Solomon’s prayer was answered.,§ The mishna states that b Gehazi, /b the attendant of Elisha, has no share in the World-to-Come. The Gemara explains that this is b as it is written: And Elisha went to Damascus /b (see II Kings 8:7). b Where did he go, /b and for what purpose? b Rabbi Yoḥa says: He went to cause Gehazi to repent, but he did not repent. /b Elisha b said to him: Repent. /b Gehazi b said to him: This /b is the tradition that b I received from you: Whoever sins and causes the masses to sin is not given the opportunity to repent. /b , b What did he do /b that caused the masses to sin? b There are /b those b who say /b that b he hung a magnetic rock on Jeroboam’s sin, /b i.e., on the golden calf that Jeroboam established as an idol, so that b he suspended it between heaven and earth, /b i.e., he caused it to hover above the ground. This seemingly miraculous occurrence caused the people to worship it even more devoutly than before. b And there are /b those b who say: He engraved /b the sacred b name /b of God b on its mouth, and it would declare and say: “I am /b the Lord your God” (Exodus 20:2), b and: “You shall not have /b other gods” (Exodus 20:3). The idol would quote the two prohibitions from the Ten Commandments that prohibit idol worship, causing the people to worship it even more devoutly than before., b And there are /b those b who say: /b Gehazi b pushed the Sages /b away b from /b coming b before him, /b i.e., he prevented them from learning from Elisha, b as it is stated: “And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, behold this place where we are staying before you is too cramped for us” /b (II Kings 6:1). It may be derived b by inference that until now they were not numerous /b and the place was not b cramped /b for them, as Gehazi would turn people away., b The Sages taught: Always have the left /b hand b drive /b sinners b away and the right draw /b them b near, /b so that the sinner will not totally despair of atonement. This is b unlike Elisha, who pushed away Gehazi with his two hands /b and caused him to lose his share in the World-to-Come, b and unlike Yehoshua ben Peraḥya, who pushed away Jesus the Nazarene with his two hands. /b ,Elisha drove b Gehazi /b away, b as it is written: “And Naaman said: Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver /b in two bags, with two changes of garments” (II Kings 5:23). Naaman offered Gehazi payment for the help Elisha had given him. The verse states: b “And Elisha said to him: Where from, Gehazi? And he said: Your servant went nowhere at all. And he said to him: Went not my heart with you, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it the time to receive silver and to receive garments, and olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and menservants and maidservants?” /b (II Kings 5:25–26). The Gemara asks: b And did /b Gehazi b take all that? It is /b merely b silver and garments that he took. /b , b Rabbi Yitzḥak says: /b This was the incident involving Gehazi: b At that moment, Elisha was sitting and teaching /b the i halakhot /i of the b eight /b impure b creeping animals. /b Now b Naaman, the general of the army of Aram, was a leper. A certain young Jewish woman who had been taken captive from Eretz Yisrael said to him: If you go to Elisha, he will heal you. When /b Naaman b came /b to him, Elisha b said to him: Go immerse in the Jordan. /b Naaman b said to him: Are you mocking me /b by suggesting that this will cure me? b Those /b companions b who were with /b Naaman b said to him: What is the difference to you? Go, try /b it. Naaman b went and immersed in the Jordan and was healed. /b Naaman b came /b and b brought to /b Elisha b all those /b items b that he had /b taken with him from Aram, and Elisha b did not agree to receive /b them b from him. Gehazi took leave from before Elisha /b and b went /b and b took /b from Naaman b what he took, and /b he b deposited /b them., b When /b Gehazi b came, Elisha saw the leprosy that had grown on /b Gehazi’s b head. /b Elisha b said to him: Wicked one! The time has arrived to take /b your b reward for /b studying the matter of b the eight creeping animals. /b Since the silver Gehazi received was his reward for studying the matter of the eight creeping animals, Elisha enumerated eight items that Gehazi sought to purchase with the silver that he took. Then Elisha said to Gehazi: b “The leprosy of Naaman shall cleave to you and to your seed forever. And he went out of his presence a leper as white as snow” /b (II Kings 5:27). With regard to the verse: b “And there were four men afflicted with leprosy at the entrance of the gate” /b (II Kings 7:3), b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b These were b Gehazi and his three sons, /b as he and his descendants were cursed.,§ b What is /b the incident involving b Yehoshua ben Peraḥya? /b The Gemara relates: b When King Yannai was killing the Sages, Yehoshua ben Peraḥya and Jesus, /b his student, b went to Alexandria of Egypt. When there was peace /b between King Yannai and the Sages, b Shimon ben Shataḥ sent /b a message b to /b Yehoshua ben Peraḥya: b From me, Jerusalem, the holy city, to you, Alexandria of Egypt: My sister, my husband is located among you and I sit desolate. /b The head of the Sages of Israel is out of the country and Jerusalem requires his return.,Yehoshua ben Peraḥya understood the message, b arose, came, and happened /b to arrive at b a certain inn /b on the way to Jerusalem. b They treated him with great honor. /b Yehoshua ben Peraḥya b said: How beautiful is this inn. /b Jesus, his student, b said to him: /b But b my teacher, the eyes of /b the innkeeper’s wife b are narrow [ i terutot /i ]. /b Yehoshua ben Peraḥya b said to him: Wicked one! /b Do b you involve yourself with regard to that /b matter, the appearance of a married woman? b He produced four hundred i shofarot /i and ostracized him. /b ,Jesus b came before /b Yehoshua ben Peraḥya b several times /b and b said to him: Accept our, /b i.e., my, repentance. Yehoshua ben Peraḥya b took no notice of him. One day /b Yehoshua ben Peraḥya b was reciting i Shema /i /b and Jesus b came before him /b with the same request. Yehoshua ben Peraḥya b intended to accept his /b request, and b signaled him with his hand /b to wait until he completed his prayer. Jesus did not understand the signal and b thought: He is driving me away. He went /b and b stood a brick /b upright to serve as an idol b and he bowed to it. /b Yehoshua ben Peraḥya then b said to /b Jesus: b Repent. /b Jesus b said to him: This /b is the tradition that b I received from you: Whoever sins and causes the masses to sin is not given the opportunity to repent. And the Master