I, Tobit, walked in the ways of truth and righteousness all the days of my life, and I performed many acts of charity to my brethren and countrymen who went with me into the land of the Assyrians, to Nineveh. 1.5. All the tribes that joined in apostasy used to sacrifice to the calf Baal, and so did the house of Naphtali my forefather. 1.6. But I alone went often to Jerusalem for the feasts, as it is ordained for all Israel by an everlasting decree. Taking the first fruits and the tithes of my produce and the first shearings, I would give these to the priests, the sons of Aaron, at the altar. 1.7. of all my produce I would give a tenth to the sons of Levi who ministered at Jerusalem; a second tenth I would sell, and I would go and spend the proceeds each year at Jerusalem; 1.9. When I became a man I married Anna, a member of our family, and by her I became the father of Tobias. 1.13. Then the Most High gave me favor and good appearance in the sight of Shalmaneser, and I was his buyer of provisions. 1.17. I would give my bread to the hungry and my clothing to the naked; and if I saw any one of my people dead and thrown out behind the wall of Nineveh, I would bury him. 1.18. And if Sennacherib the king put to death any who came fleeing from Judea, I buried them secretly. For in his anger he put many to death. When the bodies were sought by the king, they were not found. 1.19. Then one of the men of Nineveh went and informed the king about me, that I was burying them; so I hid myself. When I learned that I was being searched for, to be put to death, I left home in fear. 2.3. But he came back and said, "Father, one of our people has been strangled and thrown into the market place." 2.4. So before I tasted anything I sprang up and removed the body to a place of shelter until sunset. 2.5. And when I returned I washed myself and ate my food in sorrow. 2.6. Then I remembered the prophecy of Amos, how he said, "Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your festivities into lamentation." And I wept. 2.7. When the sun had set I went and dug a grave and buried the body. 2.8. And my neighbors laughed at me and said, "He is no longer afraid that he will be put to death for doing this; he once ran away, and here he is burying the dead again!" 8.3. And when the demon smelled the odor he fled to the remotest parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him. 13.3. Acknowledge him before the nations, O sons of Israel;for he has scattered us among them. 13.4. Make his greatness known there,and exalt him in the presence of all the living;because he is our Lord and God,he is our Father for ever. 13.5. He will afflict us for our iniquities;and again he will show mercy,and will gather us from all the nations among whom you have been scattered. 13.6. If you turn to him with all your heart and with all your soul,to do what is true before him,then he will turn to you and will not hide his face from you. But see what he will do with you;give thanks to him with your full voice. Praise the Lord of righteousness,and exalt the King of the ages. I give him thanks in the land of my captivity,and I show his power and majesty to a nation of sinners. Turn back, you sinners, and do right before him;who knows if he will accept you and have mercy on you? 13.8. Let all men speak,and give him thanks in Jerusalem. 13.9. O Jerusalem, the holy city,he will afflict you for the deeds of your sons,but again he will show mercy to the sons of the righteous. 13.10. Give thanks worthily to the Lord,and praise the King of the ages,that his tent may be raised for you again with joy. May he cheer those within you who are captives,and love those within you who are distressed,to all generations for ever. 13.11. Many nations will come from afar to the name of the Lord God,bearing gifts in their hands, gifts for the King of heaven. Generations of generations will give you joyful praise. 13.12. Cursed are all who hate you;blessed for ever will be all who love you. 13.13. Rejoice and be glad for the sons of the righteous;for they will be gathered together,and will praise the Lord of the righteous. 13.14. How blessed are those who love you!They will rejoice in your peace. Blessed are those who grieved over all your afflictions;for they will rejoice for you upon seeing all your glory,and they will be made glad for ever. 13.15. Let my soul praise God the great King. 13.16. For Jerusalem will be built with sapphires and emeralds,her walls with precious stones,and her towers and battlements with pure gold. 13.17. The streets of Jerusalem will be paved with beryl and ruby and stones of Ophir; 14.2. He was fifty-eight years old when he lost his sight, and after eight years he regained it. He gave alms, and he continued to fear the Lord God and to praise him. 14.5. But God will again have mercy on them, and bring them back into their land; and they will rebuild the house of God, though it will not be like the former one until the times of the age are completed. After this they will return from the places of their captivity, and will rebuild Jerusalem in splendor. And the house of God will be rebuilt there with a glorious building for all generations for ever, just as the prophets said of it. 14.6. Then all the Gentiles will turn to fear the Lord God in truth, and will bury their idols. 14.7. All the Gentiles will praise the Lord, and his people will give thanks to God, and the Lord will exalt his people. And all who love the Lord God in truth and righteousness will rejoice, showing mercy to our brethren. |

