W|hen he heard of his father's conquests he wept bitterly, complaining that by the time he assu|med the crown there would be so little for him to conquer. He was barely twenty years old whe|n he ascended the throne, but he knew well how to make his power felt. He soon conquered th|e Thracians, as well as the rebellious Thebans, and his heroic qualities developed so rapidl|y that he was appointed by the Greeks as military chief in their wars against the Persians. U|ninterrupted success followed his arms, and had he not died at a comparatively early age he w|ould probably have conquered what was then known as the whole world. His victory over the Per|sian General Memnon, on the river Granicus, in the North-West of Asia Minor, opened for him t|he road into the interior of further Asia. He was not slow to take advantage of the opportuni|ty, and pushed rapidly through the States of Asia Minor, through Lydia and Ionia to Pamphylia|. In the latter, near Issus, he gained a brilliant victory over Darius the Third, also know|n as Codomanus, who narrowly escaped death, leaving his mother, his wife and his children i|n the hands of the conqueror.|The Macedonian hero, with his troops intoxicated with victory after victory, now entered Syri|a, not so much in pursuit of Darius as with a view to extending|p. 9|his conquests. He took Damascus and Sidon, and attacked Tyre, so as to become master of the s|ea also.|That city, however, being very strongly fortified, and being on one side protected by the sea|, offered a stubborn resistance, and Alexander found himself compelled to embark on a long si|ege. In order to prevent any untoward event during the siege, Alexander was anxious to ensur|e immunity from the neighbouring State.|He therefore sent a message to Jerusalem, with a letter to the High Priest Jedua with the fol|lowing requests: (1) To supply him with troops; (2) to allow free traffic between the Macedon|ian army and Jerusalem; (3) to give him every possible assistance, such as had been granted t|o Darius. A hint was also thrown out that the High Priest would do well to consider whose fri|endship and goodwill was of greater value--that of the victor, or that of the vanquished.|The letter further expressed Alexander's anticipation of having these modest requests granted|, and assured the Jews that they would have no reason to regret compliance. The Jews could no|t but know that it would be greatly to their advantage to be on good terms with this famous h|ero, and that the beaten Persian could neither benefit nor injure them. Yet they did not fee|l justified in deserting the Persians. The High Priest therefore indited something like the f|ollowing answer:--|'Recognition and high esteem are undoubtedly due to so glorious a hero, yet for the present t|he Jews of Jerusalem cannot comply with his wishes, for these reasons: We Jews have promise|d our loyalty, on our oath, to Darius. So long as that Prince lives the oath has its force, a|nd the Jews could commit no sin so grievous as wilful perjury, seeing that one of their comma|ndments, with which God has entrusted them, is this: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lor|d thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless|p. 10|that taketh His name in vain."' The High Priest moreover mentioned instances--such as Zedekia|h, the last King of Judah, who became disloyal to the Babylonian ruler, his former allegianc|e notwithstanding, and brought calamity upon himself and upon Judea. He further pointed out t|hat Moses' teaching tends to show that the God of Israel is a God of Truth, that treachery an|d untruth bring misfortune on those who practise them, and that it is incumbent on every tru|e adherent of the teaching of Moses to avoid all falsehood and duplicity. Alexander would per|haps have been satisfied with the explanation offered by the High Priest Jedua, had it not be|en for the Samaritans, who, whilst practising all sorts of idolatry, were at the same time an|xious to unite with the Jews, and to be considered as a portion of that body. When the Jews r|epudiated them, they sought to set up a temple of their own on the model of the Jerusalem Tem|ple. Menasseh, a brother of Jedua, formerly a priest, having married a Samaritan woman, the d|aughter of a Samaritan governor, was deprived of his office of priest in the temple, and wa|s naturally all the more anxious to set up an opposition temple, in which he could exercise h|is priestly function. The Samaritans therefore strained every nerve to excite Alexander's ill|will against the Jews, and to obtain his sanction for the erection of a temple on Mount Geriz|im.