says: Jesus performed sorcery, incited /b Jews to engage in idolatry, b and led Israel astray. /b Had Yehoshua ben Peraḥya not caused him to despair of atonement, he would not have taken the path of evil., b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: /b With regard to the evil b inclination, /b to b a child, and /b to b a woman, have the left /b hand b drive /b them b away and the right draw /b them b near. /b Total rejection of the evil inclination will lead to inaction, unlike channeling its power in a positive direction. One should not draw them too near, lest they lead him to sin, but one should not drive his wife or his child away completely, lest he cause them to abandon the path of righteousness., b The Sages taught: Elisha fell ill with three illnesses: One /b illness was due to the fact b that he incited bears to /b attack and eat b children /b (see II Kings 2:24–25); b and one /b was due to the fact b that he pushed Gehazi away with two hands /b and caused him to despair of atonement; b and one /b was the illness b from which he died, as it is stated: “And Elisha was fallen ill of his illness /b from which he was to die” (II Kings 13:14), indicating that he had previously suffered other illnesses.,Apropos the death of Elisha, the Gemara says: b Until /b the time of b Abraham there was no aging, /b and the old and the young looked the same. b Anyone who saw Abraham said: That is Isaac, /b and b anyone who saw Isaac said: That is Abraham. Abraham prayed for mercy, that he would undergo aging, as it is stated: “And Abraham was old, well stricken in age” /b (Genesis 24:1). There is no mention of aging before that verse. b Until /b the time of b Jacob there was no weakness, /b i.e., illness. Jacob b prayed for mercy and there was weakness, as it is stated: “And one said to Joseph: Behold, your father is ill” /b (Genesis 48:1). b Until /b the time of b Elisha, there was no ill person who recovered, and Elisha came and prayed for mercy and recovered, as it is stated: “And Elisha was fallen ill of his illness from which he was to die” /b (II Kings 13:14). That is the first mention of a person who was ill and who did not die from that illness.,mishna The members of b the generation of the flood have no share in the World-to-Come and will not stand in judgment /b at the end of days, b as it is stated: “My soul shall not abide [ i yadon /i ] in man forever” /b (Genesis 6:3); b neither /b will they stand in b judgment [ i din /i ] nor /b shall their b souls /b be restored to them. The members of b the generation of the dispersion have no share in the World-to-Come, as it is stated: “And the Lord scattered them from there upon the face of all the earth” /b (Genesis 11:8), b and it is written: “And from there did the Lord scatter them /b upon the face of all the earth” (Genesis 11:9). b “And the Lord scattered them” /b indicates b in this world; “and from there did the Lord scatter them” /b indicates b for the World-to-Come. The people of Sodom have no share in the World-to-Come, as it is stated: “And the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly” /b (Genesis 13:13). b “Wicked” /b indicates b in this world; “and sinners” /b indicates b for the World-to-Come. But they will stand in judgment /b and they will be sentenced to eternal contempt., b Rabbi Neḥemya says: /b Both b these, /b the people of Sodom, b and those, /b the members of the generation of the flood, b will not stand in judgment, as it is stated: “Therefore the wicked shall not stand /b |

This is the way one conducts himself when approaching Jerusalem when it lies in ruin: b He /b first b rends /b his garments b for the Temple and /b then b extends /b the rent b for Jerusalem. /b ,The Gemara elaborates upon the i halakhot /i mentioned in this i baraita /i : b From where do we /b derive that one must rend his clothing for b his father, his mother, and his teacher who taught him Torah? As it is written /b with regard to the prophet Elijah, when he ascended to Heaven in a tempest: b “And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and their horsemen” /b (II Kings 2:12). The Gemara interprets this verse as follows: b “My father, my father”; this /b comes to teach that one must rend his garments for the death of b his father or mother. “The chariots of Israel and their horsemen”; this /b comes to include also b one’s teacher who taught him Torah. /b ,The Gemara asks: b From where /b may it b be inferred /b that this is referring to one’s teacher? The Gemara explains: b As /b the verse b was translated by Rav Yosef: My teacher, my teacher, who was better for /b the protection of the b Jewish people with his prayers than /b an army with b chariots and horsemen. /b , b And from where do we /b derive that these rents b are never /b to be properly b mended? As it is written: “And he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces” /b (II Kings 2:12). b From the fact that /b it b is stated: “And he rent them,” do I not know that /b he rent them b in two /b pieces? b Rather, /b when the verse adds that they were torn into two pieces, b it teaches that they must remain torn in two /b pieces b forever. /b Accordingly, this rent must never be properly mended., b Reish Lakish said to Rabbi Yoḥa: /b But isn’t b Elijah /b still b alive? /b Why, then, did Elisha rend his garments for him? b He said to him: Since it is written: “And he saw him no more” /b (II Kings 2:12), Elijah was b considered dead from /b Elisha’s perspective, and so Elisha rent his clothing for him.,§ b From where do we /b derive that one must rend his clothing for the death of the b i Nasi /i or /b the b president of the court and /b upon hearing b evil tidings? As it is written, /b when David heard about the defeat of Israel and the death of Saul and his sons: b “Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him: And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword” /b (II Samuel 1:11–12).,The Gemara explains how the aforementioned i halakhot /i are derived from the verse: b “Saul”; this is /b a reference to the b i Nasi /i , /b as Saul was king of Israel. b “Jonathan”; this is /b a reference to the b president of the court. “For the people of the Lord, and for the house of the Israel”; these are /b a reference to b evil tidings. /b , b Rav bar Shaba said to Rav Kahana: But /b perhaps you can b say /b that one need not rend his clothing b until all these /b calamities occur together, and that rending clothing is performed only over a tragedy of this magnitude. b He said to him: /b The repetition of the word “for”: b “For /b Saul,” b “for /b Jonathan,” and “for the people of the Lord” b divides the matter /b and teaches that each individual misfortune is