It is sufficient to say this much concerning the Nile . But concerning Egypt , I am going to speak at length, because it has the most wonders, and everywhere presents works beyond description; therefore, I shall say the more concerning Egypt . ,Just as the Egyptians have a climate peculiar to themselves, and their river is different in its nature from all other rivers, so, too, have they instituted customs and laws contrary for the most part to those of the rest of mankind. Among them, the women buy and sell, the men stay at home and weave; and whereas in weaving all others push the woof upwards, the Egyptians push it downwards. ,Men carry burdens on their heads, women on their shoulders. Women pass water standing, men sitting. They ease their bowels indoors, and eat out of doors in the streets, explaining that things unseemly but necessary should be done alone in private, things not unseemly should be done openly. ,No woman is dedicated to the service of any god or goddess; men are dedicated to all deities male or female. Sons are not compelled against their will to support their parents, but daughters must do so though they be unwilling. |

I, Tobit, walked in the ways of truth and righteousness all the days of my life, and I performed many acts of charity to my brethren and countrymen who went with me into the land of the Assyrians, to Nineveh. 1.5. All the tribes that joined in apostasy used to sacrifice to the calf Baal, and so did the house of Naphtali my forefather. 1.6. But I alone went often to Jerusalem for the feasts, as it is ordained for all Israel by an everlasting decree. Taking the first fruits and the tithes of my produce and the first shearings, I would give these to the priests, the sons of Aaron, at the altar. 1.7. of all my produce I would give a tenth to the sons of Levi who ministered at Jerusalem; a second tenth I would sell, and I would go and spend the proceeds each year at Jerusalem; 1.9. When I became a man I married Anna, a member of our family, and by her I became the father of Tobias. 1.13. Then the Most High gave me favor and good appearance in the sight of Shalmaneser, and I was his buyer of provisions. 1.17. I would give my bread to the hungry and my clothing to the naked; and if I saw any one of my people dead and thrown out behind the wall of Nineveh, I would bury him. 1.18. And if Sennacherib the king put to death any who came fleeing from Judea, I buried them secretly. For in his anger he put many to death. When the bodies were sought by the king, they were not found. 1.19. Then one of the men of Nineveh went and informed the king about me, that I was burying them; so I hid myself. When I learned that I was being searched for, to be put to death, I left home in fear. 2.3. But he came back and said, "Father, one of our people has been strangled and thrown into the market place." 2.4. So before I tasted anything I sprang up and removed the body to a place of shelter until sunset. 2.5. And when I returned I washed myself and ate my food in sorrow. 2.6. Then I remembered the prophecy of Amos, how he said, "Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your festivities into lamentation." And I wept. 2.7. When the sun had set I went and dug a grave and buried the body. 2.8. And my neighbors laughed at me and said, "He is no longer afraid that he will be put to death for doing this; he once ran away, and here he is burying the dead again!" 8.3. And when the demon smelled the odor he fled to the remotest parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him. 13.3. Acknowledge him before the nations, O sons of Israel;for he has scattered us among them. 13.4. Make his greatness known there,and exalt him in the presence of all the living;because he is our Lord and God,he is our Father for ever. 13.5. He will afflict us for our iniquities;and again he will show mercy,and will gather us from all the nations among whom you have been scattered. 13.6. If you turn to him with all your heart and with all your soul,to do what is true before him,then he will turn to you and will not hide his face from you. But see what he will do with you;give thanks to him with your full voice. Praise the Lord of righteousness,and exalt the King of the ages. I give him thanks in the land of my captivity,and I show his power and majesty to a nation of sinners. Turn back, you sinners, and do right before him;who knows if he will accept you and have mercy on you? 13.8. Let all men speak,and give him thanks in Jerusalem. 13.9. O Jerusalem, the holy city,he will afflict you for the deeds of your sons,but again he will show mercy to the sons of the righteous. 13.10. Give thanks worthily to the Lord,and praise the King of the ages,that his tent may be raised for you again with joy. May he cheer those within you who are captives,and love those within you who are distressed,to all generations for ever. 13.11. Many nations will come from afar to the name of the Lord God,bearing gifts in their hands, gifts for the King of heaven. Generations of generations will give you joyful praise. 13.12. Cursed are all who hate you;blessed for ever will be all who love you. 13.13. Rejoice and be glad for the sons of the righteous;for they will be gathered together,and will praise the Lord of the righteous. 13.14. How blessed are those who love you!They will rejoice in your peace. Blessed are those who grieved over all your afflictions;for they will rejoice for you upon seeing all your glory,and they will be made glad for ever. 13.15.

