In the Fourth Gospel the Last Supper Was the Paschal Meal
Isaiah 41
This is a chapter of unique importance for the understanding of the prophey of Second Isaiah. The interpretation of this poem of 29 verses — or, specifically, of its verses 1–3 and 25 f. — carries with it the entire conception of “the Prophet of the Exile”; his quality, his message, the amount of the prophecy that can be assigned to him, and indeed the theory of the origin of chapters 34–66. Two widely different interpretations, the one incompati…

Arabic Inscriptions
The Question of the Original Language of Qoheleth
In Memoriam Warren Joseph Moulton, 1865-1947
Medes and Persians
The aim of the present investigation is to set forth the Jewish conception of Medo-Persian relations as it is embodied in the scriptures of the Old Testament, including the Apocrypha. This is not a superfluous task. There are certain fundamental ideas of this important period of Jewish history, firmly held without variation in all the 0. T. writings concerned, which no commentator or historian appears to have seen clearly.1 It is customary in dea…
The Older Book of Esther
On several counts, Esther is the strangest book in the Bible. Few of those who read it realize what a variety of curious problems it presents, and how little has been done toward solving them. As a preliminary to the following study, a few of the most troublesome questions raised by the book may be briefly stated
The Name “Iscariot”
One of the puzzles of the Gospel tradition has been the interpretation of the epithet which distinguishes the betrayer of Jesus from other bearers of the very common name Judas. The attempt to explain it has brought forth perhaps as many impossible theories as any other New Testament riddle of the kind. The most recent authoritative work dealing with Palestinian affairs, the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 6 (1942), merely mentions three atte…
The Evolution of a Financier in the Ancient Near East
Notes on the Greek Texts of Enoch
THE AIMT of the following notes is twofold: first, to restore the true meaning, and as far as possible the original (Semitic) form, in passages known to be obscure and presumably corrupt; second, to establish finally-that which has not hitherto been established-the original language of the book in each of its parts. The procedure is determined by the problem. It is necessary first to collect the passages which as they stand are mere nonsense and …

A Hebrew Seal from the Reign of Ahaz
The Letters Prefixed to Second Maccabees
THE TWO DOCUMENTS treated in the following pages have been sadly misunderstood, for reasons that will be made clear. They are in fact what they profess to be, official letters sent from the Jews in Jerusalem to those in Egypt; and their historical importance, in more than one particular, is not slight. Neither of the two, up to the present time, has been correctly translated; and the false interpretation of the second and longer document, making …

Armageddon
The term “Armageddon,” familiar in English literature, primarily designates the scene of the last great battle at the end of the present age, in which the powers of evil, represented by hostile nations warring against the Kingdom of God, are to be overthrown and destroyed. The name is derived from a passage in the Book of Revelation, 16:16, in which a standing feature of Hebrew eschatology is given a setting characteristic of the apocalypse

The Letters of Simeon the Stylite
SAINT SIMEON of the Pillar has always been one of the extremely interesting figures in the history of the Oriental church, as he is certainly one of the most characteristic. We are fortunate, too, in possessing considerable detailed information as to his life and work, derived for the most part from contemporary sources. This information is not always, nor even generally, trustworthy, to be sure; but the portion which we can use with confidence i…

The Outlook for American Oriental Studies: The Presidential Address for 1918
SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, in March, 1843, the American Oriental Society was incorporated, by the laws of the State of Massachusetts. Many of us who are present today remember the celebration of the semi-centennial of the Society in Boston, in 1893. The interval of twenty-five years seems to us a short one, though it has witnessed some important changes, and a steady advance in the most of the activities represented by our organization. There is an …
The Mosaic Inscription at 'Ain Dūk
“Strain Out a Gnat and Adorn a Camel”
In the late Professor Camden Cobern's useful book entitled The New Archaeological Discoveries and their Bearing upon the New Testament a section is devoted to Tatian's Harmony of the Gospels, and on pages 205–207 a list of its remarkable readings is given, according to the Arabic text published by Ciasca. The list is misleading, for many of the supposed examples of variation from, the standard text are not such in reality. Hamlyn Hill's English t…
