  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • The History of an Interpretation of Sixteen Drops of Wine at the Seder
    237 “Our Own Joy is Lessened and Incomplete”: The History of an Interpretation of Sixteen Drops of Wine at the Seder By: ZVI RON Explaining the custom to remove sixteen drops of wine from the cup as we recite the ten plagues and words associated with them, the Artscroll Youth Haggadah writes that “we don't want our cups to be full when we tell about other people's pain.”1 The idea that we remove some wine to show that we cannot fully rejoice when our enemies are destroyed is also found in the Artscroll Mesorah Series Haggadah: “Abarbanel, however, explains that we should remove the wine because “You should not rejoice when your enemy falls” (Mishlei 24:17).”2 This idea does not actually appear in the Abarbanel's commentary to the Haggadah, or in any of his writings. In fact, this explanation for the custom of removing sixteen drops from the cup of wine is a recent innovation. By now it is so entrenched in Haggadot that it is often the only explanation offered. A typical presentation of this idea is, “By spilling a drop of wine from the Pesach cup for each plague, we acknowledge that our own joy is lessened and incomplete, for our redemption had to come by means of the punishment of other human beings. Even though these are just punishments for evil acts, it says, “Do not rejoice at the fall of your enemy” (Proverbs 24:17).”3 In this article we will trace the development of this interpretation of this cherished Seder-night custom.

  • Books on the Historical Jesus
    Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus 8 (2010) 183–194 brill.nl/jshj Books on the Historical Jesus CHARLESWORTH, James H. (ed.), Jesus and Archaeology (Grand Rapids, MI/ Cambridge: Eerdmans, 2006), xxv + 740 pp. ISBN 9780802848802. $50.00. Pbk. In this volume James H. Charlesworth proff ers contributions to a Jerusalem sympo sium that brought archaeologists and biblical scholars together around the reference point of the historical Jesus. In a Preface (‘Th e Historical Jesus and Biblical Archaeology: Questions’) Charlesworth challenges the stereotype of New Testament specialists as faith-driven theologians and archaeologists as disinterested scientists. And in an Introduction (‘What is Biblical Archaeology’) Avraham Biran extols the sub-discipline of biblical archaeology and, drawing upon excavations at Tel Dan, articulates how, in his judgment, ‘archaeological research and biblical studies…are intertwined’ (p. 2). Charlesworth categorizes the contributions under two main headings: ‘Studies in Archaeology’ and ‘Archaeology and Th eology’. For the fi rst, ‘Studies in Archaeology’, the contributors and papers are Charlesworth, ‘Jesus Research and Archaeology: A New Perspective’; Sean Freyne, ‘Archaeology and the Historical Jesus’; Bruce Chilton, ‘Recovering Jesus’ Mamzerut ’; Richard A. Batey, ‘Did Antipas Build the Sepphoris Th eater?’; Peter Richardson, ‘Khirbet Qana (and Other Villages) as a Context for Jesus’; Rami Arav, ‘Bethsaida’; Frédéric Manns, ‘Mount Tabor’; Esther Eshel, ‘Jesus the Exorcist in Light of Epigraphic Sources’; Henry W.

Here and there, Mount Tabor oaks grace the slopes, remnants of a once-great forest. On one of these hills, Sheikh Abreik Hill, National Park was the ancient city of Bet She‘arim. But most interesting here is not the hill – it’s what’s inside it: magnificent catacombs hewn by the ancient inhabitants with skill and talent that inspires us to this day. The Bet She‘arim hills, with Mount Carmel in the background The number of burial caves here is vast; many have probably not yet even been discovered.