But God will again have mercy on them, and bring them back into their land; and they will rebuild the house of God, though it will not be like the former one until the times of the age are completed. After this they will return from the places of their captivity, and will rebuild Jerusalem in splendor. And the house of God will be rebuilt there with a glorious building for all generations for ever, just as the prophets said of it. 14.6. Then all the Gentiles will turn to fear the Lord God in truth, and will bury their idols. 14.7. All the Gentiles will praise the Lord, and his people will give thanks to God, and the Lord will exalt his people. And all who love the Lord God in truth and righteousness will rejoice, showing mercy to our brethren. |

And so the land, without having any need of rain, supplies every year an unlimited abundance of every kind of good food, unless sometimes the anger of God interrupts this abundance by reason of the excessive impiety of the inhabitants. 2.195. For, since that country is not irrigated by rain as all other lands are, but by the inundations of the river which is accustomed every year to overflow its banks; the Egyptians, in their impious reason, make a god of the Nile, as if it were a copy and a rival of heaven, and use pompous language about the virtue of their country. |

In the same year, bounds were set to female profligacy by stringent resolutions of the senate; and it was laid down that no woman should trade in her body, if her father, grandfather, or husband had been a Roman knight. For Vistilia, the daughter of a praetorian family, had advertised her venality on the aediles' list â the normal procedure among our ancestors, who imagined the unchaste to be sufficiently punished by the avowal of their infamy. Her husband, Titidius Labeo, was also required to explain why, in view of his wife's manifest guilt, he had not invoked the penalty of the law. As he pleaded that sixty days, not yet elapsed, were allowed for deliberation, it was thought enough to pass sentence on Vistilia, who was removed to the island of Seriphos. â Another debate dealt with the proscription of the Egyptian and Jewish rites, and a senatorial edict directed that four thousand descendants of enfranchised slaves, tainted with that superstition and suitable in point of age, were to be shipped to Sardinia and there employed in suppressing brigandage: "if they succumbed to the pestilential climate, it was a cheap loss." The rest had orders to leave Italy, unless they had renounced their impious ceremonial by a given date. 2.86. The emperor then moved for the appointment of a Virgin to replace Occia, who for fifty-seven years had presided over the rites of Vesta with unblemished purity: Fonteius Agrippa and Domitius Pollio he thanked for the public-spirited rivalry which had led them to proffer their own daughters. Pollio's child was preferred, for no reason save that her mother was still living with the same husband, while Agrippa's divorce had impaired the credit of his house. As a solatium to the rejected candidate, the Caesar presented her with a dowry of a million sesterces. 2.87. As the commons protested against the appalling dearness of corn, he fixed a definite price to be paid by the buyer, and himself guaranteed the seller a subsidy of two sesterces the peck. Yet he would not on that score accept the title "Father of his Country," which had indeed been offered previously; and he administered a severe reprimand to those who had termed his occupations "divine," and himself "Lord." The speaker, consequently, had to walk a strait and slippery road under a prince who feared liberty and detested flattery. |

He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt, 2.15. and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son." 2.16. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men. 2.17.

He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 2.22. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee, 2.23. and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene." |

38. Josephus Flavius, Against Apion, 2.10, 2.28-2.32, 2.49-2.55, 2.65-2.69, 2.121-2.124 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE) Tagged with subjects: •palestine (eretz israel, holy land) Found in books: Salvesen et al (2020) 109, 110, 287 | 2.10. for in his third book, which relates to the affairs of Egypt, he speaks thus:—“I have heard of the ancient men of Egypt, that Moses was of Heliopolis, and that he thought himself obliged to follow the customs of his forefathers, and offered his prayers in the open air, towards the city walls; but that he reduced them all to be directed towards the sun-rising, which was agreeable to the situation of Heliopolis; 2.28. 3. This is that novel account which the Egyptian Apion gives us concerning the Jews’ departure out of Egypt, and is no better than a contrivance of his own. But why should we wonder at the lies he tells us about our forefathers, when he affirms them to be of Egyptian original, when he lies also about himself? 2.29. for although he was born at Oasis in Egypt, he pretends to be, as a man may say, the top man of all the Egyptians; yet does he forswear his real country and progenitors, and by falsely pretending to be born at Alexandria, cannot deny the pravity of his family; 2.30. for you see how justly he calls those Egyptians whom he hates, and endeavors to reproach; for had he not deemed Egyptians to be a name of great reproach, he would not have avoided the name of an Egyptian himself; as we know that those who brag of their own countries, value themselves upon the denomination they acquire thereby, and reprove such as unjustly lay claim thereto. 2.31. As for the Egyptians’ claim to be of our kindred, they do it on one of the following accounts; I mean, either as they value themselves upon it, and pretend to bear that relation to us: or else as they would draw us in to be partakers of their own infamy. 2.32. But this fine fellow Apion seems to broach this reproachful appellation against us [that we were originally Egyptians] in order to bestow it on the Alexandrians as a reward for the privilege they had given him of being a fellow citizen with them; he also is apprised of the ill will the Alexandrians bear to those Jews who are their fellow citizens, and so proposes to himself to reproach them, although he must thereby include all the other Egyptians also; while in both cases he is no better than an impudent liar. /p 2.49. and as for Ptolemy Philometor and his wife Cleopatra, they committed their whole kingdom to Jews, when Onias and Dositheus, both Jews, whose names are laughed at by Apion, were the generals of their whole army; but certainly instead of reproaching them, he ought to admire their actions, and return them thanks for saving Alexandria, whose citizen he pretends to be; 2.50. for when these Alexandrians were making war with Cleopatra the queen, and were in danger of being utterly ruined, these Jews brought them to terms of agreement, and freed them from the miseries of a civil war. “But then (says Apion) Onias brought a small army afterward upon the city at the time when Thermus the Roman ambassador was there present.” 