sufficient cause to rend one’s garments.,The Gemara asks: b But do we /b actually b rend /b our clothing upon hearing b evil tidings? But didn’t they say to Shmuel: King Shapur killed twelve thousand Jews in Mezigat Caesarea, and /b Shmuel b did not rend /b his clothing?The Gemara answers: b They said /b that one must rend his clothing upon hearing evil tidings b only /b in a case where the calamity involved b the majority of the community /b of Israel b and resembles the incident that occurred /b when Saul was killed and the entire nation of Israel suffered defeat.,The Gemara tangentially asks: b Did King Shapur /b really b kill Jews? But didn’t King Shapur say to Shmuel: I have /b a blessing b coming to me, for I have never killed a Jew? /b The Gemara answers: King Shapur never instigated the killing of Jews; b there, /b however, b they brought it upon themselves, as Rabbi Ami said /b in an exaggerated manner: b Due to the noise of the /b harp b strings /b of b Mezigat Caesarea, the walls of Laodicea were breached, /b for the residents of the city celebrated when they rebelled against King Shapur. Because they rebelled against him and threatened his rule, he was forced to kill them.,§ The Gemara continues its analysis of the i baraita /i : b From where do we /b derive that one must rend his garments b upon /b hearing God’s b name being blessed, /b i.e., cursed? b As it is written /b with regard to the blasphemous words said by Rab-shakeh: b “Then came Eliakim, son of Hilkiya, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent” /b (II Kings 18:37)., b The Sages taught /b a i baraita /i with regard to this issue: Both b one who /b actually b hears /b the curse b and one who hears from the mouth of /b the one b who heard /b the curse b are obligated to rend /b their garments. b But the witnesses /b who testify against the person who uttered the blasphemy b are not obligated to rend /b their clothing when they testify as to what they heard b because they already rent /b their clothing b when they heard /b the curse the first time.,The Gemara asks: b What /b difference b does /b it make that they rent their garments b when they heard /b the curse the first time? b Didn’t they hear /b it again b now? /b The Gemara rejects this argument: b This will not enter your mind, as it is written: “And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes” /b (II Kings 19:1). This indicates that b the king rent /b his garments, b but /b those who reported the blasphemy to him b did not rend /b theirs, as they had already rent their garments the first time., b And from where do we /b derive that these rents b may not be /b properly b mended? This is derived /b by way of a verbal analogy between the verb b rending /b used here with regard to Hezekiah and the verb b rending /b used in the case of Elijah and Elisha.,§ b From where do we /b derive that one must rend his garments when b a Torah scroll has been burned? As it is written: “And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he would cut it with a penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier” /b (Jeremiah 36:23). With regard to the verse itself the Gemara asks: b What /b is meant by b “three or four leaves,” /b and why did he cut the book only at that point?,The Gemara explains: b They said to Jehoiakim: Jeremiah has written a book of Lamentations /b over the future downfall and destruction of Jerusalem. b He said to them: What is written in it? /b They read him the first verse: b “How does the city sit solitary” /b (Lamentations 1:1). b He said to them: I am king, /b and this does not apply to me. b They read him /b the second verse: b “She weeps sore in the night” /b (Lamentations 1:2). He said to them: b I am king, /b and this does not apply to me. They read him the third verse: b “Judah is gone into exile due to affliction” /b (Lamentations 1:3). He said to them: b I am king. /b They read to him: b “The ways of Zion do mourn” /b (Lamentations 1:4). He said to them: b I am king. /b These are the four leaves, or verses, that he read first.,They read him an additional verse: b “Her adversaries have become the chief” /b (Lamentations 1:5), i.e., the reigning king will be removed from power. Once he heard this, b he said to them: Who said /b this? They said to him: This is the continuation of the verse: b “For the Lord has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions” /b (Lamentations 1:5). b Immediately, he cut out all the names /b of God b from /b the book b and burned them in fire. This is as it is written: “Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, /b neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words” (Jeremiah 36:24). b By inference, /b this shows b that /b they b were required to rend /b their clothing when they saw this., b Rav Pappa said to Abaye: /b Perhaps you can b say /b that they should have rent their garments b due to the evil tidings /b contained in the scroll and not because of the destruction of the book? Abaye b said to him: Were they evil tidings at that time? /b This was a prophecy and not an account of current events., b Rabbi Ḥelbo said /b that b Rav Huna said: One who sees a Torah scroll that was torn is obligated to make two rents, one for the parchment /b that was damaged b and one for the writing, as it is stated: /b “Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, b after the king had burned the scroll and the words” /b (Jeremiah 36:27). This implies that a separate rent must be made for each of them, both the parchment and the writing.,It was related that b Rabbi Abba and Rav Huna bar Ḥiyya were sitting before Rabbi Abba. /b Rabbi Abba b needed to relieve himself. He removed his phylacteries /b from his head and b placed them on the cushion /b on which he was sitting. b An ostrich came and wanted to swallow /b the phylacteries., b He said: Now, /b had it succeeded to swallow it, b I would have been obligated to make two rents. He said to him: From where do you /b derive b this? There was an incident in which I /b was involved b and I came before Rav Mattana /b asking what to do, b but he did not have /b an answer readily available. b I /b then b came before Rav Yehuda, and he said to me: Shmuel said as follows: They said /b that one is obligated to rend his clothing b only /b when a Torah scroll or some other sacred book is torn b by force, and it resembles the incident that occurred /b with Jehoiakim.,§ b From where do we /b derive that one must rend his garments upon seeing b the cities of Judea /b in ruin? b As it is written: “There came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty people, their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring to the house of the