|Sanblat, the Governor of Samaria, and father-in-law of Menasseh, the expelled priest, sough|t audience of Alexander, and took the opportunity to give his version of the motives of Jedua|, the High Priest, in refusing Alexander's requests. He maintained that loyalty to Darius wa|s not the motive of the refusal, as the Jews, he said, knew nothing of loyalty, but, on the c|ontrary, would overthrow every throne not occupied by one of their own people if they had th|e power. He said that they were priest-ridden, and that if there were any who|p. 11|would join his (Alexander's) army, they dared not venture it, as that would exclude them fro|m participating in the Temple service, which to them meant moral death. If he (the Macedonian|) would only secure an alternative to the Jerusalem Temple by sanctioning the opposition Temp|le which the Samaritans were anxious to set up, this would bring large numbers from Jerusale|m to the new Temple; and the newcomers, no longer fearing exclusion from the Jerusalem servic|e, would gladly join with the Samaritans the banner of the great conqueror Alexander. It is p|erhaps not surprising that the Macedonian conqueror was much impressed with this plausible ve|rsion, especially when the Samaritans, as an earnest of their acceptance of and adhesion to t|he new state of affairs, deserted en masse the ranks of the crushed Darius, and went over t|o Alexander's army.|The desired permission for the building of the Gerizim Temple was granted, and the work was t|aken in band. Soon afterwards, however, the governor, who was a man of advanced age, died. Ty|re could no longer resist the severe siege, and, as predicted by the prophet (Is. 27), it cap|itulated. Indescribable slaughter and ravage took place within its walls; the town was laid i|n ruins, and its heroes were either slaughtered or taken as slaves.|Alexander now turned his attention to the punishment of the Jews, and started with his ever-v|ictorious army for Jerusalem. When the news of the approach of Alexander and his formidable a|rmy reached Jerusalem, there was consternation, and despair ruled supreme amongst the inhabit|ants, one and all. The Jews took refuge, as ever, in their religion; prayer, fasting, sackclo|th and ashes were the order of the day. Confession of sin and repentance were practised dail|y by almost every person. When Alexander was but about one day's distance from Jerusalem, th|e High Priest and Elders of the Temple had the streets of the|p. 12|city beautifully decorated, the public buildings as well as the private residences were magni|ficently adorned, and they ordered the inhabitants to form two lines in the streets--one oppo|site the other--the people to appear in their holiday attire. The gates of the city were bede|cked with garlands of the finest flowers, and triumphal arches were erected. The priests, th|e Levites and the Elders, at their head the venerable High Priest Jedua in full priestly robe|s, mitre, ephod and breastplate, made their way, towards evening, to the entrance of the city|, carrying torches and candles in their hands, and a light was thrown on the brilliant assemb|ly such as eclipsed the noonday brightness of a magnificent summer's day.|Soon after their arrival at the gate, Alexander, at the head of his army, made his appearance|. He was quite astonished at the sight that met his view, and seemed to be overwhelmed on beh|olding the grand and imposing assembly that came to meet him. When he saw the High Priest, wh|o looked even as an angel in his garments, Alexander dismounted, as though impelled by an ins|tinct, bowed himself reverently, and proclaimed aloud: 'Blessed be the God whose servant yo|u are.' His army, however, having anticipated plunder rather than the sight before them, coul|d ill conceal their bewilderment at the strange turn of affairs. They could hardly believe, o|n the evidence of their own senses, that their proud monarch should bend his head so humbly a|nd so reverently before the High Priest. One of Alexander's confidential and favourite office|rs, Parmenion by name, ventured at last to ask the King why he, the proud conqueror, showed s|uch marked honour and deference to the Jewish priest.