Josephus' reasons for the Jewish WarBenson, Derrick 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis I will examine and discuss the reasons given for the Jewish War of AD
66 - 70. Reasons put forward by modern scholars specializing in the study of the
works of Flavius Josephus are examined and discussed. However, the bulk of my
study centres on the reasons that Flavius Josephus supplies for the war as found in his
major work Bellum Judaicum. One is lead to the conclusion that he firmly believes
that reasons on the human and transcendent planes contributed to the catastrophic
events that lead to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.
The worldview of this Jewish priest, general and accomplished historiographer was
strongly influenced by the religious tenets of the Torah and the past history of the
Jewish nation. He cannot countenance the wicked and evil deeds committed
shamefacedly by his people against the clear standards that God had given to the
nation, and believes that retribution by God will follow. He cannot forget occasions
on the past when God intervened in the affairs of his nation by using a pagan world
power to accomplish the purposes of God. He sees a similar recurrence of the events
that lead to the destruction of the Jerusalem and the Temple in 587/6 BC being
manifested in the Jewish War of AD 66 - 70. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis word die redes wat vir die Joodse Oorlog van AD 66-70 aangebied
word, ondersoek en bespreek. Veral die redes wat moderne geleerdes wat in die
bestudering van Flavius Josephus se werk spesialiseer, word nagespeur en bespreek.
Die grootste deel van die studie fokus egter op die redes wat Flavius Josephus self vir
die gebeurtenis voorhou, soos wat hy dit in sy belangrike werk, Bellum Judaicum,
uiteensit. 'n Mens kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat hy met groot oortuiging glo dat die
redes wat tot die katastrofiese gebeure rondom die vernietiging van Jerusalem en die
Tempel 'n bydrae gelewer het, op die vlak van sowel die menslike as bomenslike te
vinde is.
Die wêreldbeskouing van hierdie bedrewe geskiedskrywer en Joodse priester is deur
beide die Torah se godsdienstige voorskrifte en volksgeskiedenis sterk beïnvloed. Hy
kan nie sy steun aan die blatante en bose dade van sy volksgenote teen die duidelike
standaarde wat God gegee het, toesê nie. Volgens hom moes God se vergelding volg.
Hy kan ook nie vergeet hoe God in sy volk se verlede ingegryp het deur om goddelose
wêreldmagte aan te wend om sy Goddelike doelwitte te bereik nie. Hy gewaar 'n
soortgelyke herhaling van gebeurtenisse wat tot die vernietiging van Jerusalem en die
tempel in 587/6 vC gelei het, in die aanloop tot die Joodse Oorlog van AD 66-70.

Magic in the ancient Near East with special reference to ancient IsraelLiedeman, Gwendolene Caren 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this investigation an anthropological and comparative approach was
employed in the study of magic in the ancient Near East. Firstly, a survey was
presented with regard to anthropological theories throughout the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. This forms the background against which evidence on
magic with respect to the cultures of the ancient Near East is investigated.
Secondly, examples of magic in the Ancient Near East was discussed, with
reference to Egypt, Mesopotamia and Hittite Anatolia. Reference was made to
categories such as magic spells, objects, rituals and magical experts
(magicians) and various examples were discussed.
Thirdly, an analysis was made about the phenomenon of magic in ancient Israel.
In this context magic plays a somewhat different role in comparison to its other
ancient Near Eastern neighbours. It was shown that so-called miraculous
actions, miracle workers (prophets) and other religious actions (curses and
blessings) in the Hebrew Bible could definitely be associated with magic. The
frequent prohibitions against magical practises furthermore suggest that magic
was indeed been practiced in ancient Israel. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie ondersoek met betrekking tot magie in die ou Nabye Ooste word
gebruik gemaak van 'n antropologiese en vergelykende benadering. Eerstens
word 'n oorsig aangebied van antropologiese teorieë met betrekking tot magie in
die negentiende en twintigste eeue. Dit vorm die agtergrond waarteen die
verskynsel van magie in die ou Nabye Ooste ondersoek word.
Tweedens word voorbeelde van magie in die ou Nabye Ooste ondersoek, met
verwysing na Egipte, Mesopotamië en die Hetiete. Spesiale aandag word gegee
aan kategorieë soos magiese spreuke, magiese objekte, rituele en magiese
spesialiste. Dit word toegelig met verskillende toepaslike voorbeelde.