Lord” /b (Jeremiah 41:5). This indicates that they rent their garments upon seeing the destruction., b Rabbi Ḥelbo said /b that b Ulla Bira’a said /b that b Rabbi Elazar said: One who sees the cities of Judea in their desolation says: “Your sacred cities are become a wilderness” /b (Isaiah 64:9), b and /b then b rends /b his garments. One who sees b Jerusalem in its desolation says: “Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation” /b (Isaiah 64:9), b and /b then b rends /b his garments. One who sees b the Temple in its desolation says: “Our sacred and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised You, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste” ( /b Isaiah 64:10), b and /b then b rends /b his garments.,It was taught in the i baraita /i : b He /b first b rends /b his garments b for the Temple and /b then b extends /b the rent b for Jerusalem. And they raise a contradiction /b from another i baraita /i that states: Both b one who hears /b that Jerusalem is in ruin b and one who sees /b the destruction, b once he reaches /b Mount b Scopus [ i Tzofim /i ], rends /b his garments. b And he rends /b his garments b for the Temple separately and for Jerusalem separately. /b ,The Gemara answers: b This is not difficult. This /b i baraita /i , which states that instead of making a separate rent for Jerusalem one may extend the first rent that he had made for the Temple, is referring to the case where b one reached the Temple first, /b before seeing the rest of Jerusalem, and saw it in ruin. b That /b i baraita /i , which states that one must make separate rents for Jerusalem and for the Temple, is referring to the case where b one reached Jerusalem first, /b and only afterward the Temple.,§ b The Sages taught /b the following i baraita /i : b And all of these /b rents, b one may tack them /b together with loose stitches, b and hem them, and gather them, and fix them /b with imprecise b ladder-like /b stitches. b But one may not mend them /b with precise stitches., b Rav Ḥisda said: /b |

Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai b was silent /b and did not answer. In light of this, b Rav Yosef /b later b read /b the following verse b about him, and some say /b that it was b Rabbi Akiva /b who applied the verse to Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai: “I am the Lord… b Who turns wise men backward and makes their knowledge foolish” /b (Isaiah 44:25). As Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai b should have said /b the following b to /b Vespasian in response: In such a case, b we take tongs, remove the snake, and kill it, and /b in this way b we leave the barrel /b intact. So too, you should kill the rebels and leave the city as it is., b In the meantime, /b as they were talking, b a messenger [ i feristaka /i ] arrived from Rome, /b and b said to him: Rise, for the emperor has died, and the noblemen of Rome plan to appoint you as /b their b leader /b and make you the next emperor. At that time Vespasian b was wearing /b only b one shoe, /b and when b he tried to put on the other one, it would not go on /b his foot. b He /b then b tried to remove the other /b shoe that he was already wearing, but b it would not come off. He said: What is this? /b ,Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai b said to him: Be not distressed /b or troubled, for b good tidings have reached you, as it is written: “Good tidings make the bone fat” /b (Proverbs 15:30), and your feet have grown fatter out of joy and satisfaction. Vespasian said to him: b But what is the remedy? /b What must I do in order to put on my shoe? Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai b said to him: Have someone with whom you are displeased come and pass before you, as it is written: “A broken spirit dries the bones” /b (Proverbs 17:22). b He did this, and /b his shoe b went on /b his foot. Vespasian b said to him: Since you are so wise, why didn’t you come to /b see b me until now? /b Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai b said to him: But didn’t I /b already b tell you? /b Vespasian b said to him: I also told you /b what I had to say.,Vespasian then b said to /b Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai: b I will be going /b to Rome to accept my new position, b and I will send someone else /b in my place to continue besieging the city and waging war against it. b But /b before I leave, b ask something of me that I /b can b give you. /b Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai b said to him: Give me Yavne and its Sages /b and do not destroy it, b and /b spare b the dynasty of Rabban Gamliel /b and do not kill them as if they were rebels, b and /b lastly give me b doctors to heal Rabbi Tzadok. Rav Yosef read /b the following verse b about him, and some say /b that it was b Rabbi Akiva /b who applied the verse to Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai: “I am the Lord… b Who turns wise men backward and makes their knowledge foolish” /b (Isaiah 44:25), as b he should have said to him to leave /b the Jews alone b this time. /b , b And /b why didn’t Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai make this request? b He maintained /b that Vespasian b might not do that much /b for him, b and there would not be even a small /b amount of b salvation. /b Therefore, he made only a modest request, in the hope that he would receive at least that much.,The Gemara asks: b What /b was he requesting when he asked for b doctors to heal Rabbi Tzadok? /b How did they heal him? b The first day they gave him water to drink /b that contained b bran [ i parei /i ]. The next /b day they gave him b water /b containing b flour mixed with bran [ i sipuka /i ]. The following day /b they gave him b water /b containing b flour. /b In this way they slowly restored his ability to eat, allowing b his stomach to broaden little by little. /b ,§ Vespasian b went /b back to Rome and b sent Titus /b in his place. The Gemara cites a verse that was expounded as referring to Titus: b “And he shall say: Where is their God, their rock in whom they trusted?” /b (Deuteronomy 32:37). b This is the wicked Titus, who insulted and blasphemed God on High. /b , b What did /b Titus b do /b when he conquered the Temple? b He took a prostitute with his hand, and entered the Holy of Holies /b with her. b He /b then b spread out a Torah scroll /b underneath him b and committed a sin, /b i.e., engaged in sexual intercourse, b on it. /b Afterward b he took a sword and cut into the curtain /b separating between the Sanctuary and the Holy of Holies. b And a miracle was performed and blood spurted forth. /b Seeing the blood, b he /b mistakenly b thought /b that b he had