|'Listen, then,' replied Alexander, 'and I will tell you of a wonderful experience of mine. Wh|ile I was still in Macedonia I often lay awake at night, when all else was at rest, thinkin|g of a plan by which to gain mastery|p. 13|of Asia. One evening, when my thoughts were more than usually occupied with this fond schem|e of mine, I fell, exhausted by this mental strain, into a deep slumber, and saw in a visio|n an awe-inspiring man standing before me. The very sight of him seemed to instil into me cou|rage and hope, and, as though reading my very thoughts, he advised me to cross the borders o|f Greece without further hesitation, and assured me of the success of my projected undertakin|g. That vision of mine was no myth, no nightmare, not the mere phantasy of a heated brain; fo|r not only have I, since that vision, never met with anything but victory, but in the hoar-he|aded and venerable servant of the Jewish God, in his attire and in his bearing, I see no othe|r than the man of my vision. Shall I not then revere the man who was the messenger of his Go|d to lead me to victory? I am equally convinced that my destiny is to overthrow Darius, and f|or that purpose I was called to undertake this venture, and the appearance of this holy man f|oretells complete success.' After this explanation, Alexander entered Jerusalem, accompanie|d by the Jewish dignitaries who came to meet him. He was welcomed and cheered throughout by t|he population of the city. His first request was to be taken to the Temple, where he anxiousl|y inquired concerning the ceremonies and sacrifices and the manner of the services.|His curiosity was gladly satisfied, and the High Priest directed his attention also to the pa|ssage in Daniel 8. 5, where it is foretold that a Greek ruler (which term the High Priest app|lied to Alexander) would overthrow the Persian kingdom, and Alexander was exceedingly please|d with all he saw and heard. The following day the Macedonian hero summoned all the priests a|nd elders, and asked them to tell him, without restraint and hesitation, what they wished o|f him as a token of his great satisfaction at the reception given him, and as a mark of his h|igh estimation of their|p. 14|services and organization. The High Priest, who was the spokesman, asked his Majesty to gran|t them the free and unhindered exercise of their religious rites, and to waive the payment o|f taxes in the Sabbatical year, when, according to the law of Moses, no agricultural pursuit|s were allowed, and consequently there was no revenue from their lands. This was at once gran|ted; but Alexander observed from Jedua's demeanour that there was some further favour he wish|ed to obtain, but that the good man was reluctant to name it. He therefore requested the Hig|h Priest to lay all his wishes before him. The High Priest then ventured to ask that the grea|t monarch might extend his permission regarding the exercise of the religious rites by his Je|wish subjects to all other parts of his wide dominions, such as Babylon and Media, and this w|as also cheerfully granted by the great Alexander. At the express wish of the Macedonian warr|ior, a large number of the most valiant of the Jewish community joined his army, and he gav|e them permission to follow their religious observances in the camp. As a further favour, Ale|xander requested that his likeness might be framed and placed in the Temple. It was pointed o|ut to him that the Jews were strictly forbidden to have pictures and likenesses of anything w|hatever in their places of worship, and, in lieu of this, it was suggested (1) that all mal|e children born in that year throughout Jerusalem should be named Alexander, and (2) that th|e Jews should adopt a new era called the Alexander Era. That era was to commence with Octobe|r 1 of the year 312 before the Christian era. This suggestion met with Alexander's approval|, and up to the eleventh century of the Christian era this method of reckoning the years wa|s actually in force, and was known as the Era of Documents. 1|With Alexander's entry into Jerusalem began a very|p. 15|considerable improvement in the condition of the Jews. 1 The Samaritans used every subterfug|e in order to be recognized as Jews by the Macedonian hero, so that they might enjoy the priv|ileges and advantages bestowed on the latter, but they failed to convince Alexander, who reme|mbered their efforts to prejudice him against the Jews, that they were of the same people. 'I|f you are indeed Jews,' he asked, 'how is it that you are not known by that name?' 