  • Moses the General and the Battle against Midian in Philo

    Louis H FeldmanARTICLEJewish Studies Quarterly2007

    »Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495

  • Philo, Pseudo-Philo, Josephus, and Theodotus on the Rape of Dinah

    Louis H FeldmanARTICLEThe Jewish Quarterly Review2004

    This chapter examines several ancient accounts of the rape of Dinah and its consequences and considers why those changes were made and whether the changes made by the authors follow a pattern found in their treatment of other biblical passages or whether they merely answer questions arising from the problems in a particular text. One instance that seems to portray seeming Jewish brutality toward non-Jews is the revenge meted out by Simeon and Lev…

  • How Much Hellenism in the Land of Israel

    Louis H Feldman, Louis FeldmanARTICLEJournal for the Study of Judaism2002

    If the culture of Hellenism did not penetrate into Jewish Palestine as deeply as Hengel and his many followers, it is not due to the immunity of the Jews to foreign influence, because they had often succumbed to it during the biblical period. However, during the Hellenistic Period, except for the brief episode of the Hellenized high priests Jason and Menelaus, we hear of no instances where Jews worshipped Greek gods. Apparently, it was the Samari…

  • The Portrayal of Phinehas by Philo, Pseudo-Philo, and Josephus

    Louis H FeldmanARTICLEThe Jewish Quarterly Review2002

    Philo deals with Phinehas in eight of his essays and Pseudo-Philo refers to him in seven passages, but his role is much reduced in Josephus. Although Phinehas did not work through the judicial system when he slew Zimri and Cozbi, Philo is not at all critical of him. Indeed, Philo claims that Moses sought to reward Phinehas, but he was forestalled by God. In Pseudo-Philo Phinehas' activities span the time from the Exodus to the period of the judge…

  • On Professor Mark Roncace's Portraits of Deborah and Gideon in Josephus

    Louis H FeldmanARTICLEJournal for the Study of Judaism2001

    Professor Mark Roncace's article, Portraits of Deborah and Gideon. Professor Roncace notes that in giving the etymology of Deborah's name the author assert that Josephus seldom provides the etymology of biblical names and that when he does, it is usually to denigrate the person. Josephus also adds an etymology for the name of Samson, which, he says, means strong. Profesor Roncace states that Josephus' etymology of Deborah's name in no way dispara…

  • Rabbinic Insights On the Decline and Forthcoming Fall of the Roman Empire

    Louis H FeldmanARTICLEJournal for the Study of Judaism2000

    Though the Roman Empire is commonly said to have fallen in 476, in the search for causes it is the third and fourth centuries in particular on which scholars have centered their attention. This chapter first discusses the rabbinic comments on the strength of the Roman Empire. It then talks about the predictions of the fall of Rome, and the causes of Roman decline. It ends with a discussion on the struggle between Rome and Persia. Inasmuch as the …
