And so he did not divide his feelings and allot one part of his regard to his son and another part to piety to God: but he devoted the whole soul, entire and undivided, to holiness; thinking but little of the kindred blood which flowed in the victim. |

Διὸ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀκαθαρσίαν τοῦ ἀτιμάζεσθαι τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς, 1.25. οἵτινες μετήλλαξαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῷ ψεύδει, καὶ ἐσεβάσθησαν καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῇ κτίσει παρὰ τὸν κτίσαντα, ὅς ἐστιν εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν. 3.29. ἢ Ἰουδαίων ὁ θεὸς μόνον; οὐχὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν; 4.11. καὶσημεῖονἔλαβενπεριτομῆς,σφραγῖδα τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῆς πίστεως τῆς ἐντῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ,εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πατέρα πάντων τῶν πιστευόντων διʼ ἀκροβυστίας, εἰς τὸ λογισθῆναι αὐτοῖς [τὴν] δικαιοσύνην, 4.16.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 1.19. because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. 1.20. For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse. 1.21. Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. 1.22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 1.23. and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. 1.24. Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves, 1.25. who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 3.29. Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 4.11. He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them. 4.16. For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all. 4.25. who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. 5.10. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life. 6.4. We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 8.3. For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; 8.11. But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 8.32. He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? 8.34. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 11.16. If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches. 11.17. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree; 11.18. don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you. 11.19. You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." 11.20. True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear; 11.21. for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 11.22. See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 11.23. They also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 11.24. For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? |

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows." 1.10. And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands. 1.11. They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does. 1.12. As a mantle you will roll them up, And they will be changed; But you are the same. Your years will not fail." 1.13. But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?" |

Moreover, he had prevailed with Phabatus, who was Herod’s steward, by giving him a great sum of money, to assist him against Herod; but when Herod gave him more, he induced him to leave Sylleus, and by this means he demanded of him all that Caesar had required of him to pay. But when Sylleus paid nothing of what he was to pay, and did also accuse Phabatus to Caesar, and said that he was not a steward for Caesar’s advantage, but for Herod’s, 1.576. Phabatus was angry at him on that account, but was still in very great esteem with Herod, and discovered Sylleus’s grand secrets, and told the king that Sylleus had corrupted Corinthus, one of the guards of his body, by bribing him, and of whom he must therefore have a care. Accordingly, the king complied; for this Corinthus, though he was brought up in Herod’s kingdom, yet was by birth an Arabian; 1.577. o the king ordered him to be taken up immediately, and not only him, but two other Arabians, who were caught with him; the one of them was Sylleus’s friend, the other the head of a tribe. These last, being put to the torture, confessed that they had prevailed with Corinthus, for a large sum of money, to kill Herod; and when they had been further examined before Saturninus, the president of Syria, they were sent to Rome. 1.578. 4. However, Herod did not leave off importuning Pheroras, but proceeded to force him to put away his wife; yet could he not devise any way by which he could bring the woman herself to punishment, although he had many causes of hatred to her; till at length he was in such great uneasiness at her, that he cast both her and his brother out of his kingdom. 1.579. Pheroras took this injury very patiently, and went away into his own tetrarchy, [Perea beyond Jordan,] and sware that there should be but one end put to his flight, and that should be Herod’s death; and that he would never return while he was alive. Nor indeed would he return when his brother was sick, although he earnestly sent for him to come to him, because he had a mind to leave some injunctions with him before he died; 1.580. but Herod unexpectedly recovered. A little afterward Pheroras himself fell sick, when Herod showed great moderation; for he came to him, and pitied his case, and took care of him; but his affection for him did him no good, for Pheroras died a little afterward. 1.581. Now, though Herod had so great an affection for him to the last day of his life, yet was a report spread abroad that he had killed him by poison. However, he took care to have his dead body carried to Jerusalem, and appointed a very great mourning to the whole nation for him, and bestowed a most pompous funeral upon him. And this was the end that one of Alexander’s and Aristobulus’s murderers came to. 1.582. 1. But now the punishment was transferred unto the original author, Antipater, and took its rise from the death of Pheroras; for certain of his freedmen came with a sad countece to the king, and told him that his brother had been destroyed by poison, and that his wife had brought him somewhat that was prepared after an unusual manner, and that, upon his eating it, he presently fell into his distemper; 1.583. that Antipater’s mother and sister, two days before, brought a woman out of Arabia that was skillful in mixing such drugs, that she might prepare a love potion for Pheroras; and that instead of a love potion, she had given him deadly poison; and that this was done by the management of Sylleus, who was acquainted with that woman. 1.584. 