82. How God Overthrew The Nation Of The Sodomites, Out Of His Wrath Against Them For Chapter about Lot and the destruction of Sodom by the firstcentury Jewish historian josephus. http://www.interhack.net/projects/library/antiquities-jews/b1c11.html

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book I, Chapter 11 How God Overthrew The Nation Of The Sodomites, Out Of His Wrath Against Them For Their Sins 1. ABOUT this time the Sodomites grew proud, on account of their riches and great wealth; they became unjust towards men, and impious towards God, insomuch that they did not call to mind the advantages they received from him: they hated strangers, and abused themselves with Sodomitical practices. God was therefore much displeased at them, and determined to punish them for their pride, and to overthrow their city, and to lay waste their country, until there should neither plant nor fruit grow out of it. Zoar, for that is the word which the Hebrews use for a small thing. There it was that he lived a miserable life, on account of his having no company, and his want of provisions. 5. But his daughters, thinking that all mankind were destroyed, approached to their father, (24) though taking care not to be perceived. This they did, that human kind might not utterly fail: and they bare sons; the son of the elder was named Moab, Which denotes one derived from his father; the younger bare Ammon, which name denotes one derived from a kinsman. The former of whom was the father of the Moabites, which is even still a great nation; the latter was the father of the Ammonites; and both of them are inhabitants of Celesyria. And such was the departure of Lot from among the Sodomites.

home Judaea index Flavius Josephus In the war between the Jews and the Romans of 66-70 CE, the Jewish general Joseph son of Matthias defended Galilee against the Roman legions. After he had been defeated, he defected to his enemies, and advised the Roman general Vespasian. When the latter became emperor, his adviser started a career as a historian who tried to explain Judaism to the Greeks and Romans. His most important works are the Jewish War , the Jewish Antiquities , an Autobiography and an apology of Judaism Against Apion (or Against the Greeks ). Being an influential Roman citizen, he accepted a new name: Flavius Josephus. He must have died about 100 CE, more than sixty years old. Life Jewish War Jewish Antiquities Autobiography ... Against Apion Life Joseph was born in Jerusalem in 37 CE as the son of Matthias, a man from priestly descent, and a mother who claimed royal blood. Stated differently, he was born as a Sadducee and an aristocrat. The boy must have been a real know-it-all, because he excelled in all his studies and at the age of sixteen, he decided to find out for himself what philosophy was best - that of the Sadducees, that of the Essenes or that of the Pharisees. Although he studied all three systems, he was not content, and for three years, he lived in the desert with a hermit named Bannus. Returning to Jerusalem at the age of nineteen, he choose to become a Pharisee. At least, this is what he writes in his

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book VI, Chapter 11 How David, Upon Saul's Laying Snares For Him, Did Yet Escape The Dangers He Was In By The Affection And Care Of Jonathan And The Contrivances Of His Wife Michal: And How He Came To Samuel The Prophet 3. About this time it was that, upon the Philistines making a new expedition against the Hebrews, Saul sent David with an army to fight with them; and joining battle with them he slew many of them, and after his victory he returned to the king. But his reception by Saul was not as he expected upon such success, for he was grieved at his prosperity, because he thought he would be more dangerous to him by having acted so gloriously: but when the demoniacal spirit came upon him, and put him into disorder, and disturbed him, he called for David into his bed-chamber wherein he lay, and having a spear in his hand, he ordered him to charm him with playing on his harp, and with singing hymns; which when David did at his command, he with great force threw the spear at him; but David was aware of it before it came, and avoided it, and fled to his own house, and abode there all that day. 6. And David went thence, and came to Jonathan, the son of Saul, and lamented to him what snares

86. Concerning Abimelech; And Concerning Ismael The Son Of Abraham; And Concerning T Chapter on Abraham's illegitimate son by the firstcentury Jewish historian josephus. http://www.interhack.net/projects/library/antiquities-jews/b1c12.html

