The Chronicles Of Jerahmeel

This is the extended and annotated edition including

* an extensive annotation of more than 5.000 words about the history and evolution of the book we call 'The Bible'
The Chronicles of Jerahmeel is a voluminous work that draws largely on Pseudo-Philo's earlier history of Biblical events and is of special interest because it includes Hebrew and Aramaic versions of certain deuterocanonical books in the Septuagint. The Chronicles were compiled from several Hebrew sources, some quite ancient and others more recent. (courtesy of wikipedia.com)

Quotes

  • Elishas quoted2 years ago
    The number of years during which Judah, surnamed Maccabee, ministered unto Israel was six years, and the Lord caused him to prosper all the days of his life.
  • Elishas quoted2 years ago
    There fell on that day 30,000 men of the Macedonian army. The remainder fled, but were pursued by Judah's men, who all the while were sounding the Shofar.
  • Elishas quoted2 years ago
    When he had finished speaking, he lifted up his eyes and beheld between heaven and earth a man, well dressed, riding upon a horse like a flame of fire, and in his hand a spear. His back was turned towards the Hasmoneans and his face to the camp of the Greeks, with his hand stretched out ready to smite it. Judah then exclaimed, 'Blessed be He who has sent His messenger to save His people and smite the camp of His enemies.'