2. The king was deeply affected with so many suspicions, and had the maidservants and some of the free women also tortured; one of which cried out in her agonies, “May that God that governs the earth and the heaven punish the author of all these our miseries, Antipater’s mother!” The king took a handle from this confession, and proceeded to inquire further into the truth of the matter. 1.585. So this woman discovered the friendship of Antipater’s mother to Pheroras, and Antipater’s women, as also their secret meetings, and that Pheroras and Antipater had drank with them for a whole night together as they returned from the king, and would not suffer any body, either manservant or maidservant, to be there; while one of the free women discovered the matter. 1.586. 3. Upon this Herod tortured the maidservants every one by themselves separately, who all uimously agreed in the foregoing discoveries, and that accordingly by agreement they went away, Antipater to Rome, and Pheroras to Perea; for that they oftentimes talked to one another thus: That after Herod had slain Alexander and Aristobulus, he would fall upon them, and upon their wives, because, after he had not spared Mariamne and her children, he would spare nobody; and that for this reason it was best to get as far off the wild beast as they were able:— 1.587. and that Antipater oftentimes lamented his own case before his mother, and said to her, that he had already gray hairs upon his head, and that his father grew younger again every day, and that perhaps death would overtake him before he should begin to be a king in earnest; and that in case Herod should die, which yet nobody knew when it would be, the enjoyment of the succession could certainly be but for a little time; 1.588. for that these heads of Hydra, the sons of Alexander and Aristobulus, were growing up: that he was deprived by his father of the hopes of being succeeded by his children, for that his successor after his death was not to be anyone of his own sons, but Herod the son of Mariamne: that in this point Herod was plainly distracted, to think that his testament should therein take place; for he would take care that not one of his posterity should remain, 1.589. because he was of all fathers the greatest hater of his children. Yet does he hate his brother still worse; whence it was that he a while ago gave himself a hundred talents, that he should not have any intercourse with Pheroras. And when Pheroras said, Wherein have we done him any harm? Antipater replied, “I wish he would but deprive us of all we have, and leave us naked and alive only; but it is indeed impossible to escape this wild beast, who is thus given to murder, who will not permit us to love any person openly, although we be together privately; yet may we be so openly too, if we have but the courage and the hands of men.” 1.590. 4. These things were said by the women upon the torture; as also that Pheroras resolved to fly with them to Perea. Now Herod gave credit to all they said, on account of the affair of the hundred talents; for he had no discourse with any body about them, but only with Antipater. So he vented his anger first of all against Antipater’s mother, and took away from her all the ornaments which he had given her, which cost a great many talents, and cast her out of the palace a second time. 1.591. He also took care of Pheroras’s women after their tortures, as being now reconciled to them; but he was in great consternation himself, and inflamed upon every suspicion, and had many innocent persons led to the torture, out of his fear lest he should leave any guilty person untortured. 1.592. 5. And now it was that he betook himself to examine Antipater of Samaria, who was the steward of [his son] Antipater; and upon torturing him, he learned that Antipater had sent for a potion of deadly poison for him out of Egypt, by Antiphilus, a companion of his; that Theudio, the uncle of Antipater, had it from him, and delivered it to Pheroras; for that Antipater had charged him to take his father off while he was at Rome, and so free him from the suspicion of doing it himself: that Pheroras also committed this potion to his wife. 1.593. Then did the king send for her, and bid her bring to him what she had received immediately. So she came out of her house as if she would bring it with her, but threw herself down from the top of the house, in order to prevent any examination and torture from the king. However, it came to pass, as it seems by the providence of God, when he intended to bring Antipater to punishment, that she fell not upon her head, but upon other parts of her body, and escaped. 1.594. The king, when she was brought to him, took care of her (for she was at first quite senseless upon her fall), and asked her why she had thrown herself down; and gave her his oath, that if she would speak the real truth, he would excuse her from punishment; but that if she concealed any thing, he would have her body torn to pieces by torments, and leave no part of it to be buried. 1.595. 6. Upon this the woman paused a little, and then said, “Why do I spare to speak of these grand secrets, now Pheroras is dead? that would only tend to save Antipater, who is all our destruction. Hear then, O king, and be thou, and God himself, who cannot be deceived, witnesses to the truth of what I am going to say. 1.596. When thou didst sit weeping by Pheroras as he was dying, then it was that he called me to him, and said, ‘My dear wife, I have been greatly mistaken as to the disposition of my brother towards me, and have hated him that is so affectionate to me, and have contrived to kill him who is in such disorder for me before I am dead. As for myself, I receive the recompense of my impiety; but do thou bring what poison was left with us by Antipater, and which thou keepest, in order to destroy him, and consume it immediately in the fire in my sight, that I may not be liable to the avenger in the invisible world.’ 1.597. This I brought as he bid me, and emptied the greatest part of it into the fire, but reserved a little of it for my own use against uncertain futurity, and out of my fear of thee.” 1.598. 7. When she had said this, she brought the box, which had a small quantity of this potion in it: but the king let her alone, and transferred the tortures to Antiphilus’s mother and brother; who both confessed that Antiphilus brought the box out of Egypt, and that they had received the potion from a brother of his, who was a physician at Alexandria. 