2.51. Yes, do I venture to say, and that he did rightly and very justly in so doing; for that Ptolemy who was called Physco, upon the death of his brother Philometor, came from Cyrene, and would have ejected Cleopatra as well as her sons out of their kingdom, 2.52. that he might obtain it for himself unjustly. For this cause then it was that Onias undertook a war against him on Cleopatra’s account; nor would he desert that trust the royal family had reposed in him in their distress. 2.53. Accordingly, God gave a remarkable attestation to his righteous procedure; for when Ptolemy Physco had the presumption to fight against Onias’s army, and had caught all the Jews that were in the city [Alexandria], with their children and wives, and exposed them naked and in bonds to his elephants, that they might be trodden upon and destroyed, and when he had made those elephants drunk for that purpose, the event proved contrary to his preparations; 2.54. for these elephants left the Jews who were exposed to them, and fell violently upon Physco’s friends, and slew a great number of them; nay, after this, Ptolemy saw a terrible ghost, which prohibited his hurting those men; 2.55. his very concubine, whom he loved so well (some call her Ithaca, and others Irene), making supplication to him, that he would not perpetrate so great a wickedness. So he complied with her request, and repented of what he either had already done, or was about to do; whence it is well known that the Alexandrian Jews do with good reason celebrate this day, on the account that they had thereon been vouchsafed such an evident deliverance from God. 2.65. 6. But besides this, Apion objects to us thus:—“If the Jews (says he) be citizens of Alexandria, why do they not worship the same gods with the Alexandrians?” To which I give this answer: Since you are yourselves Egyptians, why do you fight out one against another, and have implacable wars about your religion? 2.66. At this rate we must not call you all Egyptians, nor indeed in general men, because you breed up with great care beasts of a nature quite contrary to that of men, although the nature of all men seems to be one and the same. 2.67. Now if there be such differences in opinion among you Egyptians, why are you surprised that those who came to Alexandria from another country, and had original laws of their own before, should persevere in the observance of those laws? 2.68. But still he charges us with being the authors of sedition: which accusation, if it be a just one, why is it not laid against us all, since we are known to be all of one mind? 2.69. Moreover, those that search into such matters will soon discover that the authors of sedition have been such citizens of Alexandria as Apion is; for while they were the Grecians and Macedonians who were in possession of this city, there was no sedition raised against us, and we were permitted to observe our ancient solemnities; but when the number of the Egyptians therein came to be considerable, the times grew confused, and then these seditions brake out still more and more, while our people continued uncorrupted. 2.121. 11. Apion also tells a false story, when he mentions an oath of ours, as if we “swore by God, the maker of the heaven, and earth, and sea, to bear no good will to any foreigner, and particularly to none of the Greeks.” 2.122. Now this liar ought to have said directly that “we would bear no good will to any foreigner, and particularly to none of the Egyptians.” For then his story about the oath would have squared with the rest of his original forgeries, in case our forefathers had been driven away by their kinsmen the Egyptians, not on account of any wickedness they had been guilty of, but on account of the calamities they were under; 2.123. for as to the Grecians, we are rather remote from them in place than different from them in our institutions, insomuch that we have no enmity with them, nor any jealousy of them. On the contrary, it hath so happened, that many of them have come over to our laws, and some of them have continued in their observation, although others of them had not courage enough to persevere, and so departed from them again; 2.124. nor did any body ever hear this oath sworn by us: Apion, it seems, was the only person that heard it, for he indeed was the first composer of it. /p |

But for Alexandria, the sedition of the people of the place against the Jews was perpetual, and this from that very time when Alexander [the Great], upon finding the readiness of the Jews in assisting him against the Egyptians, and as a reward for such their assistance, gave them equal privileges in this city with the Grecians themselves; 7.409. for still it came to pass that many Jews were slain at Alexandria in Egypt; 7.410. for as many of the Sicarii as were able to fly thither, out of the seditious wars in Judea, were not content to have saved themselves, but must needs be undertaking to make new disturbances, and persuaded many of those that entertained them to assert their liberty, to esteem the Romans to be no better than themselves, and to look upon God as their only Lord and Master. 