killed himself. /b Here, the term himself is a euphemism for God. Titus saw blood issuing forth from the curtain in God’s meeting place, the Temple, and he took it as a sign that he had succeeded in killing God Himself. b As it is stated: “Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place; they have set up their own signs for signs” /b (Psalms 74:4)., b Abba Ḥa says: /b The verse states: b “Who is strong like You, O Lord?” /b (Psalms 89:9). b Who is strong and indurate like You, as You hear the abuse and the blasphemy of that wicked man and remain silent. /b Similarly, b the school of Rabbi Yishmael taught /b that the verse: b “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods [ i elim /i ]” /b (Exodus 15:11), should be read as: b Who is like You among the mute [ i ilmim /i ], /b for You conduct Yourself like a mute and remain silent in the face of Your blasphemers., b What /b else did Titus b do? He took the curtain and formed it like a large basket, and brought all of the /b sacred b vessels of the Temple and placed them in it. And he put them on a ship to go and be praised in his city /b that he had conquered Jerusalem, b as it is stated: “And so I saw the wicked buried, and come to their rest; but those that had done right were gone from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city; this also is vanity” /b (Ecclesiastes 8:10). b Do not read /b the word b as “buried [ i kevurim /i ].” Rather, /b read it as b collected [ i kevutzim /i ]. /b And b do not read /b the word b as “and were forgotten [ i veyishtakeḥu /i ].” Rather, /b read it as: b And they were praised [ i veyishtabeḥu /i ]. /b According to this interpretation, the verse speaks of those who will gather and collect items “from the holy place,” the Temple, and be praised in their city about what they had done., b There are /b those b who say /b that the verse is to be read as written, as it is referring to items that were b actually buried. /b This is because b even items that had been buried were revealed to them, /b i.e., Titus and his soldiers, as they found all of the sacred vessels.,It is further related about Titus that he was once traveling b at sea /b and b a wave rose up against him /b and threatened b to drown him. /b Titus b said: It seems to me that their God, /b the God of Israel, b has power only in water. Pharaoh rose /b against them and b He drowned him in water. Sisera rose /b against them and b He drowned him in water. /b Here b too, He has risen up against me to drown me in water. If He is /b really b mighty, let Him go up on dry land and /b there b wage war against me. A Divine Voice issued forth and said to him: Wicked one, son of a wicked one, grandson of Esau the wicked, /b for you are among his descendants and act just like him, b I have a lowly creature in My world and it is called a gnat. /b ,The Gemara interjects: b Why is it called a lowly creature? /b It is called this b because it has an entrance /b for taking in food, b but it does not have an exit /b for excretion.,The Gemara resumes its story about Titus. The Divine Voice continued: b Go up on dry land and make war with it. He went up on dry land, /b and b a gnat came, entered his nostril, and picked at his brain for seven years. /b Titus suffered greatly from this until b one day he passed by the gate of a blacksmith’s shop. /b The gnat b heard the sound of a hammer /b and b was silent /b and still. Titus b said: /b I see that b there is a remedy /b for my pain. b Every day they would bring a blacksmith who hammered before him. He would give four dinars /b as payment b to a gentile /b blacksmith, and b to a Jew he would /b simply b say: It is enough for you that you see your enemy /b in so much pain. b He did this for thirty days /b and it was effective until then. b From that /b point b forward, since /b the gnat b became accustomed /b to the hammering, b it became accustomed /b to it, and once again it began to pick away at Titus’s brain., b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Pineḥas ben Arova said: I was /b at that time b among the noblemen of Rome, and when /b Titus b died they split open his head and found /b that the gnat had grown to b the size of a sparrow weighing two i sela /i . It was taught in /b another b i baraita /i : /b It was b like /b a one- b year-old pigeon weighing two i litra /i . /b , b Abaye said: We have a tradition /b that b its mouth /b was made b of copper and its claws were /b fashioned of b iron. When /b Titus b was dying, he said to /b his attendants: b Burn that man, /b i.e., me, b and scatter his ashes across the seven seas, so that the God of the Jews should not find me and stand me for judgment. /b ,§ The Gemara relates: b Onkelos bar Kalonikos, the son of Titus’s sister, wanted to convert /b to Judaism. b He went /b and b raised Titus /b from the grave b through necromancy, /b and b said to him: Who is /b most b important in that world /b where you are now? Titus b said to him: The Jewish people. /b Onkelos asked him: b Should I /b then b attach /b myself b to them /b here in this world? Titus b said to him: Their commandments are numerous, and you will not be able to fulfill them. /b It is best that you do as follows: b Go /b out and b battle against them in that world, and you will become the chief, as it is written: “Her adversaries [ i tzareha /i ] have become the chief” /b (Lamentations 1:5), which means: b Anyone who distresses [ i meitzer /i ] Israel will become the chief. /b Onkelos b said to him: What is the punishment of that man, /b a euphemism for Titus himself, in the next world? Titus b said to him: /b |

"21 (Based on Sefaria Community Translation) The Seers (i.e., the prophets) were the ones who said the doubled letters, i mantzepakh /i ( i mem, nun, tzadi, peh, /i and i kaf /i , which are the letters that have a different form when they appear at the end of a word). [The doubling of i kaf /i that is found in Genesis 12:1,] \" i Lekh lekha /i (Go for yourself),\" hints to Avraham that he will father Yitschak at one hundred years [of age] (as the numerical value of these two words is one hundred). [The doubling of i mem /i that is found in Genesis 26:16,] \" i ki atsamta memenu /i (as you have become more powerful than us)\" is a hint [to Yitschak] that hints that he and his seed will be powerful in both worlds. The doubling of i nun /i [that is found in Genesis 32:12,] \" i Hatsileini na /i (Save me)\" [is a hint to] Yaakov, [that] he will be saved in both worlds. The doubling of i peh /i is for Israel about Moshe [that is found in Exodus 3:16,] \" i pakod pakadati /i (I will surely remember).” The doubling of i tzadi /i [that is found in Zachariah 6:12,] \" i hinei eesh, Tsemach shemo, ou'metachtav yitsmach /i (behold, a man called Branch shall branch out from the place where he is,)\" is [referring to] the messiah. And so is it stated (Jermiah 23:5), \" i vahikimoti leDaveed tsemach tsadeek […] /i (and I will raise up a true branch of David […]).