Derdens word 'n ondersoek gedoen na die aard van magie in Oud-Israel. In
hierdie konteks het magie ietwat van 'n ander rol vervul in vergelyking met die
ander ou Nabye Oosterse bure. Daar word aangedui dat sekere wonderdade,
wonderwerkers (profete), en ander religieuse aksies (vervloekinge en
seënuitsprake) in die Hebreeuse Bybel met magie geassosieer kan word. Die
vele verbiedinge teen die beoefening van magie is 'n duidelike aanduiding dat
magie inderdaad in Israel gepraktiseer is.

The impact of a change in political constitution on early Palestinian Judaism during the period 175-161 B.C.E.Molyneaux, M. E. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study looks at a watershed period in the history of Judaism. In 175 B.C.E. a group of
Jews sought to break Judaea out of the isolation in which it had stood since the Persian
period. They wished to develop closer ties with their neighbours in Coele-Syria and
Phoenicia and the Greek world in general. Since the Persian period the people of Judaea
had been governed by high priests according to the 'ancestral laws' i.e. the Torah and its
interpretation by Ezra. This 'ancestral law' had been confirmed as binding on all Jews by
Antiochus III in his decree of 198 B.C.E. In order to move beyond the restrictions placed
on contact between Jews and other peoples, it would be necessary to have the political
status of Judaea changed. A change of political status could only be brought about by the
king or one of his successors.
In 175 B.C.E. a group of Jews requested Antiochus IV to permit them to
transform Judaea from an ethnos into a polis. He agreed and the transformation was
begun. It is these events of 175 B.C.E. that form the base of this study. The writer uses
the model of Cultural Anthropology to form a framework in which these and subsequent
events can be analysed. In this way we can get a better understanding of how events
progressed. How a political reform ended in a religious suppression and persecution and
finally a successful revolt against the Seleucid kingdom.
The Torah and its interpretation stood at the center of Jewish life. Each group
interpreted the law in their own way and understood events in relation to this
interpretation. Therefore no analysis of this period can be undertaken without taking the
law and its various interpretations into account. The law is the thread that holds all facets
of this work together. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie handeloor 'n tydperk van waterskeiding in die geskiedenis van die
Judaïsme. In 175 ve. wou 'n groep Jode in Palestina wegbreek uit die isolasie waarin
hulle hulleself bevind het sedert die oorname deur die Persiese ryk. Hulle wou graag
nouer bande met hulle buurstate en die Griekse wêreld aanknoop. Sedert die Persiese
tydperk is die mense van Juda deur hëepriesters regeer, volgens die 'voorvaderlike
wette', dws die Torah en sy vertolking volgens Esra. Alle Jode was gebind deur hierdie
'voorvaderlike wette' deur Antiogus III se dekreet van 198 ve. Indien die mense die
beperkings teen kontak met ander volke sou wou ophef, sou dit nodig wees om die
politieke status van Juda te verander. Net die koning of een van sy opvolgers kon die
politieke status van Juda verander.
In 175 ve. word Antiogus IV deur 'n groep Jode gevra om verlof om Jerusalem in
'n Griekse polis te omskep. Hy het ingestem en die omskepping het begin. Hierdie
gebeurtenisse van 175 ve. vorm die basis van hierdie studie. Die skrywer gebruik die
kutuur-antropologiese teoretiese model as raamwerk vir die ontleding van hierdie en
opvolgende gebeurtenisse. Hierdie model stelons in staat om die ontwikkelinge in Juda
beter te verstaan en meer spesifiek 'n antwoord op die volgende vraag te kry: "Hoekom
het politieke hervorming tot godsdienstige verdrukking en vervolging aanleiding gegee
en in die finale instansie tot 'n suksesvolle opstand teen die Seleukied koninkryk gelei?"
Die Torah en sy vertolking het die sentrum van die Joodse lewe gevorm. Elke
groep in Juda het die 'wet' op sy eie manier vertolk en ontwikkelinge in verband daarmee
probeer verstaan. Daarom is dit nie moontlik om hierdie tydperk te bestudeer sonder 'n
erkenning van die waarde van die 'wet' en sy verskillende vertolkings nie. Die 'wet' is
die goue draad wat hierdie studie byeen hou.