7.411. But when part of the Jews of reputation opposed them, they slew some of them, and with the others they were very pressing in their exhortations to revolt from the Romans; 7.412. but when the principal men of the senate saw what madness they were come to, they thought it no longer safe for themselves to overlook them. So they got all the Jews together to an assembly, and accused the madness of the Sicarii, and demonstrated that they had been the authors of all the evils that had come upon them. 7.413. They said also that “these men, now they were run away from Judea, having no sure hope of escaping, because as soon as ever they shall be known, they will be soon destroyed by the Romans, they come hither and fill us full of those calamities which belong to them, while we have not been partakers with them in any of their sins.” 7.414. Accordingly, they exhorted the multitude to have a care, lest they should be brought to destruction by their means, and to make their apology to the Romans for what had been done, by delivering these men up to them; 7.415. who being thus apprised of the greatness of the danger they were in, complied with what was proposed, and ran with great violence upon the Sicarii, and seized upon them; 7.416. and indeed six hundred of them were caught immediately: but as to all those that fled into Egypt and to the Egyptian Thebes, it was not long ere they were caught also, and brought back,— 7.417. whose courage, or whether we ought to call it madness, or hardiness in their opinions, everybody was amazed at. 7.418. For when all sorts of torments and vexations of their bodies that could be devised were made use of to them, they could not get anyone of them to comply so far as to confess, or seem to confess, that Caesar was their lord; but they preserved their own opinion, in spite of all the distress they were brought to, as if they received these torments and the fire itself with bodies insensible of pain, and with a soul that in a manner rejoiced under them. 7.419. But what was most of all astonishing to the beholders was the courage of the children; for not one of these children was so far overcome by these torments, as to name Caesar for their lord. So far does the strength of the courage [of the soul] prevail over the weakness of the body. 7.427. where Onias built a fortress and a temple, not like to that at Jerusalem, but such as resembled a tower. He built it of large stones to the height of sixty cubits; 7.428. he made the structure of the altar in imitation of that in our own country, and in like manner adorned with gifts, excepting the make of the candlestick, 7.429. for he did not make a candlestick, but had a [single] lamp hammered out of a piece of gold, which illuminated the place with its rays, and which he hung by a chain of gold; 7.430. but the entire temple was encompassed with a wall of burnt brick, though it had gates of stone. The king also gave him a large country for a revenue in money, that both the priests might have a plentiful provision made for them, and that God might have great abundance of what things were necessary for his worship. 7.431. Yet did not Onias do this out of a sober disposition, but he had a mind to contend with the Jews at Jerusalem, and could not forget the indignation he had for being banished thence. Accordingly, he thought that by building this temple he should draw away a great number from them to himself. 7.432. There had been also a certain ancient prediction made by [a prophet] whose name was Isaiah, about six hundred years before, that this temple should be built by a man that was a Jew in Egypt. And this is the history of the building of that temple. 7.437. 1. And now did the madness of the Sicarii, like a disease, reach as far as the cities of Cyrene; 7.438. for one Jonathan, a vile person, and by trade a weaver, came thither and prevailed with no small number of the poorer sort to give ear to him; he also led them into the desert, upon promising them that he would show them signs and apparitions. 7.439. And as for the other Jews of Cyrene, he concealed his knavery from them, and put tricks upon them; but those of the greatest dignity among them informed Catullus, the governor of the Libyan Pentapolis, of his march into the desert, and of the preparations he had made for it. 7.440. So he sent out after him both horsemen and footmen, and easily overcame them, because they were unarmed men; of these many were slain in the fight, but some were taken alive, and brought to Catullus. |

Now the name Euphrates, or Phrath, denotes either a dispersion, or a flower: by Tigris, or Diglath, is signified what is swift, with narrowness; and Geon runs through Egypt, and denotes what arises from the east, which the Greeks call Nile. 13.62. 1. But then the son of Onias the high priest, who was of the same name with his father, and who fled to king Ptolemy, who was called Philometor, lived now at Alexandria, as we have said already. When this Onias saw that Judea was oppressed by the Macedonians and their kings, 13.63. out of a desire to purchase to himself a memorial and eternal fame he resolved to send to king Ptolemy and queen Cleopatra, to ask leave of them that he might build a temple in Egypt like to that at Jerusalem, and might ordain Levites and priests out of their own stock. 13.64. The chief reason why he was desirous so to do, was, that he relied upon the prophet Isaiah, who lived above six hundred years before, and foretold that there certainly was to be a temple built to Almighty God in Egypt by a man that was a Jew. Onias was elevated with this prediction, and wrote the following epistle to Ptolemy and Cleopatra: 13.65. “Having done many and great things for you in the affairs of the war, by the assistance of God, and that in Celesyria and Phoenicia, I came at length with the Jews to Leontopolis, and to other places of your nation, 13.66. where I found that the greatest part of your people had temples in an improper manner, and that on this account they bare ill-will one against another, which happens to the Egyptians by reason of the multitude of their temples, and the difference of opinions about divine worship. Now I found a very fit place in a castle that hath its name from the country Diana; this place is full of materials of several sorts, and replenished with sacred animals; 13.67. I desire therefore that you will grant me leave to purge this holy place, which belongs to no master, and is fallen down, and to build there a temple to Almighty God, after the pattern of that in Jerusalem, and of the same dimensions, that may be for the benefit of thyself, and thy wife and children, that those Jews which dwell in Egypt may have a place whither they may come and meet together in mutual harmony one with another, and he subservient to thy advantages; 13.68. for the prophet Isaiah foretold that, ‘there should be an altar in Egypt to the Lord God;’” and many other such things did he prophesy relating to that place. 13.69. 2. And this was what Onias wrote to king Ptolemy. Now any one may observe his piety, and that of his sister and wife Cleopatra, by that epistle which they wrote in answer to it; for they laid the blame and the transgression of the law upon the head of Onias. And this was their reply: 13.70. “King Ptolemy and queen Cleopatra to Onias, send greeting. We have read thy petition, wherein thou desirest leave to be given thee to purge that temple which is fallen down at Leontopolis, in the Nomus of Heliopolis, and which is named from the country Bubastis; on which account we cannot but wonder that it should be pleasing to God to have a temple erected in a place so unclean, and so full of sacred animals. 