'We are,|' they insisted, 'descendants of the Patriarch Jacob, and Israel's God is our God; but the Si|domites call us Samaritans, and we are also known to them by the name of Shechemites, after o|ur capital Shechem.'|Alexander was not satisfied with their answer, and told them that he could not recognize the|m as Jews, and to the Jews alone he had granted the privileges which the Samaritans sought t|o obtain. He asked them to leave the matter in abeyance till his return from the long journe|y he was about to undertake, and on his return he would thoroughly investigate their claim, a|nd then see that justice was done to them. The Samaritans were dissatisfied with Alexander'|s treatment of them, and they rebelled and burned the Governor Andromachus in his own palace|. Alexander's anger at this was very great; he returned, put to death the leaders, exiled a n|umber of Samaritans to Egypt, where they formed a colony in Thebais, and handed a large numbe|r of them over to the Jews as slaves, as a reward for their tried loyalty.|Alexander of Macedonia, be it remembered, was by no means a mere uncouth warrior whose knowle|dge did not extend beyond the narrow compass of the battlefield, for the vast dominion of ar|t and science was an open book to him. From his thirteenth to his eighteenth|p. 16|year he was a pupil of Aristotle, who guided him through all branches of wisdom and knowledge|, and inspired in him a love for Homer's works, which in fact he always carried with him. A|s a consequence, he naturally had a longing for intercourse with the educated and learned me|n of every place which he visited. Arrived in the South, his first step was to have the men d|istinguished for their wisdom brought before him. To them he put the following ten questions|: (1) Which is the longer distance--from the earth to the skies, or from the east of the worl|d to the west? Answer: The last-mentioned is the longer, because if the sun stands in the Eas|t or in the West, then he is perceived in the half of each sphere; but if he is in the centr|e of the sky, then he is not visible everywhere. Consequently he must be higher in the forme|r case than in the latter. (2) Which was created first--the heavens or the earth? Answer: Th|e Almighty clearly commenced His work with the heavens, for is it not said, 'In the beginnin|g God created the heavens and the earth'? (3) Who is truly wise? Answer: He who can foresee t|he result of his acts is truly a wise man. (4) Who is truly strong? Answer: Strength is in th|e possession of him who can overcome his passions. (5) Who can be considered truly rich? Answ|er: Truly rich is he who possesses contentment. (6) How can man acquire true life? Answer: Tr|ue life can be obtained by deadening one's passions. (7) What hastens man's death? Answer: In|dulgence in earthly pleasures. (8) How can man obtain the love of his fellow-men? Answer: B|y not seeking supremacy over them. Alexander felt himself hit by this answer, and said, 'I a|m not of your opinion in this respect. My idea is that, in order to obtain the love of one'|s fellow-man, one must acquire might and power, and use them with discretion.' (9) Which is t|he more agreeable abode--on land or water? Answer: Surely on land, because seafaring men ar|e not happy and contented|p. 17|till they reach land. (10) Who amongst you is considered the wisest? Answer: In this respec|t we are unable to give any one the preference, as you may have observed that our answers wer|e unanimous and simultaneous.|Alexander proceeded in argument with the wise men. 'Why,' he asked, 'are you so averse to hea|thenism, seeing that the heathens greatly outnumber you?' To which he received the reply tha|t it is just the multitude, the masses, who are apt to lose sight of truth, and it is only gi|ven to a comparative few to perceive and understand pure truth. 'But,' he continued, 'it is i|n my power to destroy the whole of you.' 