\" “The leader of fifty\" (Isaiah 3:3): Twenty-four books (of the Bible), and add to them eleven of the thirteen [books of the minor prophets] - besides Yonah which is by itself - and six orders of the Mishnah and nine chapters of Torat Kohanim, behold fifty. \"Sixty were the queens\" (Song of Songs 6:8): Sixty tractates. “And eighty concubines\" (Song of Songs 6:8): And eighty study halls that were in Jerusalem corresponding to its gates. \"And maidens without number\" (Song of Songs 6:8): The study outside. \"Behold the bed of Shlomo, sixty warriors\" (Song of Songs 3:7): [This] corresponds to the [number of] letters of [the priestly blessing,) \"May the Lord bless you and keep you, etc.\" (Numbers 6:24-26). --- The Satan ( i HaSatan /i ) has the numerical equivalent of three hundred and sixty-four, the count of the days of the solar year, as he rules over all the year to slander, except for Yom Kippur. Rabbi Ami bar Abba said, \"Avraham was missing five organs before he was circumcised and [before he] fathered. The [letter] i hay /i (with a numerical value of five) was added [to his name] and he became complete and fathered, and he was called Avraham [corresponding to the complete set of organs, two hundred and forty-eight], the numerical count of his letters.\" --- [Regarding] Sarai, two Amoraim (later rabbinic teachers) differed. One said, \"The [letter] i yod /i [with a numerical count of ten that was taken from her] was divided into two, [to give] a i hay /i to Avaraham and a i hay /i to Sarah.\" And [the other] said, \"The i yod /i that was taken from Sarah raised a protest until Yehshoua came and had a i yod /i added, as it is stated (Numbers 13:16), \"and Moshe called Hoshea [...], Yehoshua.\" And it saved him from the counsel of the [other] spies. [The significance of the letters in the name,] Yitschak [is as follows]: i Yod /i [with a numerical count of ten] corresponds to the ten trials [of Avraham]. [The letter] i tsadi /i [with a numerical count of ninety, as] Sarah was ninety when he was born. [The letter] i chet /i [with a numerical count of eight, as] he was circumcised on the eighth day. And the letter i kof /i [with a numerical count of one hundred, as] Avraham was a hundred years old when he was born. Yaakov was called according to [the significance of the letters of] his [own] name: i Yod /i [corresponds to] the tenth of his offspring going backwards, Levi. Count from (the last son), Binaymin to Levi - there are ten sons, and Levi was the tenth. (And he gave him as a tithe to the Omnipresent to fulfill [what he said] (Genesis 28:22), \"all that You give to me, I will surely tithe it to You.\") [The letter] i ayin /i [with a numerical count of seventy corresponds to the number of offspring he took to Egypt], \"with seventy souls\" (Deuteronomy 10:22). i Kof /i corresponds to the [number of the] letters of the blessing [that he received], \"And may He give you [etc.]\" (Genesis 27:28). (Take away the name [of God] from there, and one hundred [letters] remain.) [The letter] i bet /i [with a numerical count of two] remains. It corresponds to two angels [that he saw on the ladder in his dream] rising. There were six hundred and thirteen letters on the tablets – corresponding to the six hundred and thirteen commandments. And they were all given to Moshe at [Mount] Sinai; and in them are statutes and judgments, Torah and Mishnah, Talmud and aggadah. \"The fear of the Lord is his treasure\" (Isaiah 33:6). There is no greater characteristic than fear and humility, as it is stated (Deuteronomy 10:12), \"And now Israel, what does the Lord, your God, ask of you besides to fear Him […].\" \"The fear of\" ( i Yirat /i ) has a numerical value of six hundred and eleven and Torah has a numerical value of six hundred and eleven; along with Torah and fear, behold that is six hundred and thirteen. The rabbis taught: [the numerical value of] fringes ( i tsitsit /i ) [is six hundred. Add] eight strings and five knots, behold that is six hundred and thirteen. --- As on every day, one hundred men of Israel were dying. [So] David ordained [the daily saying of] one hundred blessings, and the plague ended. [\"This is the law of the burnt-offering ( i olah /i ), it is the burnt-offering\" (Leviticus 6:2), meaning] the yoke ( i ulah /i ) of Torah and the yoke of repentance. (Hosea 14:3). Israel said, \"Master of the world, at the time that the Temple existed, we would offer a sacrifice and be cleansed. But now all we have in our hand is prayer.\" The numerical value of i tov /i is seventeen. Prayer [consists of] nineteen [blessings]. Take away from them the blessing for the malfeasers that was composed at Yavneh, and \"Let the sprout of David blossom,\" which they ordained for the sake of \"Probe me, Lord, and try me\" (Psalms 26:2). Rabbi Simon says, \"'Take the good ( i tov /i ).' The numerical value [of i tov /i in i at-bash /i (matching letters based on how close they are to the center of the alphabet) is the same as] soul ( i nefesh /i ) […]. Israel said, 'Behold the fat from us, [from our souls]. May it be Your will that it be atonement for us and \"that we pay with the words of our lips\" (Hosea 14:3).'\" \"And the Lord gave her conception ( i herayon /i )\" (Ruth 4:13). [ i Herayon /i ] has a numerical value of two hundred and seventy one (the number of the days of the nine months of birthing). The measure of the water of a mikveh (ritual bath) is forty i seah /i [corresponding to the forty times] well water is written in the Torah. And [the volume of] how many eggs is the measure of the mikveh? Five thousand seven hundred and sixty. And a i seah /i is a hundred and forty-four eggs. Forty-three and a fifth eggs is the measure of [what is required for] i hallah /i [tithe]. And from where [do we know] that a mikveh requires forty i seah /i ? As it is written (Isaiah 8:6), \"Since this nation has rejected the waters of Shiloach that flow gently ( i le'at /i ).\" The numerical value [of i le'at /i ] is forty. And one who separates the measure of the i hallah /i [tithe] must separate one part in forty three and a fifth, from Torah writ, like the numerical value of i hallah /i . There are forty minus one principle categories of work, as it is written (Exodus 35:1), \"These ( i eleh /i ) are the things which the Lord commanded.\" [The numerical count of] \" i eleh /i \" is thirty-six; \"things\" (being plural) is two; \"the things\" [indicates an additional] one - behold, forty minus one (thirty-nine). \"He shall strike him forty, he shall not add\" (Deuteronomy 25:3), corresponds to the forty curses received by the snake, Chava, Adam and the ground, and the sages lessened one, because of \"he shall not add.\" The merits of those that defended well and lessened iniquities are great; it is best for the two to come and push off one. Seshach is Bavel (Babylon) [according to] its numerical value in i at-bash /i . Tavel is Ramlah [according to] its numerical value in i al-bam /i . ---", 18.22. "---", |

