Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book I, Chapter 19 Concerning Jacob's Flight Into Mesopotamia, By Reason Of The Fear He Was In Of His Brother 1. Now Jacob was sent by his mother to Mesopotamia, in order to marry Laban her brother's daughter (which marriage was permitted by Isaac, on account of his obsequiousness to the desires of his wife); and he accordingly journeyed through the land of Canaan; and because he hated the people of that country, he would not lodge with any of them, but took up his lodging in the open air, and laid his head on a heap of stones that he had gathered together. At which time he saw in his sleep such a vision standing by him: - he seemed to see a ladder that reached from the earth unto heaven, and persons descending upon the ladder that seemed more excellent than human; and at last God himself stood above it, and was plainly visible to him, who, calling him by his name, spake to him in these words: - 3. Such were the predictions which God made to Jacob; whereupon he became very joyful at what he had seen and heard; and he poured oil on the stones, because on them the prediction of such great benefits was made. He also vowed a vow, that he would offer sacrifices upon them, if he lived and returned safe; and if he came again in such a condition, he would give the tithe of what he had gotten to God. He also judged the place to be honorable and gave it the name of Bethel, which, in the Greek, is interpreted

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book I, Chapter 14 Concerning Sarah Abraham's Wife; And How She Ended Her Days NOW Sarah died a little while after, having lived one hundred and twenty-seven years. They buried her in Hebron; the Canaanites publicly allowing them a burying-place; which piece of ground Abraham bought for four hundred shekels, of Ephron, an inhabitant of Hebron. And both Abraham and his descendants built themselves sepulchers in that place. interhack library antiquities Matt Curtin Last modified: Fri Apr 17 11:40:06 EDT 1998

45. Concerning Balaam The Prophet And What Kind Of Man He Was Chapter by the firstcentury Jewish historian josephus. http://www.interhack.net/projects/library/antiquities-jews/b4c6.html

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book IV, Chapter 6 Concerning Balaam The Prophet And What Kind Of Man He Was 1. Now Moses, when he had brought his army to Jordan; pitched his camp in the great plain over against Jericho. This city is a very happy situation, and very fit for producing palm-trees and balsam. And now the Israelites began to be very proud of themselves, and were very eager for fighting. Moses then, after he had offered for a few days sacrifices of thanksgiving to God, and feasted the people, sent a party of armed men to lay waste the country of the Midianites, and to take their cities. Now the occasion which he took for making war upon them was this that follows : be your resolution, since you make use of such customs and conduct of life as are entirely different from all other men, (12) insomuch that your kinds of food are peculiar to yourselves, and your kinds of drink not common to others, it will be absolutely necessary, if you would have us for your wives, that you do withal worship our gods. Nor can there be any other demonstration of the kindness which you say you already have, and promise to have hereafter to us than this, that you worship the same gods that we do. For has any one reason to complain, that now you are come into this country, you should worship the proper gods of the same country? especially while our gods are common to all men, and yours such as belong to nobody else but yourselves." So they said they must either come into such methods of divine worship as all others came into, or else they must look out for another world, wherein they may live by themselves, according to their own laws.

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book II, Chapter 4 Concerning The Signal Chastity Of Joseph 1. NOW Potiphar, an Egyptian, who was chief cook to king Pharaoh, bought Joseph of the merchants, who sold him to him. He had him in the greatest honor, and taught him the learning that became a free man, and gave him leave to make use of a diet better than was allotted to slaves. He intrusted also the care of his house to him. So he enjoyed these advantages, yet did not he leave that virtue which he had before, upon such a change of his condition; but he demonstrated that wisdom was able to govern the uneasy passions of life, in such as have it in reality, and do not only put it on for a show, under a present state of prosperity. interhack library antiquities Matt Curtin Last modified: Fri Apr 17 12:40:23 EDT 1998

47. From Jesus To Christ: A Portrait Of Jesus' World: Josephus, Our Primary Source One of our most important sources for all the history of this period is the Jewish historian, josephus. josephus himself grew up http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/portrait/josephus.html

var loc = "../../../"; L. Michael White: Professor of Classics and Director of the Religious Studies Program University of Texas at Austin One of our most important sources for all the history of this period is the Jewish historian, Josephus. Josephus himself grew up in and around Jerusalem; he claims to have been a part of the Pharisaic group. But he was also obviously from a fairly prominent family. He's very important because he lived through and was actually part of the first revolt against Rome . After the revolt, he then went on to live in a lavish retirement at Rome itself. And there wrote the history of the Jewish War, and also another work, called "The Antiquities of the Jews," a long, extensive history of the Jewish people ... from Biblical days coming down to his own time. Josephus wrote mostly at the end of the first century ... around the year 100, just a few years before and after. And so he gives us a perspective on the whole century of development that had gone before, from the time of Herod the Great down to his own day, when these profound changes were taking place. And how reliable was he as an historian?