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book I, Chapter 12 Concerning Abimelech; And Concerning Ismael The Son Of Abraham; And Concerning The Arabians, Who Were His Posterity The Well of the Oath: and so it is named by the people of the country unto this day. 2. Now in a little time Abraham had a son by Sarah, as God had foretold to him, whom he named Isaac, which signifies Laughter. And indeed they so called him, because Sarah laughed when God (25) said that she should bear a son, she not expecting such a thing, as being past the age of child-bearing, for she was ninety years old, and Abraham a hundred; so that this son was born to them both in the last year of each of those decimal numbers. And they circumcised him upon the eighth day and from that time the Jews continue the custom of circumcising their sons within that number of days. But as for the Arabians, they circumcise after the thirteenth year, because Ismael, the founder of their nation, who was born to Abraham of the concubine, was circumcised at that age; concerning whom I will presently give a particular account, with great exactness. 4. When the lad was grown up, he married a wife, by birth an Egyptian, from whence the mother was herself derived originally. Of this wife were born to Ismael twelve sons; Nabaioth, Kedar, Abdeel, Mabsam, Idumas, Masmaos, Masaos, Chodad, Theman, Jetur, Naphesus, Cadmas. These inhabited all the country from Euphrates to the Red Sea, and called it Nabatene. They are an Arabian nation, and name their tribes from these, both because of their own virtue, and because of the dignity of Abraham their father.

Josephus Flavius Josephus Flavius was a Jew who grew up in Jerusalem at the beginning of the Common Era. He was well educated, knowing both Jewish texts and the Greek language (although his Greek grammar was faulty). During the Great Revolt from 66-73 CE, Josephus served as a general of the Galilee. When the Roman army overcame his forces, Josephus and 40 compatriots fled to a cave. They agreed to commit suicide. Josephus fixed the lots so that his name would come out last. After the others killed themselves, Josephus convinced the remaining fighter to surrender with him. As a prisoner of the Romans , Josephus volunteered to write the history of the Great Revolt . General (later Emperor) Vespasian agreed. Josephus thus provided the Romans (and now us) with a first-hand account of the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE. It must be emphasized that Josephus was writing for Vespasian, so his work is definitely biased. He mentions several times in his Greek writings that he created an Aramaic version of the events as well, but it, unfortunately, is not extant. Following the end of the war, Josephus was taken to

88. How Under Eli's Government Of The Israelites Booz Married Ruth, From Whom Came O Chapter by the firstcentury Jewish historian josephus. http://www.interhack.net/projects/library/antiquities-jews/b5c9.html

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book V, Chapter 9 How Under Eli's Government Of The Israelites Booz Married Ruth, From Whom Came Obed The Grandfather Of David 2. When Ruth was come with her mother-in-law to Bethlehem, Booz, who was near of kin to Elimelech, entertained her; and when Naomi was so called by her fellow citizens, according to her true name, she said, "You might more truly call me Mara." Now Naomi signifies in the Hebrew tongue happiness, and Mara, sorrow Obed, as being to be brought up in order to be subservient to her in her old age, for Obed in the Hebrew dialect signifies a servant. The son of Obed was Jesse, and David was his son, who was king, and left his dominions to his sons for one and twenty generations. I was therefore obliged to relate this history of Ruth, because I had a mind to demonstrate the power of God, who, without difficulty, can raise those that are of ordinary parentage to dignity and splendor, to which he advanced David, though he were born of such mean parents. interhack library antiquities Matt Curtin Last modified: Wed Apr 15 19:48:23 EDT 1998

89. How Moses Ascended Up To Mount Sinai, And Received Laws From God, And Delivered Chapter by the firstcentury Jewish historian josephus. http://www.interhack.net/projects/library/antiquities-jews/b3c5.html

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book III, Chapter 5 How Moses Ascended Up To Mount Sinai, And Received Laws From God, And Delivered Them To The Hebrews 1. Now Moses called the multitude together, and told them that he was going from them unto mount Sinai to converse with God; to receive from him, and to bring back with him, a certain oracle; but he enjoined them to pitch their tents near the mountain, and prefer the habitation that was nearest to God, before one more remote. When he had said this, he ascended up to Mount Sinai, which is the highest of all the mountains that are in that country (9) and is not only very difficult to be ascended by men, on account of its vast altitude, but because of the sharpness of its precipices also; nay, indeed, it cannot be looked at without pain of the eyes: and besides this, it was terrible and inaccessible, on account of the rumor that passed about, that God dwelt there. But the Hebrews removed their tents as Moses had bidden them, and took possession of the lowest parts of the mountain; and were elevated in their minds, in expectation that Moses would return from God with promises of the good things he had proposed to them. So they feasted and waited for their conductor, and kept themselves pure as in other respects, and not accompanying with their wives for three days, as he had before ordered them to do. And they prayed to God that he would favorably receive Moses in his conversing with him, and bestow some such gift upon them by which they might live well. They also lived more plentifully as to their diet; and put on their wives and children more ornamental and decent clothing than they usually wore.

