Her book was inspired by a desire to prove (or disprove) Dr. Ernest Martin’s research in The Temples That Jerusalem Forgot. Ms. Sams wrote a second book in 2017, The Jerusalem Temple Mount: A Compendium of Ancient Descriptions expanding the argument in her first book, itemizing and analyzing 375 ancient descriptions of the Temple, Fort Antonia, and environs, all confirming a Gihon location for God’s Temples.1 Her books and articles greatly advance Dr. Martin’s arguments.

  • Possible Misreading in 1 Maccabees 7:34 in Light of Its Biblical Model
    JBL 138, no. 4 (2019): 777–789 https://doi.org/10.15699/jbl.1384.2019.5 Possible Misreading in 1 Maccabees 7:34 in Light of Its Biblical Model matan orian [email protected] Center for the Study of Conversion and Inter-Religious Encounters, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, 8410501, Israel First Maccabees 7:34 employs four verbs to describe the offensive speech by Nicanor, the Seleucid general, addressed to the Jewish elders and priests. The third verb indicates that Nicanor defiled his audience. While this has led scholars to associate 1 Maccabees with the Jewish concept of gentile impurity, several factors suggest that, at this point, an error found its way into the Greek translation from the original Hebrew. The present argument comprises three steps. First, I use the biblical Sennacherib story, featured in the background of the Nicanor episode in 1 Maccabees, as a means of reconstructing the relevant original Hebrew verb employed by 1 Maccabees. Second, I suggest a possible misreading of one letter on the part of the Greek translator. Finally, I propose that a similar, earlier verse in 1 Maccabees, 1:24b, may have been conducive to the translator’s commission of this mistake, thus offering an insight into his way of thinking. I. A Verb Clearly out of Context First Maccabees 7:34 employs four verbs to describe the insulting nature of the speech by Nicanor, the Seleucid general, directed at the Jewish elders and the priests of the Jerusalem temple who emerged from the temple to greet him: “he mocked them, derided them, defiled them, and spoke arrogantly” (ἐμυκτήρισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατεγέλασεν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐμίανεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὑπερηφάνως).1 The third verb, “defile,” plainly differs from the other verbs in this verse: it does not relate to the nature of the speech but rather to a cultic or ritual consequence of some physical act committed by Nicanor.

  • Katell Berthelot Introduction
    ELECTRUM * Vol. 21 (2014): 73–85 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.14.001.2780 www.ejournals.eu/electrum JUDAS MACCABEUS’ WARS AGAINST JUDAEA’S NEIGHBOURS IN 1 MACCABEES 5: A REASSESSMENT OF THE EVIDENCE Katell Berthelot CNRS / Aix-Marseille University Abstract: The fi fth chapter of the First Book of Maccabees recounts a whole range of wars waged by Judas Maccabeus against Judaea’s neighbours, who are depicted as threatening the lives of the Jews living in their midst. The account of these punitive expeditions contains the only explicit reference found in the book to an anathema (ḥerem) against a foreign people, a reference which has led some scholars to see Judas as re-enacting the biblical prescription of the ḥerem against the Canaanites. In contrast with this interpretation, the present article argues that the description in 1 Maccabees 5 is highly literary and rhetorical, and that it is part of a strategy which aims at pre- senting Judas as the heir of the fi rst kings of Israel. In particular, a careful literary analysis shows that nearly all the differences between the accounts in 1 and 2 Maccabees can be explained by tak- ing into consideration the project of the author to present Judas’s military expeditions in the light of Saul’s campaigns, following 1 Samuel 10–15 (especially 14:47–48). Given the indebtedness of 1 Maccabees 5 toward such biblical traditions, the historicity of Judas’s wars against Judaea’s neighbours should be re-assessed. Key words: history of Second Temple Judaism, Hasmoneans, 1 Maccabees 5, Judas Maccabeus, wars, biblical models, Saul.