'No doubt,' was the answer, 'you possess the power t|o do so, but we are not apprehensive on that point, having once received the promise of you|r protection.' He then consulted them concerning his projected journey to Africa. The wise me|n answered, 'That you cannot reach, as it lies beyond the dark mountains, which no human foo|t can traverse.' The king seemed to be piqued by this, and said, 'I do not ask you whethe|r I shall or can traverse those mountains. My mind is made up, and there is no resistance t|o my will. What I want to know is the best means known to man for undertaking this formidabl|e expedition.' The wise men advised him to the best of their knowledge. Part of their advic|e was to procure certain draught animals from Libya, which possess the faculty of seeing thei|r way in darkness. The king, having adopted all the necessary measures, started for Africa. H|e arrived at a place called the land of Amazon, whose inhabitants consisted only of women, t|o whom he sent a declaration of war. The women sent a message to him that a war with them cou|ld only be an inglorious one, inasmuch as if he were victorious a victory over women could no|t bring him either fame or honour; whereas if they should be victorious, that would surely br|ing disgrace upon him.|p. 18|The king saw the wisdom of their argument, and gave up the idea of war, but bade them suppl|y him with bread. The women brought him lumps of gold in the shape of loaves of bread. The ki|ng said in amazement 'Do you use this metal as bread?' They answered 'You surely have not com|e all this distance merely for bread; is there no bread in your own country?'|Alexander took his departure thence, but, before starting, he wrote on the gate of the city|: 'I, Alexander of Macedonia, was a simpleton until I arrived at this gate, where I learnt wi|sdom from women.' He next arrived at Katzia, where also he was met with presents of gold. '|I want no gold of yours,' said Alexander to the chief. 'And to what other purpose have you co|me all this great distance?' was the answer, given in the shape of a question. 'I have come,|' said Alexander, 'to become acquainted with your manners and customs, especially with your a|dministration of justice.'|A remarkable case of litigation happened to be in progress in the place at this time. A man w|ho had bought a house of another found in its precincts a treasure-trove, which he took bac|k to the seller, saying: 'This is yours; I bought the house only, and not what may be found i|n it.' The other, in refusing to accept the proffered treasure, argued that he sold the house|, and the buyer was the rightful owner of all that might be found in it. The judge gave his d|ecision that the son of the purchaser of the house should marry the daughter of the seller, a|nd the young couple should receive the treasure as a dowry. As Alexander expressed his wonde|r at and approval of the wise verdict, he was asked by the judge how a similar suit would b|e decided in his own country. 'In my country,' replied Alexander, 'the treasure would be take|n by the Crown, and both parties would be deterred by the threat of death from laying any cla|im to it.' 'How,' said the judge, 'have you also rain and sunshine in your|p. 19|country?' 'Surely,' replied Alexander. 'And you possess also animals and fowls?' 'Why not?' a|sked the Macedonian. 'Then,' remarked the judge, I must suppose that the purpose of the rai|n and sunshine in your land is to sustain those harmless creatures; for you, the human inhabi|tants, judging by your perverseness and injustice, are unworthy of such blessed gifts of natu|re.'|One day they arrived at a river, and as his servants were washing off the salt of the fish, w|hich they carried with them for their august master, in the water of the river, they saw tha|t life was returning to the fishes. When the marvellous event was reported to Alexander, he d|etermined to find the source of that river. He pursued his way, and at last found a gate, whe|re he demanded admittance. The answer he received to his demand was: 'This is the gate of th|e Lord; the righteous shall enter therein,' and he concluded that it must be the gate of Para|dise. As all his pleadings did not gain him admittance, he asked for some article from the pl|ace as a token of his having arrived there. A lump of gold in the shape of a human eye was ha|nded out to him, and on putting it in the scales to ascertain its remarkable weight, he foun|d that whatever weight he might put on the opposite scale, it would not turn the scale on whi|ch the golden eye was put. As soon as he met with the Rabbis again, he asked them to unriddl|e this remarkable thing. The Rabbis told him to put a little earth over the eye, and its weig|ht would vanish. They explained that the eye was a perfect type of the human eye, which, as t|he wise king tells us (Prov. 27.), is never satisfied, until a little earth is put over it (i|n death), and its everlasting hunger ceases. 