93. Concerning The Fortitude Of Samson, And What Mischiefs He Brought Upon The Phili Chapter by the firstcentury Jewish historian josephus. http://www.interhack.net/projects/library/antiquities-jews/b5c8.html

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book V, Chapter 8 Concerning The Fortitude Of Samson, And What Mischiefs He Brought Upon The Philistines 1. After Abdon was dead, the Philistines overcame the Israelites, and received tribute of them for forty years; from which distress they were delivered after this manner: 4. So the woman proved with child, and was careful to observe the injunctions that were given her; and they called the child, when he was born, Samson, which name signifies one that is strong. So the child grew apace; and it appeared evidently that he would be a prophet, (19) both by the moderation of his diet, and the permission of his hair to grow. 5. Now when he once came with his parents to Timhath, a city of the Philistines, when there was a great festival, he fell in love with a maid of that country, and he desired of his parents that they would procure him the damsel for his wife: but they refused so to do, because she was not of the stock of Israel; yet because this marriage was of God, who intended to convert it to the benefit of the Hebrews, he over-persuaded them to procure her to be espoused to him. And as he was continually coming to her parents, he met a lion, and though he was naked, he received his onset, and strangled him with his hands, and cast the wild beast into a woody piece of ground on the inside of the road. 7. At this injurious treatment Samson was so provoked, that he resolved to punish all the Philistines, as well as her: so it being then summer-time, and the fruits of the land being almost ripe enough for reaping, he caught three hundred foxes, and joining lighted torches to their tails

Contents: The Testimony My Commentary A Modern Text Comparison Conclusion From the back cover of “The New Complete Works of Josephus”: "Flavius Josephus (c. A.D. 37-100) was born to an aristocratic Jewish family, served as a priest, and later became the commander of Jewish forces in Galilee following the revolt against Rome that began A.D. 66.

Concerning Christ, and what befell Paulina and the Jews at Rome. (63) 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. He was [the] Christ. (64) And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men among us, had condemned him to the cross [2], those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day [3], as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named for him, are not extinct at this day.

95. How Raguel Suggested To Moses To Set His People In Order, Under Their Rulers Of Chapter about the advice of Jethro to his sonin-law by the first-century Jewish historian josephus. http://www.interhack.net/projects/library/antiquities-jews/b3c4.html

Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus Book III, Chapter 4 How Raguel Suggested To Moses To Set His People In Order, Under Their Rulers Of Thousands, And Rulers Of Hundreds, Who Lived Without Order Before; And How Moses Complied In All Things With His Father-In-Law's Admonition let them bring the cognizance of it before the rulers of a higher dignity; but if any great difficulty arise that is too hard for even their determination, let them send it to thee. By these means two advantages will be gained; the Hebrews will have justice done them, and thou wilt be able to attend constantly on God, and procure him to be more favorable to the people." 2. This was the admonition of Raguel; and Moses received his advice very kindly, and acted according to his suggestion. Nor did he conceal the invention of this method, nor pretend to it himself, but informed the multitude who it was that invented it: nay, he has named Raguel in the books he wrote, as the person who invented this ordering of the people, as thinking it right to give a true testimony to worthy persons, although he might have gotten reputation by ascribing to himself the inventions of other men; whence we may learn the virtuous disposition of Moses: but of such his disposition, we shall have proper occasion to speak in other places of these books. interhack library antiquities Matt Curtin Last modified: Fri Apr 17 12:42:05 EDT 1998

97. - Great Books - josephus (37c. 101), He was originally known as Yosef Ben-Matityahu (Matthias in Greek), and is also referred to as Flavius josephus. http://www.malaspina.com/site/person_1099.asp

