First and foremost I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee: Professor Douglas A. Knight, Professor Jack M.

It has been a true privilege to work with them and I hope to one day emulate their erudition and the kind, generous manner in which they support their students.

  • King David's Double Recognition at Hebron According to Josephus
    RCatT XXXI/2 (2006) 269-281 © Facultat de Teologia de Catalunya KING DAVID’S DOUBLE RECOGNITION AT HEBRON ACCORDING TO JOSEPHUS Christopher BEGG 1. Introduction 2 Sam 5,1-3 and 1 Chr 11,1-3 tell a largely similar story of David’s recogni- tion as king by a group of Israelites at Hebron. Whereas this is the only such happening in Samuel, the Chronicler goes on, after an extended interlude (11,4– 12,22) dealing with other matters,1 to relate a similar such happening in 12,23- 40. Josephus too, in his Antiquitates judaicae (hereafter Ant. 7.53-60)2 narrates a two-stage pan-Israelite acclamation of David’s kingship at Hebron. In contrast to the Chronicler, however, the historian recounts the two moments of the king’s recognition back-to-back, just as his presentation of both moments evidences numerous differences vis-à-vis the biblical account(s). In this essay then I wish to focus on the Josephan version of David’s encounters with the Israelites who come to him at Hebron. More specifically, my study will address several wider questions: (1) In recounting the initial Hebron happening did Josephus draw on both (slightly different) accounts in 2 Sam 5,1-3 and 1 Chr 11,1-3 or rather did he limit himself to one of these to the exclusion of the other? (2) Can anything be ascertained about the text-form(s) of 2 Sam 5,1-3 and/or 1 Chr 11,1-3; 12,23- 40 used by Josephus? And (3) What sort of rewriting techniques has Josephus 1.

If they came unitedly, there is a possibility that they were united in the desert and in Egypt. If their invasions were separated by wide intervals of time, there is no probability that they were united in their earlier history. Our estimate of the Patriarchal and the Mosaic traditions is thus conditioned upon the answer that we give to this question.

C-MATS Question: What were the final words of Moses? These final words of Moses are a combination of blessing and prophecy, in which he blesses each tribe according to its national responsibilities and individual greatness. Moses' blessings were a continuation of Jacob's, as if to say that the tribes were blessed at the beginning of their national existence and again as they were about to begin life in Israel. Moses directed his blessings to each of the tribes individually, since the welfare of each tribe depended upon that of the others, and the collective welfare of the nation depended upon the success of them all (Pesikta). came from Sinai and from Seir He dawned on them; He shined forth from יהוה ,And he (Moses) said 2 Mount Paran and He came with ten thousands of holy ones: from His right hand went a fiery commandment for them. came to Israel from Seir and יהוה ?present the Torah to the Israelites יהוה Question: How did had offered the Torah to the descendants of יהוה Paran, which, as the Midrash records, recalls that Esau, who dwelled in Seir, and to the Ishmaelites, who dwelled in Paran, both of whom refused to accept the Torah because it prohibited their predilections to kill and steal.

  • Pinchas Bamidbar (Numbers) 25:10 - 30:1
    Pinchas Bamidbar (Numbers) 25:10 - 30:1 As last week’s Parshah ended, some of the camp of Israel participated in the idolatrous practice of the local Midianites. In a passionate display of zeal, Pinchas kills two of the more blatant participants. Now, as Parshat Pinchas begins, Pinchas is rewarded with two gifts as a result of his zealotry. He is given the “Brit Shalom” (Covenant of Friendship) which according to many commentators was to serve as an order of protection against revenge from the members of Zimri’s tribe. He and his descendents are also given the “Brit Kuhunat Olam” (Covenant of Eternal High Priesthood). Moses and Eleazar (the son of Aaron) were commanded to prepare another census of the people, this one comprised of men aged twenty and over, "all that are able to go forth to war in Israel.” When they entered Israel, each tribe would be allotted land proportionate to its size and the location of each portion would be decided by lot. The 23,000 Levites, who were counted separately, would not receive any inheritance. Zelophechad, of the tribe of Manasseh, had died in the wilderness leaving five daughters and no sons. The daughters came before Moses and Eleazar and asked, "Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family because he had no son?" They urged the leaders to grant them their father's inheritance. Moses sought G-d's advice and was told that the daughters could inherit. G-d commanded Moses to ascend Mount Avarim, from where he could see the Promised Land.

  • Who Are the 144,000?
    Who Are the 144,000? “Increasingly, scholars are looking at Revelation as a Jewish text that reveals a heavenly Christ rather than a Christian text with Jewish attributes.” –The Jewish Annotated New Testament, (New York, Oxford University Press, 2011), p. 465. Revelation 7:1-8 is about Israel – not the Gentiles. Revelation 7:1-8 (NKJV) 1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: Jacob’s Birth Order & Mother 5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; 4th; Leah of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; 1st; Leah of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; 7th; Zilpah 6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; 8th; Zilpah of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; 6th; Bilhah of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; 11th; Rachel 7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; 2nd; Leah of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; 3rd; Leah of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; 9th; Leah 8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; 10th; Leah of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; 12th; Rachel of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.

War is waged against Midianfor their role in plotting the moral destruction of Israel, and the Torah gives a detailed account of the war spoils and how they were allocated amongst the people, the warriors, the Levitesand the high priest. The tribes of Reuben and Gad (later joined by half of the tribe of Manasseh) ask for the lands east of the Jordan as their portion in the Promised Land, these being prime pastureland for their cattle. Moses is initially angered by the request, but subsequently agrees on the condition that they first join, and lead, in Israel’s conquest of the lands west of the Jordan.

  • Y-Chromosomal Microsatellites and Genetic Affinity Between
    Genetics and the History of the Samaritans: Y-Chromosomal Microsatellites and Genetic AfÀnity between Samaritans and Cohanim 1,2 1 3 4 5 PETER J. OEFNER, GEORG HÖLZL, PEIDONG SHEN, ISAAC SHPIRER, DOV GEFEL, TAL 6 6 6 7 7 LAVI, EILON WOOLF, JONATHAN COHEN, CENGIZ CINNIOGLU, PETER A. UNDERHILL, 8 1 8,9 6 NOAH A. ROSENBERG, JOCHEN HOCHREIN, JULIE M. GRANKA, JOSSI HILLEL, AND 8 MARCUS W. FELDMAN Abstract The Samaritans are a group of some 750 indigenous Middle Eastern people, about half of whom live in Holon, a suburb of Tel Aviv, and the other half near Nablus. The Samaritan population is believed to have numbered more than a million in late Roman times but less than 150 in 1917. The ancestry of the Samaritans has been subject to controversy from late Biblical times to the present. In this study, liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/quad- rupole ion trap mass spectrometry was used to allelotype 13 Y-chromosomal and 15 autosomal microsatellites in a sample of 12 Samaritans chosen to have as low a level of relationship as possible, and 461 Jews and non-Jews. Estimation of genetic distances between the Samaritans and seven Jewish and three non-Jewish populations from Israel, as well as populations from Africa, Pakistan, Turkey, and Europe, revealed that the Samaritans were closely related to Cohanim. This result supports the position of the Samaritans that they are descendants from the tribes of Israel dating to before the Assyrian exile in 722–720 BCE. In concordance with previously published single-nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes, each Samaritan family, with the exception of the Samaritan Cohen lineage, was observed to carry a distinctive Y-chromosome short tandem repeat haplotype that was not more than one mutation removed from the six-marker Cohen modal haplotype.