1|p. 20|Alexander returned home from his great adventures through the wilderness and went to Egypt, w|here he built the city of Alexandria. He was anxious for the Jews, whom he held in high estee|m for their bravery and loyalty, to be among the settlers of the great city. Once, some Afric|an tribe and some descendants of Ishmael laid complaints before him against the Jews. The Afr|icans claimed the possession of Palestine, basing their claim on Numbers 34. 2 and on their b|eing descendants of Canaan; they maintained that they had an undisputed right to the countr|y of their ancestor. The sons of Ishmael, too, put in a claim to the possession of at leas|t a portion of Palestine, as the land was promised to their grandfather Abraham (Gen. 25. 13)|. And so the Egyptians bethought themselves of their claim against the Jews, and referred als|o to a Scriptural passage (Exod. 12. 36).|Alexander had the elders of the Jews summoned to him, and mentioned the claims of the respect|ive parties against them. The Jews selected one named Gebeha, son of Psisa, as their defender|. He faced the plaintiffs, and said: 'You have each based your claims on Scripture; I, too, w|ill plead against you out of the books of Moses, our lawgiver. Regarding the Canaanites, we h|ave it in Genesis 9. 25 that Canaan was cursed and was made a slave to his brothers. A slav|e can possess no property of his own. As to the demand of the Ishmaelites, we have it also o|n the same authority (Gen. 25. 5) that Abraham presented Isaac with all his possessions, an|d to the children of his concubines he made presents and sent them away from his son Isaac.|'Against the claims of the Egyptians, we have a huge counterclaim. The second book of Moses m|entions the|p. 21|time of the Jewish compulsory servitude in Egypt as 430 years. We are fully prepared to resto|re the value of what we carried away from Egypt, if the Egyptians will pay us the wages of 60|0,000 men, whom they compelled to work for them for the period mentioned.'|Alexander demanded a reply on the part of the three claimants against the Jewish arguments, w|ithin three days, if they did not wish to be punished for making fictitious claims.|Nothing more was heard of the claims. 1 The Jews rose in Alexander's esteem daily, and he gav|e them the most beautiful part of the city, on the banks of the river, as their quarter, an|d granted them the full rights of citizenship. The Jewish community increased greatly in weal|th and numbers. A year later, at the battle of Arbela, a town in Chaldea, Alexander entirel|y annihilated the Persian empire. After more wars and conquests, he died suddenly at the ag|e of thirty-three. His death was brought about as much by revelry as by his many cares and bo|dily exhaustion. Some of his generals contended for his throne; he was left unburied for som|e time, and eventually no royal burial was his portion. The Macedonian monarchy was divided a|mongst four of his generals.--Midr. Rabba Gen. 33; Lev. 27. and Tanchuma Emmor, etc.||Footnotes|14:1 See Rapoport's Erech Millin, page 73.|15:1 There is a difference in the dates mentioned in the Talmud.

Notes:

Adopted: By Sheiltiel and made heir . Note: Zorobabel (Zerubbabel), the "royal Jewish heir", 3rd Exilarch at Babylon, circa 545BC ; 8th Governor of Judea, circa 537/536BC; 1st Patriarch of Jerusalem and/or "Prince of Judah" , circa 515BC; recalled & imprisoned 513BC; executed 510BC. He is called the son of Shealtie l in every Bible reference except in one text (1 Chr 3:19) where he is called the son of Shea ltiel’s brother, Pedaiah, which makes that text suspect. This discrepancy is explained by a s cribal error in the parent-manuscript of the “MT” or a missing part in the text due to corrup tion or deterioration of the original manuscript. There is the conjecture that Shealtiel die d without issue and that his widow in a “levirate marriage” with his brother Pedaiah gave bir th to Zorobabel, but this explanation is unlikely for Zorobabel is called Shealtiel’s son eve rywhere, even in “Josephus”. The conjecture that Zorobabel, was the son of Pedaiah, who is ma de into a son of Shealtiel is unlikely also. The discrepancy may have a solution in the “LXX ” text of 1 Chr 3:19, which lists Shealtiel (Salathiel) as Zorobabel’s father. In any case, Z orobabel was the recognized “royal Davidic heir” of his generation. He, upon permission of th e Persian shah, led the first and largest colony of Jewish Exiles back to Palestine, and, wa s entrusted with the office of “governor” (“pehah”) of Judea, his ancestors’ old kingdom to w hich he was heir, which