Josephus (37-c. 101) Brief Biography Josephus (AD 37 - AD 100) was a 1st century Jewish historian of priestly family who survived the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and settled in Rome. He was originally known as Yosef Ben-Matityahu ( Matthias in Greek), and is also referred to as Flavius Josephus. Josphus wrote an account of the war addressed to the Jewish community in Mesopotamia in Aramaic which is now lost. He then wrote a history in Greek covering a broader period - from the Maccabees to the fall of Jerusalem. This book, the Jewish War , appeared by 79. The majority of the book is based on the events of his own life, including those of his own administrative experience. Jewish Antiquities, composed again for Greek readers, is a history of the Jews from the Creation to the outbreak of the war in the late 60s. At the end of the Antiquities is an autobiographical section in defense of Josephus's own conduct at the end of the war when he cooperated with the Roman forces of Vespasian. Josephus's Against Apion is a defense of Judaism against classical religion and philosophy stressing the Antiquity of Judaism and its scriptures against what Josephus pointed out was the relatively more recent traditions of the Greeks. Jews have mixed feelings regarding Josephus. He was unquestionably an important apologist for the Jewish religion, particularly at a time of major upheaval, while his history of the Jewish Revolt, though sometimes questionable or self-serving, is an important source of information for the events at that time. Nevertheless, his personal conduct during the war is a point of contention because he abandoned his position as a rebel leader and joined the Roman camp.

98. Josephus josephus. Latin translations of josephus oeuvre made between the fourth and sixth centuries were studied in Christian Europe for an entire millennium. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/incunab/s6-215-e.html

Josephus Josephus Flavius, the ancient Jewish writer of first century Palestine, wrote a number of historical, apologetical and autobiographical works which together comprise a major part of Hellenistic Jewish literature. The original Aramaic version of his first work, known as Bellum Judaicum , or The Jewish War , has been lost. However, the Greek version of this work, and the rest of his works written in Greek during his Roman exile after the destruction of Jerusalem, were preserved by the Church, particularly because of their general importance for the history of Palestine in the early Christian period and for the curious Testimonium Flavianum to the founder of Christianity contained in the Jewish Antiquities Latin translations of Josephus' oeuvre made between the fourth and sixth centuries were studied in Christian Europe for an entire millennium. The editio princeps of Josephus displayed here was in fact an edition of his works in Latin, still the intellectual language of Europe in 1470; the first edition of the Greek text did not appear in print until nearly 75 years later, after the Renaissance revival of Greek learning. Subsequently, hundreds of editions of Josephus' works appeared in all corners of the Western world, not only in Greek and Latin but in every modern vernacular as well. Among the most popular authors during the history of Christian printing, Josephus suffered a different fate among Jews: except for a pseudepigraphic medieval Hebrew paraphrase of The Jewish War

What Josephus Says about the Essenes in his Judean War Part 1 Part 2 Steve Mason York University Toronto, ON M3J 1P3 Author's note: Part of this essay (roughly, the latter half) appeared in Stephen G. Wilson and Michel Desjardins, eds., Text and Artifact in the Religions of Mediterranean Antiquity: Essays in Honour of Peter Richardson (Waterloo: Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2000), 434-467.

Probably the most famous text-artifact connection made by twentieth-century scholarship in our field has been the marriage of Qumraner with Essenea figure known for two millennia in Greek and Latin texts. Parallels between Josephus's Essenes, particularly those of War 2.119-61, and the people of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been crucial in forging this happy union, along with the elder Pliny's notice about Esseni who lived in the Judean desert ( N.

Josephus in the Ante-Nicene Fathers: all the citations The Testimonium Flavianum is really something I do not have time to write much about. However there seem to be arguments being made about it's authenticity based upon absence of evidence. I expressed my doubts about this approach in a newsgroup, and the following reply was made. I quote it, as the idea seems to be in common circulation: Josephus But is this true? I can't see why the Fathers would normally quote Josephus. So I investigated. This page is the product of a search for the word 'Josephus' in the Ante-Nicene Fathers at http://www.ccel.org/fathers2 . Results from footnotes or Nicene/Post-Nicene Fathers have been ignored, as the latter will know Eusebius, of course. After this I read Michael E. H ARDWICK Josephus as a historical source in Patristic literature through Eusebius , Brown Judaic Studies 128, Scholars Press, Georgia (1989). This covers the same ground, but also looks for possible unattributed references. Finally the references are discussed by Alice W HEALEY , Josephus on Jesus. Studies in Biblical Literature 36. New York: Peter Lang (2003).
