  • 14.Aristocratic System
    Chapter XIV The Aristocratic System (System A) he Aristocratic understanding (System A) of “µybr[h ˆyb (byn ha-arabim)” Twas represented by the Jews called Sadducees, the Boethusian Sad- ducees, and by the ancient Samaritans. Moreover, it was used by the early assemblies following Yahushua the messiah.1 Very few writings which discuss just how to observe Phasekh have come down to us directly from any acknowledged Sadducean, Boethusian, or ancient Samaritan source, so that for an acquaintance with their opinions we are mainly dependent upon their antagonists.2 These antagonists, and records which are derived from the later variations of this view (as demonstrated by the neo-Samaritans and Karaites),3 show that, contrary to the Hasidic views, the Aristocratic approach under- stood that the first br[ (arab; intermixing of light and dark) occurred at sun- set and the second at deep twilight (the setting of darkness). Aristocratic Interpretation The Gesenius’s Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon explains the Aristocratic interpretation: Dual. µyIBær“[æ the two evenings; only in the phrase µyIBær“[æh; ˆyBe, between the two evenings, Ex. 16:12; 30:8; used as marking the space of time during which the paschal lamb was slain, Ex. 12:6; Lev. 23:5; Num. 9:3; and the evening sacrifice was offered, Ex. 29:39, 41; Num. 28:4; i.e. according to the opinion of the Karaites and Samaritans (which is favoured by the words of Deut. 16:6), the time between sunset and deep twilight.4 James Hastings notes: The time of the Passover sacrifice is defined in the Law as ‘between the two evenings’ (µyIB'r“['h; ˆyBe, Ex 126, Lv 235, Nu 93.

  • Aspects of St Anna's Cult in Byzantium
    ASPECTS OF ST ANNA’S CULT IN BYZANTIUM by EIRINI PANOU A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 Acknowledgments It is said that a PhD is a lonely work. However, this thesis, like any other one, would not have become reality without the contribution of a number of individuals and institutions. First of all of my academical mother, Leslie Brubaker, whose constant support, guidance and encouragement accompanied me through all the years of research. Of the National Scholarship Foundation of Greece ( I.K.Y.) with its financial help for the greatest part of my postgraduate studies. Of my father George, my mother Angeliki and my bother Nick for their psychological and financial support, and of my friends in Greece (Lily Athanatou, Maria Sourlatzi, Kanela Oikonomaki, Maria Lemoni) for being by my side in all my years of absence. Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years.

  • Toegift: Nogmaals Gerizim Toen De Joden Uit Ballingschap
    Toegift: Nogmaals Gerizim Toen de Joden uit ballingschap terugkeerden, werden de Samaritanen buiten de herbouw van Jeruzalems muren en de tempel gehouden (Ezra 4-6, Nehemia 3:33-38|4:1-6:einde), mede vanwege hetgeen in 2 Koningen 17 beschreven staat; voorts waren er tegen Gods bevel in vele gemengde huwelijken gesloten (Ezra 9-10). De priester Manasse, broer van hogepriester Jaddua, was met de dochter van de Samaritaanse overste Sanballat getrouwd; toen deze laatste hoorde dat Jaddua zijn vrouw ging verstoten, bood Sanballat Jaddua aan een tempel te bouwen op de Gerizim, waar hij hogepriester zou worden. Zo kwam er een tweede tempel voor God in Kanaän (Voor details, zie Josephus Flavius’ Oudheden der Joden, boek 11, hoofdstuk 8). Later wilde een koning er nog een beeld inzetten van Zeus Xenius (Zeus als beschermer van de vreemdeling, 2 Makkabeeën 6) en in 128 v. Chr. hebben de Joden deze tempel verwoest (Korte Verklaring der Heilige Schrift, Johannes I door dr. C. Bouma). Dit hele verhaal maakt duidelijk over welke berg de Samaritaanse het heeft in Johannes 4: 20 ‘Onze voorouders vereerden God op deze berg, en bij u zegt men dat in Jeruzalem de plek is waar God vereerd moet worden.’ In Jezus’ antwoord proef je al de onzinnigheid van God als zou Hij berggod zijn: 21 ‘Geloof me,’ zei Jezus, ‘er komt een tijd dat jullie noch op deze berg, noch in Jeruzalem de Vader zullen aanbidden. (Zie ook Statenbijbel met Kanttekeningen, Johannes 4, noot 16) Hoewel dit allemaal na 1 Koningen speelt, wil ik u dit niet onthouden, mede omdat deze geschiedenis niet in de Bijbel voorkomt maar er wel aan wordt gerefereerd.