1.599. Then did the ghosts of Alexander and Aristobulus go round all the palace, and became the inquisitors and discoverers of what could not otherwise have been found out and brought such as were the freest from suspicion to be examined; whereby it was discovered that Mariamne, the high priest’s daughter, was conscious of this plot; and her very brothers, when they were tortured, declared it so to be. 1.600. Whereupon the king avenged this insolent attempt of the mother upon her son, and blotted Herod, whom he had by her, out of his testament, who had been before named therein as successor to Antipater. 1.601. 1. After these things were over, Bathyllus came under examination, in order to convict Antipater, who proved the concluding attestation to Antipater’s designs; for indeed he was no other than his freedman. This man came, and brought another deadly potion, the poison of asps, and the juices of other serpents, that if the first potion did not do the business, Pheroras and his wife might be armed with this also to destroy the king. 1.602. He brought also an addition to Antipater’s insolent attempt against his father, which was the letters which he wrote against his brethren, Archelaus and Philip, which were the king’s sons, and educated at Rome, being yet youths, but of generous dispositions. 1.603. Antipater set himself to get rid of these as soon as he could, that they might not be prejudicial to his hopes; and to that end he forged letters against them in the name of his friends at Rome. Some of these he corrupted by bribes to write how they grossly reproached their father, and did openly bewail Alexander and Aristobulus, and were uneasy at their being recalled; for their father had already sent for them, which was the very thing that troubled Antipater. 1.604. 2. Nay, indeed, while Antipater was in Judea, and before he was upon his journey to Rome, he gave money to have the like letters against them sent from Rome, and then came to his father, who as yet had no suspicion of him, and apologized for his brethren, and alleged on their behalf that some of the things contained in those letters were false, and others of them were only youthful errors. 1.605. Yet at the same time that he expended a great deal of his money, by making presents to such as wrote against his brethren, did he aim to bring his accounts into confusion, by buying costly garments, and carpets of various contextures, with silver and gold cups, and a great many more curious things, that so, among the very great expenses laid out upon such furniture, he might conceal the money he had used in hiring men [to write the letters]; for he brought in an account of his expenses, amounting to two hundred talents, his main pretense for which, was the lawsuit that he had been in with Sylleus. 1.606. So while all his rogueries, even those of a lesser sort also, were covered by his greater villainy, while all the examinations by torture proclaimed his attempt to murder his father, and the letters proclaimed his second attempt to murder his brethren,—yet did no one of those that came to Rome inform him of his misfortunes in Judea, although seven months had intervened between his conviction and his return,—so great was the hatred which they all bore to him. 1.607. And perhaps they were the ghosts of those brethren of his that had been murdered that stopped the mouths of those that intended to have told him. He then wrote from Rome, and informed his [friends] that he would soon come to them, and how he was dismissed with honor by Caesar. 1.608. 3. Now the king, being desirous to get this plotter against him into his hands, and being also afraid lest he should some way come to the knowledge how his affairs stood, and be upon his guard, he dissembled his anger in his epistle to him, as in other points he wrote kindly to him, and desired him to make haste, because if he came quickly, he would then lay aside the complaints he had against his mother; for Antipater was not ignorant that his mother had been expelled out of the palace. 1.609. However, he had before received a letter, which contained an account of the death of Pheroras, at Tarentum,—and made great lamentations at it; for which some commended him, as being for his own uncle; though probably this confusion arose on account of his having thereby failed in his plot [on his father’s life]; and his tears were more for the loss of him that was to have been subservient therein, than for [an uncle] Pheroras: moreover, a sort of fear came upon him as to his designs, lest the poison should have been discovered. 1.610. However, when he was in Cilicia, he received the forementioned epistle from his father, and made great haste accordingly. But when he had sailed to Celenderis, a suspicion came into his mind relating to his mother’s misfortunes; as if his soul foreboded some mischief to itself. 1.611. Those therefore of his friends which were the most considerate advised him not rashly to go to his father, till he had learned what were the occasions why his mother had been ejected, because they were afraid that he might be involved in the calumnies that had been cast upon his mother: 1.612. but those that were less considerate, and had more regard to their own desires of seeing their native country, than to Antipater’s safety, persuaded him to make haste home, and not, by delaying his journey, afford his father ground for an ill suspicion, and give a handle to those that raised stories against him; for that in case anything had been moved to his disadvantage, it was owing to his absence, which durst not have been done had he been present. And they said it was absurd to deprive himself of certain happiness, for the sake of an uncertain suspicion, and not rather to return to his father, and take the royal authority upon him, which was in a state of fluctuation on his account only. 1.613. Antipater complied with this last advice, for Providence hurried him on [to his destruction]. So he passed over the sea, and landed at Sebastus, the haven of Caesarea. 1.614. 4. And here he found a perfect and unexpected solitude, while everybody avoided him, and nobody durst come at him; for he was equally hated by all men; and now that hatred had liberty to show itself, and the dread men were in at the king’s anger made men keep from him; for the whole city [of Jerusalem] was filled with the rumors about Antipater, and Antipater himself was the only person who was ignorant of them; for as no man was dismissed more magnificently when he began his voyage to Rome so was no man now received back with greater ignominy. 1.615. And indeed he began already to suspect what misfortunes there were in Herod’s family; yet did he cunningly conceal his suspicion; and while he was inwardly ready to die for fear, he put on a forced boldness of countece. 