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book I, Chapter 21 Concerning The Violation Of Dina's Chastity 1. HEREUPON Jacob came to the place, till this day called Tents (Succoth); from whence he went to Shechem, which is a city of the Canaanites. Now as the Shechemites were keeping a festival Dina, who was the only daughter of Jacob, went into the city to see 2. Now while Jacob was astonished at the greatness of this act, and was severely blaming his sons for it, God stood by him, and bid him be of good courage; but to purify his tents, and to offer those sacrifices which he had vowed to offer when he went first into Mesopotamia, and saw his vision. As he was therefore purifying his followers, he lighted upon the gods of Laban; (for he did not before know they were stolen by Rachel;) and he hid them in the earth, under an oak, in Shechem. And departing thence, he offered sacrifice at Bethel, the place where he saw his dream, when he went first into Mesopotamia. 3. And when he was gone thence, and was come over against Ephrata, he there buried Rachel, who died in child-bed: she was the only one of Jacob's kindred that had not the honor of burial at Hebron. And when he had mourned for her a great while, he called the son that was born of her Benjamin, (39) because of the sorrow the mother had with him. These are all the children of Jacob, twelve males and one female. - Of them eight were legitimate, - viz. six of Lea, and two of Rachel; and four were of the handmaids, two of each; all whose names have been set down already.

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book VI, Chapter 9 How The Philistines Made Another Expedition Against The Hebrews Under The Reign Of Saul; And How They Were Overcome By David's Slaying Goliath In Single Combat 3. Now Saul wondered at the boldness and alacrity of David, but durst not presume on his ability, by reason of his age; but said he must on that account be too weak to fight with one that was skilled in the art of war. "I undertake this enterprise," said David, "in dependence on God's being with me, for I have had experience already of his assistance; for I once pursued after and caught a lion that assaulted my flocks, and took away a lamb from them; and I snatched the lamb out of the wild beast's mouth, and when he leaped upon me with violence, I took him by the tail, and dashed him against the ground. In the same manner did I avenge myself on a bear also; and let this adversary of ours be esteemed like one of these wild beasts, since he has a long while reproached our army, and blasphemed our God, who yet will reduce him under my power." interhack library antiquities Matt Curtin Last modified: Wed Apr 15 19:48:23 EDT 1998

50. Josephus'Testimony To Jesus josephus Testimony to Jesus (Testimonium Flavianum) josephus, Antiquities 18. 6364. The words in ALL CAPS are likely interpolations http://www.uncc.edu/jdtabor/josephus-jesus.html

Josephus' Testimony to Jesus (Testimonium Flavianum) Josephus, Antiquities The words in ALL CAPS are likely interpolations added by Christian copyists over the centuries in an attempt to make Josephus support faith in Jesus as the Christ. We have only three Greek manuscripts of this section of Josephus, all from the 11th century. These phrases, added rather clumsily, appear to be rather obvious additions even to the modern reader in English. Once restored to its more original reading Josephus offers us a most fascinating reference to Jesus. Indeed, it is the earliest reference to Jesus outside the New Testament, and its rather matter of fact, neutral reporting, makes it all the more valuable to the historian. It is worth noting that in his earlier work, The Jewish War , written shortly after the revolt under the auspices of the Emperor Vespasian, he mentioned neither Jesus, nor John the Baptist, nor James, while in Antiquities , written in the early 90s C.E., he mentions all three. For an excellent discussion of this text see John Meier

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book VI, Chapter 4 The Appointment Of A King Over The Israelites, Whose Name Was Saul; And This By The Command Of God Rachel's Monument, where thou shalt meet with those that will tell thee thy asses are found; after this, when thou comest to Gabatha, thou shalt overtake a company of prophets, and thou shalt be seized with the Divine Spirit, (8) and prophesy along with them, till every one that sees thee shall be astonished, and wonder, and say, Whence is it that the son of Kish has arrived at this degree of happiness? And when these signs have happened to thee, know that God is with thee; then do thou salute thy father and thy kindred. Thou shalt also come when I send for thee to Gilgal, that we may offer thank-offerings to God for these blessings." When Samuel had said this, and foretold these things he sent the young man away. Now all things fell out to Saul according to the prophecy of Samuel. 5. When the Hebrews had so done, the lot fell upon the tribe of Benjamin; and when the lot was cast for the families of this tribe, that which was called