  • “The Second Hill, Which Bore the Name of Acra, and Supported The
    Nahshon Szanton and Ayala Zilberstein “The Second Hill, which Bore the Name of Acra, and Supported the Lower City…” A New Look at the Lower City of Jerusalem in the end of the Second Temple Period Nahshon Szanton and Ayala Zilberstein Israel Antiquities Authority | Tel Aviv University 29* ”T“The Second Hil, which Bore the Name of Acra, and Supported the Lower ity“ The ancient core of the city of Jerusalem developed during early antiquity, as well as during the first generations of the Second Temple period, in the area of the southeastern hill bound between central streambeds – the Kidron Valley in the east and the Tyropoeon in the west. Only in the Late Hellenistic period, and more so in the Early Roman period, did the city expand westward toward the southwestern hill, and later still to the northern hill. Josephus’ description of Jerusalem on the eve of its destruction is the most detailed ancient source we have, and serves as a basis for every discussion about the city’s plan. “It was built, in portions facing each other, on two hills separated by a central valley in which the tiers of houses ended. Of these hills that on which the upper city lay was far higher and had a straighter ridge than the other…the second hill, which bore the name of Acra and supported the Lower City, was a hog’s back.” (War V, 136–137, trans. H. St. J. Thackeray). Zilberstein (2016: 100–101) has recently been discussed about the lack of the dichotomic boundaries between the two neighborhoods, which conventional research had reconstructed boundaries, that as though, having perpetuated socioeconomic gaps.

  • Hanukkah and Purim: Similar Yet Different

Mizrahi Course for Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia Hanukkah and Purim: Similar yet Different Introduction -Hanukkah and Purim, the next two holidays, are not in Torah: Both are rabbinic. -Torah only has Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and the three pilgrimage festivals – Pessah, Shavuot and Sukkot. -Both colorful – stay in mind of kids. -Both celebrate Jewish victory over persecution. -Both miraculous: We recite Al HaNissim on both. -Both so important rabbis turned their observance into post-Torah (rabbinic) commandments. YET: -The story of Purim has a book in the Bible (Esther), a tractate in the Talmud (Megillah) and a volume in the Midrash (Esther Rabbah). Hanukkah has none of them. It rates only a few mentions in Talmud [Shabbat 21a-24a], as an appendage to a discussion of what wicks and oils one can use for Shabbat lights. -The Book of Esther does not mention God, yet is in the Bible; the Books of Maccabees do, yet are not in the Bible. -The story of Purim is not known outside the Bible, yet is in the Bible. The events of Hanukkah are known outside the Bible, yet are not in the Bible. -Hallel (psalms of praise for God) recited on Hanukkah, but not Purim. -Hanukkah began with the physical (armed rebellion) and ended with the spiritual (rededication of the Temple). Purim began with the spiritual (prayer and fasting) and ended with the physical (armed resistance to killers). -On Purim, persecutors wanted to kill ALL the Jews.

  • Acra Fortress, Built by Antiochus As He Sought to Quell a Jewish Priestly Rebellion Centered on the Temple
    1 2,000-year-old fortress unearthed in Jerusalem after century-long search By Times of Israel staff, November 3, 2015, 2:52 pm http://www.timesofisrael.com/maccabean-era-fortress-unearthed-in-jerusalem-after-century-long- search/ Acra fortification, built by Hanukkah villain Antiochus IV Epiphanes, maintained Seleucid Greek control over Temple until its conquest by Hasmoneans in 141 BCE In what archaeologists are describing as “a solution to one of the great archaeological riddles in the history of Jerusalem,” researchers with the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday that they have found the remnants of a fortress used by the Seleucid Greek king Antiochus Epiphanes in his siege of Jerusalem in 168 BCE. A section of fortification was discovered under the Givati parking lot in the City of David south of the Old City walls and the Temple Mount. The fortification is believed to have been part of a system of defenses known as the Acra fortress, built by Antiochus as he sought to quell a Jewish priestly rebellion centered on the Temple. 2 Antiochus is remembered in the Jewish tradition as the villain of the Hanukkah holiday who sought to ban Jewish religious rites, sparking the Maccabean revolt. The Acra fortress was used by his Seleucids to oversee the Temple and maintain control over Jerusalem. The fortress was manned by Hellenized Jews, who many scholars believe were then engaged in a full-fledged civil war with traditionalist Jews represented by the Maccabees. Mercenaries paid by Antiochus rounded out the force. Lead sling stones and bronze arrowheads stamped with the symbol of the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, evidence of the attempts to conquer the Acra citadel in Jerusalem’s City of David in Maccabean days.