1.616. Nor could he now fly any whither, nor had he any way of emerging out of the difficulties which encompassed him; nor indeed had he even there any certain intelligence of the affairs of the royal family, by reason of the threats the king had given out: yet had he some small hopes of better tidings; for perhaps nothing had been discovered; or if any discovery had been made, perhaps he should be able to clear himself by impudence and artful tricks, which were the only things he relied upon for his deliverance. 1.617. 5. And with these hopes did he screen himself, till he came to the palace, without any friends with him; for these were affronted, and shut out at the first gate. Now Varus, the president of Syria, happened to be in the palace [at this juncture]; so Antipater went in to his father, and, putting on a bold face, he came near to salute him. 1.618. But Herod Stretched out his hands, and turned his head away from him, and cried out, “Even this is an indication of a parricide, to be desirous to get me into his arms, when he is under such heinous accusations. God confound thee, thou vile wretch; do not thou touch me, till thou hast cleared thyself of these crimes that are charged upon thee. I appoint thee a court where thou art to be judged, and this Varus, who is very seasonably here, to be thy judge; and get thou thy defense ready against tomorrow, for I give thee so much time to prepare suitable excuses for thyself.” 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. 1.620. 1. Now the day following the king assembled a court of his kinsmen and friends, and called in Antipater’s friends also. Herod himself, with Varus, were the presidents; and Herod called for all the witnesses, and ordered them to be brought in; among whom some of the domestic servants of Antipater’s mother were brought in also, who had but a little while before been caught, as they were carrying the following letter from her to her son:—“Since all those things have been already discovered to thy father, do not thou come to him, unless thou canst procure some assistance from Caesar.” 1.621. When this and the other witnesses were introduced, Antipater came in, and falling on his face before his father’s feet, he said, “Father, I beseech thee, do notcondemn me beforehand, but let thy ears be unbiassed, and attend to my defense; for if thou wilt give me leave, I will demonstrate that I am innocent.” 1.622. 2. Hereupon Herod cried out to him to hold his peace, and spake thus to Varus:—“I cannot but think that thou, Varus, and every other upright judge, will determine that Antipater is a vile wretch. I am also afraid that thou wilt abhor my ill fortune, and judge me also myself worthy of all sorts of calamity for begetting such children; while yet I ought rather to be pitied, who have been so affectionate a father to such wretched sons; 1.623. for when I had settled the kingdom on my former sons, even when they were young, and when, besides the charges of their education at Rome, I had made them the friends of Caesar, and made them envied by other kings, I found them plotting against me. These have been put to death, and that, in great measure, for the sake of Antipater; for as he was then young, and appointed to be my successor, I took care chiefly to secure him from danger: 1.624. but this profligate wild beast, when he had been over and above satiated with that patience which I showed him, he made use of that abundance I had given him against myself; for I seemed to him to live too long, and he was very uneasy at the old age I was arrived at; nor could he stay any longer, but would be a king by parricide. And justly I am served by him for bringing him back out of the country to court, when he was of no esteem before, and for thrusting out those sons of mine that were born of the queen, and for making him a successor to my dominions. 1.625. I confess to thee, O Varus, the great folly I was guilty of; for I provoked those sons of mine to act against me, and cut off their just expectations for the sake of Antipater; and indeed what kindness did I do to them; that could equal what I have done to Antipater? to whom I have, in a manner, yielded up my royal authority while I am alive, and whom I have openly named for the successor to my dominions in my testament, and given him a yearly revenue of his own of fifty talents, and supplied him with money to an extravagant degree out of my own revenue; and when he was about to sail to Rome, I gave him three hundred talents, and recommended him, and him alone of all my children, to Caesar, as his father’s deliverer. 1.626. Now what crimes were those other sons of mine guilty of like these of Antipater? and what evidence was there brought against them so strong as there is to demonstrate this son to have plotted against me? 1.627. Yet does this parricide presume to speak for himself, and hopes to obscure the truth by his cunning tricks. Thou, O Varus, must guard thyself against him; for I know the wild beast, and I foresee how plausibly he will talk, and his counterfeit lamentation. This was he who exhorted me to have a care of Alexander when he was alive, and not to entrust my body with all men! This was he who came to my very bed, and looked about, lest anyone should lay snares for me! This was he who took care of my sleep, and secured me fromfear of danger, who comforted me under the trouble I was in upon the slaughter of my sons, and looked to see what affection my surviving brethren bore me! This was my protector, and the guardian of my body! 1.628. And when I call to mind, O Varus, his craftiness upon every occasion, and his art of dissembling, I can hardly believe that I am still alive, and I wonder how I have escaped such a deep plotter of mischief. However, since some fate or other makes my house desolate, and perpetually raises up those that are dearest to me against me, I will, with tears, lament my hard fortune, and privately groan under my lonesome condition; yet am I resolved that no one who thirsts after my blood shall escape punishment, although the evidence should extend itself to all my sons.” 1.629. 3. Upon Herod’s saying this, he was interrupted by the confusion he was in; but ordered Nicolaus, one of his friends, to produce the evidence against Antipater. But in the meantime Antipater lifted up his head (for he lay on the ground before his father’s feet) and cried out aloud, 1.630. “Thou, O father, hast made my apology for me; for how can I be a parricide, whom thou thyself confessest to have always had for thy guardian? Thou callest my filial affection prodigious lies and hypocrisy! how then could it be that I, who was so subtle in other matters, should here be so mad as not to understand that it was not easy that he who committed so horrid a crime should be concealed from men, but impossible that he should be concealed from the Judge of heaven, who sees all things, and is present everywhere? 