13.71. But since thou sayest that Isaiah the prophet foretold this long ago, we give thee leave to do it, if it may be done according to your law, and so that we may not appear to have at all offended God herein.” 13.72. 3. So Onias took the place, and built a temple, and an altar to God, like indeed to that in Jerusalem, but smaller and poorer. I do not think it proper for me now to describe its dimensions or its vessels, which have been already described in my seventh book of the Wars of the Jews. 13.73. However, Onias found other Jews like to himself, together with priests and Levites, that there performed divine service. But we have said enough about this temple. 15.300. for, in the first place, there were perpetual droughts, and for that reason the ground was barren, and did not bring forth the same quantity of fruits that it used to produce; and after this barrenness of the soil, that change of food which the want of corn occasioned produced distempers in the bodies of men, and a pestilential disease prevailed, one misery following upon the back of another; |

And it seems to me that he then acquired these privileges as related, not by way of flattery, but because he was truly honoured; for in most ways he comported himself toward the Romans as if they were free citizens. Thus, when Tiridates in person and envoys from Phraates came to settle their mutual recriminations, he brought them before the senate; 57.10.5. All these expenditures, moreover, he made from the regular revenues; for he neither put anybody to death for his money nor confiscated, at this time, anybody's property, nor did he even resort to tricky methods of obtaining funds. In fact, when Aemilius Rectus once sent him from Egypt, which he was governing, more money than was stipulated, he sent back to him the message: "I want my sheep shorn, not shaven." |

Therefore, the blessing of hearing prayer is recited after the blessing of the kingdom of David., b And after prayer comes, the /b Temple b service will arrive, as it is stated /b in the continuation of that verse: b “Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar” /b (Isaiah 56:7). The blessing of restoration of the Temple service follows the blessing of hearing prayer. b And when the /b Temple b service comes, /b with it will also b come thanksgiving, as it is stated: “Whoever sacrifices a thanks-offering honors Me” /b (Psalms 50:23), which teaches that thanksgiving follows sacrifice. Therefore, the blessing of thanksgiving follows the blessing of restoration of the Temple service., b And why did they see /b fit to institute that one b says the Priestly Benediction after /b the blessing of b thanksgiving? As it is written: “And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people and blessed them, and he came down from sacrificing the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings” /b (Leviticus 9:22), teaching that the Priestly Benediction follows the sacrificial service, which includes the thanks-offering.,The Gemara asks: But the cited verse indicates that Aaron blessed the people and then sacrificed the offerings. Should we not then b say /b the Priestly Benediction b before the /b blessing of the Temple b service? /b The Gemara answers: b It should not enter your mind /b to say this, b as it is written: “And he came down from sacrificing the sin-offering.” Is it written /b that he came down b to sacrifice /b the offerings, implying that after blessing the people Aaron came down and sacrificed the offerings? No, b it is written, “from sacrificing,” /b indicating that the offerings had already been sacrificed.,The Gemara asks: If, as derived from this verse, the Priestly Benediction follows the sacrificial service, the Priestly Benediction should be b said /b immediately b after /b the blessing of restoration of b the /b Temple b service, /b without the interruption of the blessing of thanksgiving. The Gemara rejects this argument: b It should not enter your mind /b to say this, b as it is written: “Whoever sacrifices a thanks-offering /b honors Me,” from which we learn that thanksgiving follows sacrifice, as already explained.,The Gemara asks: b What did you see to rely on this /b verse and juxtapose thanksgiving with sacrifice? b Rely /b rather b on the other /b verse, which indicates that it is the Priestly Benediction that should be juxtaposed with the sacrificial service. The Gemara answers: b It stands to reason /b to have the blessing of thanksgiving immediately following the blessing of the sacrificial service, since the sacrificial b service and thanksgiving, /b which are closely related conceptually, b are one matter. /b , b And why did they see /b fit to institute that one b says /b the blessing beginning with the words: b Grant peace, after the Priestly Benediction? As it is written /b immediately following the Priestly Benediction: b “And they shall put My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them” /b (Numbers 6:27). The Priestly Benediction is followed by God’s blessing, and b the blessing of the Holy One, Blessed be He, is peace, as it is stated: “The Lord blesses His people with peace” /b (Psalms 29:11).,The Gemara returns to the i baraita /i cited at the beginning of the discussion: b Now, since /b the i baraita /i teaches that b a hundred and twenty Elders, including many prophets, established the /b i Amida /i b prayer in its /b fixed b order, what /b is it that b Shimon HaPakuli arranged /b in a much later period of time, as related by Rabbi Yoḥa? The Gemara answers: Indeed, the blessings of the i Amida /i prayer were originally arranged by the hundred and twenty members of the Great Assembly, but over the course of time the people b forgot them, and /b Shimon HaPakuli then b arranged them again. /b ,The Gemara comments: These nineteen blessings are a fixed number, and b beyond this it is prohibited /b for one b to declare the praises of the Holy One, Blessed be He, /b by adding additional blessings to the i Amida /i . As b Rabbi Elazar said: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can declare all His praise?” /b (Psalms 106:2)? It means: b For whom is it fitting to utter the mighty acts of the Lord? /b Only b for one who can declare all His praise. /b And since no one is capable of declaring all of God’s praises, we must suffice with the set formula established by the Sages., b Rabba bar bar Ḥana said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: /b With regard to b one who excessively declares the praises of the Holy One, Blessed be He, /b his fate b is /b to be b uprooted from the world, /b as it appears as if he had exhausted all of God’s praises. b As it is stated: “Shall it be told to Him when I speak? If a man says /b it, b he would be swallowed up” /b (Job 37:20). The Gemara interprets the verse as saying: Can all of God’s praises be expressed when I speak? If a man would say such a thing, he would be “swallowed up” as punishment.,The Gemara relates: b Rabbi Yehuda, a man of Kefar Gibboraya, and some say /b he was b a man of Kefar Gibbor Ĥayil, taught: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “For You silence is praise” /b (Psalms 65:2)? b The /b best b remedy of all is silence, /b i.e., the optimum form of praising God is silence. The Gemara relates: b When Rav Dimi came /b from Eretz Israel to Babylonia, b he said: In the West, /b Eretz Yisrael, b they say /b an adage: If b a word is /b worth one b i sela /i , silence is /b worth b two. /b ,§ It is taught in the mishna: b If one read /b the Megilla b by heart he has not fulfilled /b his obligation. The Gemara asks: b From where do we /b derive this? b Rava said: /b This is b derived /b by means of a verbal analogy between one instance of the term b remembrance /b and another instance of the term b remembrance. It is written here, /b with regard to the Megilla: b “That these days should be remembered” /b (Esther 9:28), b and it is written elsewhere: “And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in the book, /b and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: That I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens” (Exodus 17:14). b Just as there, /b with regard to Amalek, remembrance is referring specifically to something written b in a book, /b as it is stated, “in the book,” b so too here, /b the Megilla remembrance is through being written b in a book. /b ,The Gemara raises a question: b But from where /b do we know b that this remembrance /b that is stated with regard to Amalek and to the Megilla involves b reading /b it out loud from a book? b Perhaps /b it requires b merely looking into /b the book, reading it silently. The Gemara answers: b It should not enter your mind /b to say this, as it was taught in a i baraita /i : The verse states: b “Remember /b what Amalek did to you” (Deuteronomy 25:17). One b might /b have thought that it suffices for one to remember this silently, b in his heart. /b But this cannot be, since b when it says /b subsequently: b “You shall not forget” /b (Deuteronomy 25:19), b it is /b already b referring to forgetting from the heart. How, /b then, b do I uphold /b the meaning of b “remember”? /b What does this command to remember add to the command to not forget? Therefore, it means that the remembrance must be expressed out loud, b with the mouth. /b ,§ It was taught further in the mishna: b If one read /b the Megilla b in /b Aramaic b translation he has not fulfilled /b his obligation. The Gemara asks: b What are the circumstances /b of this case? b If we say that /b the Megilla b was written in /b the original b biblical text, /b i.e., in Hebrew, b and he read it in /b Aramaic b translation, /b then b this is /b the same as reading it b by heart, /b as he is not reading the words written in the text, and the mishna has already stated that one does not fulfill his obligation by reading the Megilla by heart. The Gemara answers: b No, /b it is b necessary /b to teach this case as well, as it is referring to a case in which the Megilla b was written /b not in the original Hebrew but b in /b Aramaic b translation, and he read it /b as written, b in /b Aramaic b translation. /b ,§ The mishna continues: b However, for those who speak a foreign language, one may read /b the Megilla b in /b that b foreign language. /b The Gemara raises a difficulty: b But didn’t you say /b in the mishna: b If he read it in any /b other b language he has not fulfilled /b his obligation? The Gemara cites the answer of b Rav and Shmuel, who both say: /b When the mishna says: A foreign language, it is referring specifically to b the Greek foreign language, /b which has a unique status with regard to biblical translation.,The Gemara asks: b What are the circumstances /b of the case? b If we say that /b the Megilla b was written in i Ashurit /i , /b i.e., in Hebrew, b and he read it in Greek, this is /b the same as reading it b by heart, /b and the mishna teaches that one does not fulfill his obligation by reading by heart. The Gemara answers: b Rabbi Aḥa said /b that b Rabbi Elazar said: /b The mishna is dealing with a case in which the Megilla b was written in the Greek foreign language /b and was also read in that language.,Apropos statements in this line of tradition, the Gemara adds: b And Rabbi Aḥa /b further b said /b that b Rabbi Elazar said: From where /b is it derived b that the Holy One, Blessed be He, called Jacob El, /b meaning God? b As it is stated: /b “And he erected there an altar, b and he called it El, God of Israel” /b (Genesis 33:20). It is also possible to translate this as: And He, i.e., the God of Israel, called him, Jacob, El. Indeed, it must be understood this way, b as if it enters your mind /b to say that the verse should be understood as saying that b Jacob called the altar El, it should have /b specified the subject of the verb and written: b And Jacob called it /b El. b But /b since the verse is not written this way, the verse must be understood as follows: b He called Jacob El; and who called him El? The God of Israel. /b ,The Gemara returns to discussing languages for reading the Megilla and b raises an objection /b against Rav and Shmuel, who said that one may read the Megilla in Greek but not in other foreign languages. It is taught in a i baraita /i : b If one read /b the Megilla b in Coptic [ i Giptit /i ], i Ivrit /i , Elamite, Median, or Greek, he has not fulfilled /b his obligation, indicating that one cannot fulfill his obligation by reading the Megilla in Greek.,The Gemara answers: The clause in the mishna that teaches that the Megilla may be read in a foreign language to one who speaks that foreign language b is comparable only to that /b which was taught in a different i baraita /i : If one reads the Megilla b in Coptic to Copts, /b in b i Ivrit /i to i Ivrim /i , in Elamite to Elamites, or in Greek to Greeks, he has fulfilled /b his obligation. The Megilla may be read in any language, provided the listener understands that language.,The Gemara asks: But b if so, /b that one who reads the Megilla in a foreign language that