214. Strabo, Geography, 10.4.15, 13.1.41 Tagged with subjects: •temple in jerusalem, destruction of Found in books: Allison (2018) 162 | 10.4.15. Since the poet speaks of Crete at one time as possessing a hundred cities, and also at another as possessing ninety cities, Ephorus says that the ten were founded later than the others, after the Trojan War, by the Dorians who accompanied Althaemenes the Argive; he adds that it was Odysseus, however, who called it Crete of the ninety cities. Now this statement is plausible, but others say that the ten cities were razed to the ground by the enemies of Idomeneus. However, in the first place, the poet does not say that Crete had one hundred cities at the time of the Trojan War, but rather in his own time (for he is speaking in his own person, although, if the statement was made by some person who was living at the time of the Trojan War, as is the case in the Odyssey, when Odysseus says of the ninety cities, then it would be well to interpret it accordingly). In the second place, if we should concede this, the next statement could not he maintained; for it is not likely that these cities were wiped out by the enemies of Idomeneus either during the expedition or after his return from Troy; for when the poet said,and all his companions Idomeneus brought to Crete, all who escaped from the war, and the sea robbed him of none, he would also have mentioned this disaster; for of course Odysseus could not have known of the obliteration of the cities, since he came in contact with no Greeks either during his wanderings or later. And he who accompanied Idomeneus on the expedition to Troy and returned safely home at the same time could not have known what occurred in the homeland of Idomeneus either during the expedition or the return from Troy, nor yet even after the return; for if Idomeneus escaped with all his companions, he returned home strong, and therefore his enemies were not likely to be strong enough to take ten cities away from him. Such, then, is my description of the country of the Cretans. 13.1.41. So the Ilians tell us, but Homer expressly states that the city was wiped out: The day shall come when sacred Ilios shall perish; and surely we have utterly destroyed the steep city of Priam, by means of counsels and persuasiveness; and in the tenth year the city of Priam was destroyed. And other such evidences of the same thing are set forth; for example, that the wooden image of Athena now to be seen stands upright, whereas Homer clearly indicates that it was sitting, for orders are given to put the robe upon Athena's knees Hom. Il. 6.(compare that never should there sit upon his knees a dear child). For it is better to interpret it in this way than, as some do, to interpret it as meaning to put the robe 'beside' her knees, comparing the words and she sits upon the hearth in the light of the fire, which they take to mean beside the hearth. For how could one conceive of the dedication of a robe beside the knees? Moreover, others, changing the accent on γούνασιν accenting it γουνάσιν, like θυιάσιν (in whichever of two ways they interpret it), talk on endlessly. . . There are to be seen many of the ancient wooden images of Athena in a sitting posture, as, for example, in Phocaea, Massalia, Rome, Chios, and several other places. Also the more recent writers agree that the city was wiped out, among whom is the orator Lycurgus, who, in mentioning the city of the Ilians, says: Who has not heard that once for all it was razed to the ground by the Greeks, and is uninhabited? |

In the thirtieth year after the destruction of our city, I Salathiel, who am also called Ezra, was in Babylon. I was troubled as I lay on my bed, and my thoughts welled up in my heart, 3.2. because I saw the desolation of Zion and the wealth of those who lived in Babylon. 3.27. So thou didst deliver the city into the hands of thy enemies. 3.28. "Then I said in my heart, Are the deeds of those who inhabit Babylon any better? Is that why she has gained dominion over Zion? 3.29. For when I came here I saw ungodly deeds without number, and my soul has seen many sinners during these thirty years. And my heart failed me, 3.30. for I have seen how thou dost endure those who sin, and hast spared those who act wickedly, and hast destroyed thy people, and hast preserved thy enemies, 3.31. and hast not shown to any one how thy way may be comprehended. Are the deeds of Babylon better than those of Zion? 4.4. If you can solve one of them for me, I also will show you the way you desire to see, and will teach you why the heart is evil." 6.7. And I answered and said, "What will be the dividing of the times? Or when will be the end of the first age and the beginning of the age that follows?" 6.8. He said to me, "From Abraham to Isaac, because from him were born Jacob and Esau, for Jacob's hand held Esau's heel from the beginning. 6.9. For Esau is the end of this age, and Jacob is the beginning of the age that follows. 6.10. For the beginning of a man is his hand, and the end of a man is his heel; between the heel and the hand seek for nothing else, Ezra!" 6.11. I answered and said, "O sovereign Lord, if I have found favor in thy sight, 6.12. show thy servant the end of thy signs which thou didst show me in part on a previous night." 6.13. He answered and said to me, "Rise to your feet and you will hear a full, resounding voice. 6.14. And if the place where you are standing is greatly shaken 6.15. while the voice is speaking, do not be terrified; because the word concerns the end, and the foundations of the earth will understand 6.16. that the speech concerns them. They will tremble and be shaken, for they know that their end must be changed." 6.17. When I heard this, I rose to my feet and listened, and behold, a voice was speaking, and its sound was like the sound of many waters. 6.18. And it said, "Behold, the days are coming, and it shall be that when I draw near to visit the inhabitants of the earth, 6.19. and when I require from the doers of iniquity the penalty of their iniquity, and when the humiliation of Zion is complete, 6.20. and when the seal is placed upon the age which is about to pass away, then I will show these signs: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and all shall see it together. 