1.631. or did not I know what end my brethren came to, on whom God inflicted so great a punishment for their evil designs against thee? And indeed what was there that could possibly provoke me against thee? Could the hope of being king do it? I was a king already. Could I suspect hatred from thee? No. Was not I beloved by thee? And what other fear could I have? Nay, by preserving thee safe, I was a terror to others. 1.632. Did I want money? No; for who was able to expend so much as myself? Indeed, father, had I been the most execrable of all mankind, and had I had the soul of the most cruel wild beast, must I not have been overcome with the benefits thou hadst bestowed upon me? whom, as thou thyself sayest, thou broughtest [into the palace]; whom thou didst prefer before so many of thy sons; whom thou madest a king in thine own lifetime, and, by the vast magnitude of the other advantages thou bestowest on me, thou madest me an object of envy. 1.633. O miserable man! that thou shouldst undergo this bitter absence, and thereby afford a great opportunity for envy to arise against thee, and a long space for such as were laying designs against thee! Yet was I absent, father, on thy affairs, that Sylleus might not treat thee with contempt in thine old age. Rome is a witness to my filial affection, and so is Caesar, the ruler of the habitable earth, who oftentimes called me Philopater. Take here the letters he hath sent thee, they are more to be believed than the calumnies raised here; these letters are my only apology; these I use as the demonstration of that natural affection I have to thee. 1.634. Remember that it was against my own choice that I sailed [to Rome], as knowing the latent hatred that was in the kingdom against me. It was thou, O father, however unwillingly, who hast been my ruin, by forcing me to allow time for calumnies against me, and envy at me. However, I am come hither, and am ready to hear the evidence there is against me. If I be a parricide, I have passed by land and by sea, without suffering any misfortune on either of them: 1.635. but this method of trial is no advantage to me; for it seems, O father, that I am already condemned, both before God and before thee; and as I am already condemned, I beg that thou wilt not believe the others that have been tortured, but let fire be brought to torment me; let the racks march through my bowels; have no regard to any lamentations that this polluted body can make; for if I be a parricide, I ought not to die without torture.” 1.636. Thus did Antipater cry out with lamentation and weeping, and moved all the rest, and Varus in particular, to commiserate his case. Herod was the only person whose passion was too strong to permit him to weep, as knowing that the testimonies against him were true. |

"\"In the beginning of God's creating...\" - Six things preceded the creation of the world; some of them were created and some of them were decided to be created. The Torah and the Throne of Glory were created. How do we know the Torah was? As it says (Proverbs 8:22): \"God made me at the beginning of his way.\" How do we know the Throne of Glory was? As it says (Psalms 93:2): \"Your throne is established as of old etc.\" The Patriarchs, Israel, the Temple, and the name of the Messiah were decided to be created. How do we know the Patriarchs were? As it says (Hosea 9:10): \"Like grapes in the wilderness etc.\" How do we know Israel was? As it says (Psalms 74:2): \"Remember your congregation, whom you purchased from old.\" How do we know the Temple was? As it says (Jeremiah 17:12): \"Your throne of glory, on high from the beginning etc.\" How do we know the name of the Messiah was? As it says (Psalms 72:17): \"May his name exist forever etc. [his name shall be Yinnon as long as the sun].\" Rabbi Ahavah said in the name of Rabbi Ze'ira: Even repentance was, as it says (Psalms 90:2): \"Before the mountains were birthed,\" and at the same time (Psalms 90:3), \"You turned man to contrition etc.\" However, I do not know which was first--if the Torah preceded the Throne of Glory or the Throne of Glory preceded the Torah. Rabbi Abba Bar Cahana said: The Torah preceded the Throne of Glory, as it says (Proverbs 8:22): \"God made me at the beginning of his way, the first of his works of old.\" This is before that of which it is written (Psalms 93:2): \"Your throne is established as of old.\" Rabbi Hunna and Rabbi Yirmiyah in the name of Rabbi Shmuel the son of Rabbi Yitzchak said: The thought of Israel was before everything. This is like a king who was married to a woman and did not have a son. One time the king was in the market and said: \"Take this ink and pen for my son.\" They said: \"He does not have a son.\" He replied: \"Take them; the king must expect a son, because otherwise he would not command that the ink and pen be taken.\" Similarly, if there was no expectation of Israel receiving it after 26 generations, God would not have written in the Torah: \"Command the children of Israel\" or \"Speak to the children of Israel.\" Rabbi Bannai said: The world and its contents were only created in the merit of the Torah, as it says (Proverbs 3:19): \"God founded the world with wisdom etc.\" Rabbi Berachiyah said: In the merit of Moses, as it says (Deuteronomy 33:21): \"He saw a first part for himself.\" Rabbi Hunna said in the name of Rabbi Matanah: The world was created in the merit of three things--challah, tithes, and first fruits. The verse \"In the beginning God created\" refers to challah, as it says (Numbers 15:20): \"The beginning of your doughs.\" It also refers to tithes, as it says (Deuteronomy 18:4): \"The beginning of your grains.\" It also refers to first fruits, as it says (Exodus 23:19): \"The beginning of the fruits of the land.\"", |