  • The Enemies of the Rebuilding of the Wall, Who Are They? Literary Construction in the Book of Nehemiah
    ｢성경원문연구｣ 41 (2017. 10.), 228-246 ISSN 1226-5926 (print), ISSN 2586-2480 (online) DOI: https://doi.org/10.28977/jbtr.2017.10.41.228 http://ibtr.bskorea.or.kr The Enemies of the Rebuilding of the Wall, Who Are They? Literary Construction in the Book of Nehemiah Brigitte Rabarijaona* 1. Introduction The Book of Nehemiah presents in a disconcerting way a certain omnipresence of opponents of the projects of the reconstruction of Jerusalem. They are found exclusively in the part of the book that is commonly called as the Nehemiah Memoir (NM). This is the first-person account in the book of Nehemiah. This part is supposed as written by Nehemiah himself. The commentators are almost unanimous on the presence of authentic portions of this NM but it is in its delimitation that the differences appear. There are those who think generously that the NM covers more or less the entire book,1) others, more minimalist, find only a few verses.2) In any case, the hypothesis of a subsequent resumption of the NM before its final form is widely accepted. Therefore this paper proceeds from the hypothesis that the NM does not cover the whole book of Nehemiah but only a part of it. The various thematic and textual inconsistencies such as the intrusion of Ezra’s character into the book, and the unclear shift from first to third person can be considered as signs of a rework of an original form of the NM. * Ph.D. in Biblical Studies at the University of Geneva.

  • Education Among the Jews in This
    I NTROD UCTIO N In publishing this little booklet , the author is very well aware that he is placing himself in the most unfavorable light and courting the most ad verse and abj ect criticism of so - called scientific schol arship of the Bible . But he freely acknowledges and proudly confesses his absolute rej ection of all scientific criticism of the B ible outside o f textual re search and stands squarely f or the infallibility o f Holy Scriptures . The Christ Whose words even the most rabid critics admit to be historically true : " ” The scripture cannot be broken , John Till o n e on heaven and earth pass , j ot or e tittle shall in ” no wise pass from the law , till all be fulfilled , M h a t t . was either what H e claimed to be , on o f the eternal S God , Who gladly permitted the attribute of Omniscience to be ascribed to Him , and Who in these words is a frank exponent of the i n of or fallibility Holy Scriptures , He was the most despicable hypocrite and cheat the world has ever known . And I confess that I believe it far better to stand W ith H im foursquare against all criticism o f H is eternal word , which is the revelation of H is divine Essence , than to stand on the uncertain ground o f modern Biblical criticism and degenerate into a vapid spouter of moral platitudes . Much bet ter by far to accept the inspired Scriptural account of the creation of the world and of the history of the Jewish people word for word wh ich has stood the test of the ages and endured the vain mutterings of foo lish criticism both here and abroad than to ac cept the inane theory of a so - called cosmic evolu con tion .

    THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JESUS THE MESSIAH Dr. Dennis A. Wright 1 Between the Testaments Charles F. Pfeiffer The four hundred years between the prophecy but the mount itself continues to this day to be of Malachi and the advent of Christ are frequently regarded as sacred by the Samaritans. 2 The 13 described as “silent,” but they were in fact woman of Samaria wished to dispute with Jesus crowded with activity. Although no inspired concerning the merits of the rival holy places, but prophet arose in Israel during those centuries and the Savior chose to emphasize the spiritual attitude though the Old Testament was regarded as of the worshiper rather than the place of worship complete, events took place which gave to later (cf. John 4:20). The Sanballat of Josephus cannot Judaism its distinctive ideology and providentially have been the same individual as the man of the prepared the way for the coming of Christ and the same name mentioned by Nehemiah (Neh. 4:1). proclamation of His Gospel.

  • The Date of Nehemiah: a Reexamination
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Autumn 1990, Vol. 28, No. 3, 195-209 Copyright @ 1990 by Andrews University Press. THE DATE OF NEHEMIAH: A REEXAMINATION ALBERT0 R. W. GREEN Rutgers University New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903 The date for Nehemiah's two terms of governorship in Judah has in recent years been put into question. Did Nehemiah serve in this capacity in the fifth century B.c., during the reign of Persian King Artaxerxes I (465-424)?Or did he perhaps serve, instead, in the fourth century under Artaxerxes I1 (404-358)?In the former case he would have first arrived in Jerusalem in 445 B.c., and in the latter case, this arrival would have been in 384 B.c.-the 20th year of Artaxerxes (Neh 2:l-9), whichever Artaxerxes that may have been. The present article reviews the arguments on both sides of the question and the date upon which those arguments are built. 1. The Case for the Fifth-Century Date The suggestion of a fifth-century date for Nehemiah rests upon a number of historical data which have been subject to varying interpretations. A key source for fixing upon this time frame is the occurrence of the names Johanan, Sanballat, and Sanballat's sons Delaiah and Shelemiah in a papyrus letter from Elephantine dated to 407 B.c.~The latter is an appeal by the Elephantine Jewish community for aid in building a temple, and this appeal is ad- dressed to Sanballat, governor of Samaria, who was assisted in this office by his two sons. Johanan's name appears as that of the high priest in Jerusalem to whom the Elephantine community had ad- dressed an earlier appeal, but without response.