6.21. Infants a year old shall speak with their voices, and women with child shall give birth to premature children at three and four months, and these shall live and dance. 6.22. Sown places shall suddenly appear unsown, and full storehouses shall suddenly be found to be empty; 6.23. and the trumpet shall sound aloud, and when all hear it, they shall suddenly be terrified. 6.24. At that time friends shall make war on friends like enemies, and the earth and those who inhabit it shall be terrified, and the springs of the fountains shall stand still, so that for three hours they shall not flow. 6.25. "And it shall be that whoever remains after all that I have foretold to you shall himself be saved and shall see my salvation and the end of my world. 6.26. And they shall see the men who were taken up, who from their birth have not tasted death; and the heart of the earth's inhabitants shall be changed and converted to a different spirit. 6.27. For evil shall be blotted out, and deceit shall be quenched; 6.28. faithfulness shall flourish, and corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be revealed." 7.48. For an evil heart has grown up in us, which has alienated us from God, and has brought us into corruption and the ways of death, and has shown us the paths of perdition and removed us far from life -- and that not just a few of us but almost all who have been created!" 8.63. "Behold, O Lord, thou hast now shown me a multitude of the signs which thou wilt do in the last times, but thou hast not shown me when thou wilt do them." 9.38. When I said these things in my heart, I lifted up my eyes and saw a woman on my right, and behold, she was mourning and weeping with a loud voice, and was deeply grieved at heart, and her clothes were rent, and there were ashes on her head. 10.19. So I spoke again to her, and said, 10.20. "Do not say that, but let yourself be persuaded because of the troubles of Zion, and be consoled because of the sorrow of Jerusalem. 10.21. For you see that our sanctuary has been laid waste, our altar thrown down, our temple destroyed; 10.22. our harp has been laid low, our song has been silenced, and our rejoicing has been ended; the light of our lampstand has been put out, the ark of our covet has been plundered, our holy things have been polluted, and the name by which we are called has been profaned; our free men have suffered abuse, our priests have been burned to death, our Levites have gone into captivity, our virgins have been defiled, and our wives have been ravished; our righteous men have been carried off, our little ones have been cast out, our young men have been enslaved and our strong men made powerless. 10.23. And, what is more than all, the seal of Zion -- for she has now lost the seal of her glory, and has been given over into the hands of those that hate us. 10.25. While I was talking to her, behold, her face suddenly shone exceedingly, and her countece flashed like lightning, so that I was too frightened to approach her, and my heart was terrified. While I was wondering what this meant, 10.26. behold, she suddenly uttered a loud and fearful cry, so that the earth shook at the sound. 10.27. And I looked, and behold, the woman was no longer visible to me, but there was an established city, and a place of huge foundations showed itself. Then I was afraid, and cried with a loud voice and said, 10.28. "Where is the angel Uriel, who came to me at first? For it was he who brought me into this overpowering bewilderment; my end has become corruption, and my prayer a reproach." 10.29. As I was speaking these words, behold, the angel who had come to me at first came to me, and he looked upon me; 10.30. and behold, I lay there like a corpse and I was deprived of my understanding. Then he grasped my right hand and strengthened me and set me on my feet, and said to me, 10.31. "What is the matter with you? And why are you troubled? And why are your understanding and the thoughts of your mind troubled?" 10.32. I said, "Because you have forsaken me! I did as you directed, and went out into the field, and behold, I saw, and still see, what I am unable to explain." 10.33. He said to me, "Stand up like a man, and I will instruct you." 10.34. I said, "Speak, my lord; only do not forsake me, lest I die before my time. 10.35. For I have seen what I did not know, and I have heard what I do not understand. 10.36. Or is my mind deceived, and my soul dreaming? 10.37. Now therefore I entreat you to give your servant an explanation of this bewildering vision." 10.38. He answered me and said, "Listen to me and I will inform you, and tell you about the things which you fear, for the Most High has revealed many secrets to you. 10.45. And as for her telling you that she was barren for thirty years, it is because there were three thousand years in the world before any offering was offered in it. 10.46. And after three thousand years Solomon built the city, and offered offerings; then it was that the barren woman bore a son. 10.51. Therefore I told you to remain in the field where no house had been built, 10.52. for I knew that the Most High would reveal these things to you. 10.53. Therefore I told you to go into the field where there was no foundation of any building, 10.54. for no work of man's building could endure in a place where the city of the Most High was to be revealed. 11.39. `Are you not the one that remains of the four beasts which I had made to reign in my world, so that the end of my times might come through them? 12.11. The eagle which you saw coming up from the sea is the fourth kingdom which appeared in a vision to your brother Daniel. 13.32. And when these things come to pass and the signs occur which I showed you before, then my Son will be revealed, whom you saw as a man coming up from the sea. 13.37. And he, my Son, will reprove the assembled nations for their ungodliness (this was symbolized by the storm), 14.29. At first our fathers dwelt as aliens in Egypt, and they were delivered from there, 14.31. Then land was given to you for a possession in the land of Zion; but you and your fathers committed iniquity and did not keep the ways which the Most High commanded you. 14.32. And because he is a righteous judge, in due time he took from you what he had given. 14.34. If you, then, will rule over your minds and discipline your hearts, you shall be kept alive, and after death you shall obtain mercy. 14.35. For after death the judgment will come, when we shall live again; and then the names of the righteous will become manifest, and the deeds of the ungodly will be disclosed. |