Conclude from it that the property of the visitor is forbidden to the ill person. /b ,§ Apropos the i halakhot /i of visiting the ill, the Gemara cites related statements. b Reish Lakish said: From where /b is there b an allusion from the Torah to visiting the ill? /b It is b as it is stated: “If these men die the common death of all men, and /b be visited after b the visitation of all men, /b then the Lord has not sent me” (Numbers 16:29). The Gemara asks: b From where /b in this verse b may /b visiting the ill b be inferred? Rava said /b that this is what Moses is saying: b If these men, /b the congregation of Korah, b die the common death of all men, who become ill, and are confined to their beds, and people come to visit them; /b if that happens to them, b what do the people say? /b They say: b The Lord has not sent me for this /b task.,Apropos Korah and his congregation, b Rava interpreted /b the repetitive formulation in this verse b homiletically: “But if the Lord will create a creation [ i beria yivra /i ], /b and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them, and all that is theirs, and they will descend alive into the pit, then you shall understand that these men have despised God” (Numbers 16:30). Here, Moses is saying: b If Gehenna /b is already b a creation [ i beria /i ] /b and exists, b that is optimal; if not, God should create [ i yivra /i ] /b it now.,The Gemara asks: b Is that so? /b Was there uncertainty at that point as to whether Gehenna had already been created? b But isn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Seven phenomena were created before the world was created, and they are: Torah, and repentance, the Garden of Eden, and Gehenna, the Throne of Glory, and the Temple, and the name of the Messiah. /b ,The Gemara provides sources for each of these phenomena. b Torah /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “The Lord made me as the beginning of His way, /b the first of His works of old” (Proverbs 8:22). Based on the subsequent verses, this is referring to the Torah., b Repentance /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “Before the mountains were brought forth, /b or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God” (Psalms 90:2), b and it is written /b immediately afterward: b “You return man to contrition; /b and You say: Repent, children of man” (Psalms 90:3)., b The Garden of Eden /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden eastward [ i mikedem /i ]” /b (Genesis 2:8). “Eastward [ i mikedem /i ]” is interpreted in the sense of before [ i mikodem /i ], i.e., before the world was created., b Gehenna /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “For its hearth is ordained of old” /b (Isaiah 30:33). The hearth, i.e., Gehenna, was created before the world was created., b The Throne of Glory /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “Your throne is established of old, /b You are from everlasting” (Psalms 93:2)., b The Temple /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “Your Throne of Glory on high from the beginning, /b in the place of our Temple” (Jeremiah 17:12)., b The name of the Messiah /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written /b about him: b “May his name endure forever; /b his name existed before the sun” (Psalms 72:17). The name of the Messiah predated the creation of the sun and the rest of the world. Apparently, Rava’s explanation that Moses was uncertain whether Gehenna had been created yet is contradicted by this i baraita /i ., b Rather, /b the interpretation of the repetitive formulation of the verse is that b this is what /b Moses b is saying: If the opening was created for /b Gehenna, that is b optimal, and if not, the Lord should create /b it now. The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it written: /b “And b there is nothing new under the sun” /b (Ecclesiastes 1:9)? How, then, could Moses request that God create the mouth of Gehenna now? The Gemara answers: b This is what /b Moses b said: If the mouth /b of Gehenna b is not close to here, let /b God b bring it closer. /b ,Apropos the conflict between Moses and Korah, the Gemara cites an additional verse that b Rava interpreted homiletically, and some say that /b it was b Rabbi Yitzḥak /b who b said: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “The sun and moon stood still in their habitation [ i zevula /i ], /b at the light of Your arrows as they go, at the shining of Your glittering spear” (Habakkuk 3:11)? b What do the sun and moon seek in i zevul /i , /b which is the fourth heaven; b aren’t they fixed in i rakia /i , /b the second heaven? Rather, this b teaches that the sun and moon ascended from i rakia /i to i zevul /i and said before Him: Master of the Universe! If You do justice for the son of Amram, /b i.e., Moses, in his dispute with Korah, b we /b will continue to b illuminate /b the world, b and if not, we /b will b not illuminate /b the world., b At that moment, /b the Holy One, Blessed be He, b shot arrows, and /b threw b spears at them, /b and b said to them: Each and every day /b idolaters b bow to you and you /b continue to b illuminate /b the world and do not protest. b In My honor, you did not protest, but in honor of flesh and blood, you protested? And /b ever since, b each and every day /b the heavenly hosts b shoot arrows and /b throw b spears at /b the sun and the moon, and only then do they emerge and b illuminate /b the world, b as it is stated: “At the light of Your arrows as they go, at the shining of Your glittering spear” /b (Habakkuk 3:11).,§ Returning to the topic of visiting the ill, the Gemara states: It b is taught /b in a i baraita /i : The mitzva of b visiting the ill has no /b fixed b measure. /b The Gemara asks: b What is /b the meaning of: b Has no /b fixed b measure? Rav Yosef thought to say: There is no /b fixed b measure for the granting of its reward. Abaye said to him: And do all /b other b mitzvot have /b a fixed b measure for the granting of their reward? But didn’t we learn /b in a mishna ( i Avot /i 2:1): b Be /b as b meticulous in /b the observance of b a minor mitzva as a major one, as you do not know the granting of reward for mitzvot. Rather, Abaye said: /b There is no fixed measure for the disparity between the ill person and his visitor, as b even a prominent /b person pays a visit b to a lowly /b person and should not say that doing so is beneath a person of his standing. b Rava said: /b There is no fixed measure for the number of times that one should visit the ill, as b even one hundred times a day /b is appropriate., b Rav Aḥa bar Ḥanina said: Anyone who visits an ill person takes /b from him b one-sixtieth of his suffering. /b The Sages b said to him: If so, let sixty /b people b enter /b to visit him, b and stand him up, /b and restore him to health. Rav Aḥa bar Ḥanina b said to them: /b It is b like the tenths of the school of Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi, who said that each of one’s daughters inherits one-tenth of his possessions. His intent was that each daughter would receive one-tenth of the remainder after the previous daughter took her portion. Here too, each visitor takes from the ill person one-sixtieth of the suffering that remains, and consequently a degree of suffering will always remain with the ill person. b Furthermore, /b visiting is effective in easing the suffering of the ill person only when the visitor is b one /b born under the b same constellation /b as the ill person.,The Gemara elaborates on the tenths of the school of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, b as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b says: A daughter who is supported from the property of /b her b brothers /b after the death of their father b receives one-tenth /b of the b estate /b as her dowry. The Sages b said to Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi: b According to your statement, /b in the case of b one who has ten daughters and a son, no /b property b at all /b remains b for the son in a place /b where there are b daughters, /b as they receive the entire inheritance. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi b said to them: The first /b daughter b takes one-tenth of the estate, the second /b takes one-tenth b of /b that b which /b the first b left /b of the inheritance, b the third /b takes one-tenth b of /b that b which /b the second b left /b of the inheritance, and so on. After each succeeding daughter takes her share, they pool their resources and b then divide /b the property b equally. /b Therefore, the son is left with a share of the inheritance.,The Gemara relates: b Rav Ḥelbo fell ill. Rav Kahana went out and announced: /b |

The Gemara asks: b And in accordance with whose /b opinion b do /b Ulla and Rabba bar bar Ḥana b hold, /b leading them to reject Rabbi Abba’s statement of Rabbi Yoḥa’s opinion? The Gemara answers: They hold b in accordance with that /b which b Rabbi Binyamin bar Yefet said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: One recites the blessing over fire both at the conclusion of Shabbat and at the conclusion of Yom Kippur. And that is /b how b the people act. /b ,The Gemara b raises an objection /b from that which was previously taught: b One recites a blessing over fire only at the conclusion of Shabbat /b and not at the conclusion of Festivals or Yom Kippur, b since /b the conclusion of Shabbat b is /b the time of b its original creation. /b And once b he sees it, he recites the blessing immediately. Rabbi Yehuda says: /b One does not recite the blessing immediately; rather, he waits and b arranges /b and recites the blessings over fire and spices b over the cup /b of wine that accompanies the recitation of havdala. b And Rabbi Yoḥa said: The i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda. /b How does Rabbi Yoḥa explain the baraita?,The Gemara answers: This is b not difficult. Here, /b where Rabbi Yoḥa said that one recites the blessing at the conclusion of Yom Kippur, it is referring to b fire that rested /b on Yom Kippur, i.e., fire for which no prohibition was involved in its kindling, either because it was kindled before Yom Kippur or because it was kindled in a permitted manner, e.g., for a dangerously ill person. b There, /b where Rabbi Yoḥa said that the blessing is recited only at the conclusion of Shabbat, it is referring to fire b generated from wood and from stones /b after Shabbat, similar to the primordial fire, which was created at the conclusion of Shabbat.,It was b taught /b in b one /b i baraita /i : With regard to b fire generated from wood and stones, one recites a blessing over it; and /b it was b taught /b in b one /b other i baraita /i : b One does not recite a blessing over it. /b This apparent contradiction is b not difficult. Here, /b where the i baraita /i states that one recites a blessing, it is referring b to the conclusion of Shabbat. There, /b where the i baraita /i states that one does not recite a blessing, it is referring b to the conclusion of Yom Kippur. /b , b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi would b distribute /b the blessings over the fire and the spices, reciting each when the opportunity arose. b Rabbi Ḥiyya /b would b collect them, /b reciting all the blessings at the same time in the framework of i havdala /i . b Rabbi Yitzḥak bar Avdimi said: Even though Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b distributes them /b and recites each blessing at his first opportunity, b he repeats /b the blessings b and arranges /b and recites b them over the cup /b of wine b in order to discharge the obligation of his children and the members of his household. /b ,The Gemara stated that fire was originally created at the conclusion of Shabbat. The Gemara asks: b Was fire created at the conclusion of Shabbat? Wasn’t /b it b taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Ten /b miraculous b phenomena were created /b in heaven b on Shabbat eve during twilight, /b and were revealed in the world only later? b They were: /b Miriam’s b well, and the manna /b that fell in the desert, b and the rainbow, writing [ i ketav /i /b ], b and /b the b writing instrument [ i mikhtav /i ], and the tablets /b of the Ten Commandments, b and the grave of Moses, and the cave in which Moses and Elijah stood, the opening of the mouth of /b Balaam’s b donkey, and the opening of the earth’s mouth to swallow the wicked /b in the incident involving Korah., b Rabbi Neḥemya said in the name of his father: Even the fire and the mule, /b which is a product of crossbreeding, were created at that time. b Rabbi Yoshiya said in the name of his father: Even the ram /b slaughtered by Abraham in place of Isaac, b and the i shamir /i /b worm used to shape the stones for the altar, were created at that time. b Rabbi Yehuda says: Even the tongs /b were created at this time. b He would say: Tongs /b can be b fashioned /b only b with /b other b tongs, but who fashioned the first tongs? Indeed, /b the first pair of tongs b was fashioned at the hand of Heaven. /b An anonymous questioner b said to him: It is possible to fashion /b tongs b with a mold and align it /b without the need for other tongs. b Indeed, /b the first tongs b were a creation of man. /b In any event, fire was originally created before Shabbat, not at the conclusion of Shabbat.,The Gemara answers: This is b not difficult. This /b i baraita /i is referring b to our fire, and that /b i baraita /i is referring b to the fire /b of b Gehenna. /b The Gemara explains: b Our fire /b was created b at the conclusion of Shabbat, /b but b the fire of Gehenna was created on Shabbat eve. /b The Gemara proceeds to ask: b Was the fire of Gehenna created on Shabbat eve? Wasn’t /b it b taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Seven phenomena were created before the world was created, and they are: Torah, and repentance, and the Garden of