he speaks fulfills his obligation, b why did Rav and Shmuel establish the /b ruling of the b mishna as /b referring specifically b to Greek? Let them interpret it /b as referring b to any foreign language /b that one speaks. The Gemara explains: b Rather, the mishna /b is to be understood b like the i baraita /i , /b that one who reads the Megilla in a language that he speaks fulfills his obligation; b and that which was stated /b in the name of b Rav and Shmuel was said /b as a b general /b statement, not relating to the mishna but as an independent ruling, as follows: b Rav and Shmuel both say: The Greek language is acceptable for everyone, /b i.e., anyone who reads the Megilla in Greek has fulfilled his obligation, even if he does not understand Greek.,The Gemara raises a difficulty: b But doesn’t /b the i baraita /i cited above b teach /b that if one reads the Megilla in b Greek to Greeks /b he has fulfilled his obligation? This implies that reading in Greek, b yes, /b this is acceptable for Greeks, but b for everyone /b else, b no, /b it is not. The Gemara answers: Rav and Shmuel disagree with this statement of the i baraita /i , because they b agree with /b the opinion of b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel. As we learned /b in a mishna ( i Megilla /i 8b): b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Even /b for b books /b of the Bible, the Sages b did not permit them to be written /b in any foreign language b other than Greek, /b indicating that Greek has a special status, and is treated like the original Hebrew.,The Gemara asks: But if this was the intention of Rav and Shmuel, b let them state /b explicitly: b The i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel. /b Why did Rav and Shmuel formulate their statement as if they were issuing a new ruling? The Gemara answers: b Had they said /b simply b that the i halakha /i is in accordance with Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel, I would have said /b that b this applies /b only b to the other books /b of the Bible, b but /b with regard to b the Megilla, of which it is written: “According to their writing,” I would say /b that one does b not /b fulfill his obligation if he reads it in Greek. Therefore they stated their own opinion to b teach us /b that even in the case of the Megilla one fulfills his obligation if he reads it in Greek.,§ It was taught in the mishna: b And one who speaks a foreign language who heard /b the Megilla being read b in i Ashurit /i , /b i.e., in Hebrew, b has fulfilled /b his obligation. The Gemara asks: b But isn’t /b it so that b he does not understand what they are saying? /b Since he does not understand Hebrew, how does he fulfill his obligation? The Gemara answers: b It is just as it is /b with b women and uneducated people; /b they too understand little Hebrew, but nevertheless they fulfill their obligation when they hear the Megilla read in that language., b Ravina strongly objects to /b the premise of the question raised above, i.e., that someone who does not understand the original, untranslated language of the Megilla cannot fulfill his obligation. b Is that to say /b that even b we, /b the Sages, who are very well acquainted with Hebrew, b know /b for certain the meaning of the obscure words b i ha’aḥashteranim benei haramakhim /i /b (Esther 8:10), often translated as: “Used in the royal service, bred from the stud”? b But /b nevertheless, we fulfill the b mitzva of reading /b the Megilla b and publicizing the miracle /b of Purim by reading these words as they appear in the original text. b Here too, /b one who speaks a foreign language who hears the Megilla being read in Hebrew fulfills the b mitzva of reading /b the Megilla b and publicizing the /b Purim b miracle, /b even if he does not understand the words themselves.,§ The mishna continues: b If one reads /b the Megilla b at intervals /b [ b i seirugin /i /b ] b he has fulfilled /b his obligation. The Gemara relates that b the Sages did not know what is /b meant by the word b i seirugin /i . /b One day b they heard the maidservant in Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi’s b house saying to the Sages who were entering the house intermittently /b rather than in a single group: b How long are you going to enter i seirugin seirugin /i ? /b As she lived in Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi’s house and certainly heard the most proper Hebrew being spoken, they understood from this that the word i seirugin /i means at intervals.,It is similarly related that b the Sages did not know what is /b meant by the word b i ḥalogelogot /i , /b which appears in various i mishnayot /i and i baraitot /i . One day b they heard the maidservant in Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi’s b house saying to a certain man who was scattering purslane: How long will you go on scattering your i ḥalogelogot /i ? /b And from this they understood that i ḥalogelogot /i is purslane.,Likewise, b the Sages did not know what is /b meant by i salseleha /i in the verse: “Get b i wisdom…salseleha /i and it will exalt you” /b (Proverbs 4:7–8). One day b they heard the maidservant in Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi’s b house talking to a certain man who was twirling his hair, saying to him: How long will you go on twirling /b [ b i mesalsel /i /b ] b your hair? /b And from this they understood that the verse is saying: Turn wisdom around and around, and it will exalt you.,The Gemara relates additional examples: b The Sages did not know what is /b meant by the word i yehav /i in the verse: b “Cast upon the Lord your i yehav /i ” /b (Psalms 55:23). b Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: One time I was traveling with a certain Arab /b [ b i Tayya’a /i /b ] b and I was carrying a load, and he said to me: Take your i yehav /i and throw it on my camel, /b and I understood that i yehav /i means a load or burden.,And similarly, b the Sages did not know what is /b meant by the word i matatei /i in the verse: b “And I will i tatei /i it with the i matatei /i of destruction” /b (Isaiah 14:23). One day b they heard the maidservant in Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi’s b house saying to her friend: Take a i tateita /i and i tati /i the house, /b from which they understood that a i matatei /i is a broom, and the verb i tati /i means to sweep.,On the matter of reading the Megilla with interruptions, b the Sages taught /b the following i baraita /i : b If one reads the Megilla at intervals, /b pausing and resuming at intervals, b he has fulfilled /b his obligation. |
