Excerpt from The Works of Flavius Josephus, the Learned and Authentic Jewish Historian and Celebrated Warrior: With Three Dissertations, Concerning Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, James the Just, God's Command to Abraham, &C., And Explanatory Notes and Observations
We may hence correct the error of the Latin cepy of the second book against Apion. Sect. 7, 8. (for the Greek 18 there lost) which says there were then only four tribes or courses of the priests, instead of twenty four. - Nor is this testimony to be disregarded, as if 10 sephus there contradicted what he had affirmed here, because even the account there given, better agrees to twenty-four than to four courses, while he says that each of these courses contained above 5000 men, which multiplied by only four. Will make not more than priests; whereas the number as multiplied by 24, seems much the most probable, they being about one-tenth of the whole people, even after the captivity. See Ezra ii. 36 - 39. Neh. Vii. 39 - 49. 1 Esd. V. 24. 95. With Ezra ii. 64. Neh. Vii. 66. 1. Esd. V. Nor will this common reading or notion of but four courses of priests. Agree with Josephus's own farther assertion elsewhere. Antiq. B. Vii. Ch. Xiv. Sect. 7. That David's partition of the priests into twenty-four courses had continued to that day.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous life and times of a Jewish historian caught in the throes of a nation's struggle for survival. Born into a priestly family during the reign of the Roman emperor Caligula, the author witnesses firsthand the growing unrest and eventual rebellion of the Jews against their Roman overlords. Through his personal journey, we encounter the complexities of Jewish society in the first century, exploring the diverse philosophies of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. We witness the author's attempts to quell the flames of war, his harrowing escape from shipwreck, and his navigation of the treacherous political landscape of Judea. As the conflict escalates, the author grapples with questions of loyalty, faith, and the very essence of his identity. He offers a nuanced perspective on the war, highlighting not only the fierce determination of the Jewish resistance but also the devastating consequences of their ultimately futile struggle. This book offers a powerful and intimate portrait of a man and a nation at a crossroads, providing timeless insights into the human cost of conflict and the enduring power of resilience.