52. Josephus' References To Crucifixion josephus (b. 37 CE) is our best literary source for the practice of crucifixion in Palestine during the GrecoRoman period. As a http://www.uncc.edu/jdtabor/cruc-josephus.html

Josephus (b. 37 C.E.) is our best literary source for the practice of crucifixion in Palestine during the Greco-Roman period. As a general in command of the Jewish forces of Galilee in the Great Revolt against Rome (66-73 C.E.), he reports his attempts to save the lives of three crucified captives by appealing directly to the Roman general Titus. One survived the cross under a physician's care, the other two could not be saved. Life 76 And when I was sent by Titus Caesar with Cerealins, and a thousand horsemen, to a certain village called Thecoa, in order to know whether it were a place fit for a camp, as I came back, I saw many captives crucified, and remembered three of them as my former acquaintance. I was very sorry at this in my mind, and went with tears in my eyes to Titus, and told him of them; so he immediately commanded them to be taken down, and to have the greatest care taken of them, in order to their recovery; yet two of them died under the physician's hands, while the third recovered. Antiquities 12: Chapter 5 The invasion of Palestine by Antiochus Epiphanies c. 167 B.C.E. giving rise to the Maccabean revolt (Channukah). Josephus graphic and bloody account mentions crucifixion — not clear just what it implies in this context but certainly some kind of hanging.

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book V, Chapter 10 Concerning The Birth Of Samuel; And How He Foretold The Calamity That Befell The Sons Of Eli 3. So she came to her husband full of hope, and ate her meal with gladness. And when they had returned to their own country she found herself with child, and they had a son born to them, to whom they gave the name of Samuel, which may be styled one that was asked of God. They therefore came to the tabernacle to offer sacrifice for the birth of the child, and brought their tithes with them; but the woman remembered the vows she had made concerning her son, and delivered him to Eli, dedicating him to God, that he might become a prophet. Accordingly his hair was suffered to grow long, and his drink was water. So Samuel dwelt and was brought up in the temple. But Elcanah had other sons by Hannah, and three daughters. interhack library antiquities Matt Curtin Last modified: Wed Apr 15 19:48:23 EDT 1998

54. The Testimonium Flavianum A critical study of the authenticity of the two parts of the Testimonium Flavianum. http://www.geocities.com/b_d_muller/appe.html

The Testimonium Flavianum (Josephus' Antiquities, XVIII, III, 3) Note: quotations from Josephus' works are from Wm. Whiston's translation. Front page: Jesus, a historical reconstruction The Testimonium Flavianum is appearing in all the oldest copies of 'Antiquities of the Jews', which was written by the Jewish historian Josephus (37-105?) and published in 93: Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. . And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day. The first mention of the Testimonium Flavianum, some 225 years after the writing of 'Antiquities', was by the prominent bishop Eusebius, an ardent apologist. 1. General comments:

Home Welcome Studies Area NET Bible Their Relation to the New Testament by Greg Herrick, Ph.D. A. General Areas of Contribution Josephus was born in Jerusalem in A.D. 37/38 and became a historian writing principally about the Jewish people up until his death ca. 100. Four of his works are extant: 1) The Jewish War; 2) The Jewish Antiquities; 3) Vita (life) and 4) Against Apion. These works provide us with knowledge of the New Testament era which we otherwise would not possess. In short, Josephus has contributed to our understanding of the social, political, historical (incl. chronological data) and religious backgrounds of the New Testament. B. Specific Examples 1. The Hasmoneans Josephus talks about the Hasmonean line, including such people as Judas ben Mattathias ( Ant. 12. 6. 1-4); Judas the Maccabee ( Ant. 12. 7-11); John Hyrcanus I ( Ant. 13. 8-12); Aristobulus I ( Ant. 13. 10. 1-3); Alexander Jannaeus ( War Ant. 13. 12-16); Alexandra Salome ( Ant. 13. 14. 1, 5, 6); Hyrcanus II ( Ant. 14. 1-4, 8; Aristobulus II ( Ant.