Eden, and Gehenna, and the Throne of Glory, and the Temple, and the name of Messiah. /b ,The Gemara provides sources for the notion that each of these phenomena was created before the world was. b Torah /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “The Lord made me as the beginning of His way, /b the first of His works of old” (Proverbs 8:22), which, based on the subsequent verses, is referring to the Torah. b Repentance /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “Before the mountains were brought forth, /b or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God,” b and it is written /b immediately afterward: b “You return man to contrition; and You say: Repent, children of man” /b (Psalms 90:2–3)., b The Garden of Eden /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “And God planted the Garden of Eden in the east [ i mikedem /i ]” /b (Genesis 2:8). The term: In the east [ i mikedem /i ] is interpreted in the sense of: Before [ i mikodem /i ], i.e., before the world was created. b Gehenna /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written: “For its hearth is ordained of old” /b (Isaiah 30:33). The hearth, i.e., Gehenna, was created before the world was created., b The Throne of Glory and the Temple /b were created before the world was created, b as it is written: “Your Throne of Glory on high from the beginning, in the place of our Sanctuary” /b (Jeremiah 17:12). b The name of Messiah /b was created before the world was created, b as it is written /b in the chapter discussing the Messiah: b “May his name endure forever; his name existed before the sun” /b (Psalms 72:17). The name of Messiah already existed before the creation of the sun and the rest of the world. This i baraita /i states that Gehenna was created before the world was created and not during twilight before the first Shabbat. , b They say /b in answer: The b void /b of Gehenna b was created before the world, but its fire was created on Shabbat eve. /b ,The Gemara asks: b And was its fire created on Shabbat eve? Wasn’t /b it b taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yosei says: The fire that the Holy One, Blessed be He, created on the second day of the week will never be extinguished, as it is stated: “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm shall not die, nor will their fire be extinguished; /b and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh” (Isaiah 66:24)? b And Rabbi Bana’a, son /b of b Rabbi Ulla, said: Why doesn’t the verse state: That it was good, /b at the end of the b second day of the week /b of Creation, as it does on the other days? It is b because on /b that day b the fire of Gehenna was created. And Rabbi Elazar said /b that b even though: That it was good, was not stated with regard to /b the creations of the second day, b He later included it /b on the b sixth day, as it is stated: “And God saw all that He had done and behold, it was very good” /b (Genesis 1:31)., b Rather, the void /b of Gehenna was created b before the world was created, and its fire /b was created only b on the second day of the week. And /b the thought b arose /b in God’s b mind to create our fire on Shabbat eve; /b however, b it was not /b actually b created until the conclusion of Shabbat, as it was taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yosei says: /b The thoughts of b two phenomena arose in /b God’s b mind on Shabbat eve, but were not /b actually b created until the conclusion of Shabbat. At the conclusion of Shabbat, the Holy One, Blessed be He, granted Adam, the first /b man, creative b knowledge similar to divine /b knowledge, b and he brought two rocks and rubbed them against each other, and /b the first b fire emerged from them. Adam /b also b brought two animals, /b a female horse and a male donkey, b and mated them with each other, and /b the resultant offspring that b emerged from them /b was b a mule. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel /b disagrees and b says /b that the first b mule was in the days of Anah, as it is stated: /b “And these are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; b this is Anah who found the mules in the wilderness, /b as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon his father” (Genesis 36:24)., b The interpreters /b of Torah b symbolism [ i ḥamurot /i ] would say: Anah was /b the product of an incestuous relationship, and as a result he was spiritually b unfit /b to produce offspring. b Therefore, /b he b brought /b an example of b unfitness, /b i.e., an animal physically unfit to produce offspring, b into the world, as it is stated: “These are the sons of Seir the Horite, /b the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, and Shoval, and Zibeon, and Anah” (Genesis 36:20). b And it is /b also b stated: “And these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah” /b (Genesis 36:24). One verse describes both Anah and Zibeon as sons of Seir, meaning that they are brothers, while the other verse describes Anah as Zibeon’s son. b Rather, this teaches that Zibeon cohabited with his mother, /b the wife of Seir, b and fathered Anah from her. /b He is called Seir’s son although in fact he was the offspring of Seir’s son and Seir’s wife.,The Gemara asks: b And perhaps there were two /b people named b Anah, /b one the son of Zibeon and the other the son of Seir? b Rava said: I will state a matter /b that even b King Shapur did not state. And who is /b this King Shapur? This cannot be a reference to Shapur, king of Persia; rather, it must be an epithet for someone else. He is b Shmuel, /b whose legal rulings were accepted by the public like the edicts of a king by his subjects. b Some say /b a different version, that it was b Rav Pappa /b who b said: I will state a matter /b that even b King Shapur did not state. And who is he /b that Rav Pappa is referring to by the epithet King Shapur? He is b Rava. The verse said: “This is Anah /b who found the mules,” indicating that b he is /b the same b Anah /b mentioned b initially /b in the earlier verse., b The Sages taught: Ten phenomena were created on Shabbat eve during twilight, and they were: /b Miriam’s b well, and manna, and /b the b rainbow, writing, and the writing instrument, and the tablets, the grave of Moses, and the cave in which Moses and Elijah stood, the opening of the mouth of /b Balaam’s b donkey, and the opening of the mouth of the earth to swallow the wicked /b in the time of Korah. b And some say /b that b even Aaron’s staff /b was created then with b its almonds and its blossoms. Some say /b that b even the demons /b were created at this time. b And some say /b that b even /b |