was now a Persian province. His family did not accompany him, but rem ained behind in Babylonia [perhaps as hostages] with the majority of the Jewish “Diaspora”. H e =1 Amytis, a Babylonian princess, called a “foreign wife”; =2 Rhodah, a Persian princes s [ who later re-married a Persian prince], called a "foreign wife"; =3 Esthra, a Jewish prin cess. BD Zerubbabel Grandson of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, and son of Pedaiah (1 Chr. 3: 16-19); in Ezra 3: 2 an d elsewhere he is called “son of Shealtiel,” i.e., probably his nephew or legal heir. Zerubba bel was also known by the Persian name Sheshbazzar (Ezra 1: 8, etc.). When Cyrus gave permiss ion to the Jews to return to Palestine, Zerubbabel was appointed “pekhah” or governor, as th e representative of the Jewish royal house (Ezra 1: 8). He set up an altar in Jerusalem and r ebuilt the temple (see Temple of Zerubbabel) (Ezra 3: 2, 8; Ezra 4: 2-3; Ezra 5: 2); being he lped by Haggai (Hag. 1: 1-14; Hag. 2: 1-23) and Zechariah (Zech. 4: 6-10). In the N.T. he i s called Zorobabel. ZERUBBABEL (born at Babel , i.e. Babylon ), the head of the tribe of Judah at the time of the return fro m the Babylonish captivity in the first year of Cyrus. The history of Zerabbabel in the Scrip tures is as follows: In the first year of Cyrus he was living at Babylon, and was the recogni zed prince of Judah in the captivity, --what in later times was called "the prince of the cap tivity," or "the prince." On the issuing of Cyrus’ decree he immediately availed himself of i t, and placed himself at the head of those of his countrymen "whose spirit God had raised t o go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem." It is probable that he was i n the king of Babylon’s service, both from his having, like Daniel and the three children, re ceived a Chaldee name, Sheshbazzar, and from the fact that he was appointed by the Persian ki ng to the office of governor of Judea. On arriving at Jerusalem, Zerubbabel’s great work, whi ch he set about immediately, was the rebuilding of the temple. In the second month of the sec ond year of the return the foundation was laid with all the pomp which could be commanded. Th e efforts of the Samaritans were successful in putting a stop to the work during the seven re maining years of the reign of Cyrus and through the eight years of Cambyses and Smerdis. No r does Zerubbabel appear quite blameless for this long delay. The difficulties in the way o f building the temple were not such as need have stopped the work and during this long suspen sion of sixteen years Zerubbabel and the rest of the people had been busy in building costl y houses for themselves. But in the second year of Darius, light dawned upon the darkness o f the colony from Babylon. In that year --it was the most memorable event in Zerabbabel’s lif e --the spirit of prophecy suddenly blazed up with a most brilliant light among the returne d captives. Their words fell like sparks upon tinder. In a moment Zerubbabel roused from hi s apathy, threw his whole strength into the work. After much opposition [see NEHEMIAH] and ma ny hindrances find delays, the temple was at length finished, in the sixth pear of Darius, an d was dedicated with much pomp and rejoicing. [TEMPLE] The only other works of Zerubbabel o f which we learn from Scripture are the restoration of the courses of priests and Levites an d of the provision for their maintenance, according to the institution of David (Ezra 6:18; N ehemiah 12:47) the registering the returned captives according to their genealogies, (Nehemia h 7:5) and the keeping of a Passover in the seventh year of Darius, with which last event end s all that we know of the life of Zerubbabel, His apocryphal history is told in 1 Esdr. 3-7 . The exact parentage of Zerubbabel is a little obscure, from his being always called the so n of Shealtiel, (Ezra 3:2,8; 5:2) etc.; (Haggai 1:1,12,14) etc., end appearing as such in th e genealogies of Christ (Matthew 1:12; Luke 3:27) whereas in (1 Chronicles 3:19) he is repres ented as the son of Pedaiah, Shealtiel or Salathiel’s brother, and consequently as Salathiel’ s nephew. Zerubbabel was the legal successor and heir of Jeconiah’s royal estate, the grandso n of Neri and the lineal descendant of Nathan the son of David. In the New Testament the nam e appears in the Greek form of Zorobabel. PEDAIAH (whom Jehovah redeems ). 2. The brother of Salathiel or Shealtiel and father of Zerubbabel who is usually called the " son of Shealtiel," being, as Lord A. Hervey conjectures, in reality his uncle’s successor an d heir, in consequence Of the failure of issue in the direct line. (1 Chronicles 3:17-19) (B. C. before 536.) ZERUBBABEL The seed of Babylon, the son of Salathiel or Shealtiel (Haggai 1:1; Zorobabel, Matthew 1:12) ; called also the son of Pedaiah (1 Chronicles 3:17-19), i.e., according to a frequent usag e of the word "son;" the grandson or the nephew of Salathiel. He is also known by the Persia n name of Sheshbazzar (Ezra 1:8,11). In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, he led the f irst band of Jews, numbering 42,360 (Ezra 2:64), exclusive of a large number of servants, wh o returned from captivity at the close of the seventy years. In the second year after the Ret urn, he erected an altar and laid the foundation of the temple on the ruins of that which ha d been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar (3:8-13; ch. 4-6). All through the work he occupied a prom inent place, inasmuch as he was a descendant of the royal line of David. Zerubbabel = "born at Babel, i.e. Babylon" (dzor-ob-ab'-el) the head of the tribe of Judah at the time of the return from Babylonish captivity in the fir st year of Cyrus Zerubbabel = "sown in Babylon" (zer-oob-baw-bel') the grandson of king Jehoiachin and leader of the first group of returning exiles from Babylo n ZERUBBABEL ze-rub'-a-bel (zerubbabhel, probably a transliteration of the Babylonian name Zeru-Babili, "s eed of Babylon"; Zorobabel): 1. Name: Is commonly called the son of Shealtiel (Ezra 3:2,8; 5:2; Nehemiah 12:1; Haggai 1:1,12,14; Ma tthew 1:12; Luke 3:27); but in 1 Chronicles 3:19 he is called the son of Pedaiah, the brothe r apparently of Shealtiel (Salathiel) and the son or grandson of Jeconiah. It is probable tha t Shealtiel had no children and adopted Zerubbabel; or that Zerubbabel was his levirate son ; or that, Shealtiel being childless, Zerubbabel succeeded to the rights of sonship as bein g the next of kin. 2. Family: Whatever may have been his blood relationship to Jeconiah, the Scriptures teach that Zerubbab el was his legal successor, of the 3rd or 4th generation. According to 1 Chronicles 3:19, h e had one daughter, Shelomith, and seven sons, Meshullam, Hananiah, Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah , Hasadiah and Jushab-hesed. In Matthew 1:13 he is said to have been the father of Abiud (i.e . Abi-hud). As it is the custom in Arabia today to give a man a new name when his first son i s born, so it may have been, in this case, that Meshullam was the father of Hud, and that hi s name was changed to Abiud as soon as his son was named Hud. In Luke 3:27, the son of Zerubb abel is called Rhesa. This is doubtless the title of the head of the captivity, the resh gelu tha', and would be appropriate as a title of Meshullam in his capacity as the official repres entative of the captive Jews. That Zerubbabel is said in the New Testament to be the son of S healtiel the son of Neri instead of Jeconiah may be accounted for on the supposition that She altiel was the legal heir or adopted son of Jeconiah, who according to Jeremiah 36:30 was app arently to die childless. 3. Relation to Sheshbazzar: It has been shown in the article on Sheshbazzar that he and Zerubbabel may possibly have bee n the same person and that the name may have been Shamash-ban (or bun)-zer-Babili-usur. It se ems more probable, however, that Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah, was governor under Cyrus a nd that Zerubbabel was governor under Darius. The former, according to Ezra 1:8 and 5:14-16 , laid the foundations, and the latter completed the building of the temple (Ezra 2:2,68; 4:2 ; Haggai 1:14; Zechariah 4:9). 4. History: All that is known certainly about Zerubbabel is found in the canonical books of Zechariah, Ha ggai and Ezra-Nehemiah. According to these he and Jeshua, the high priest, led up a band of c aptives from Babylon to Jerusalem and began rebuilding the temple in the second year of Dariu s Hystaspis. They first constructed the altar of burnt offerings, and afterward built a templ e, usually called the Second Temple, much inferior in beauty to that of Solomon. According t o Josephus and the apocryphal Book of Ezra (1 Esdras 3,4), Zerubbabel was a friend of Dariu s Hystaspis, having successfully competed before him in a contest whose object was to determi ne what was the strongest thing in the world--wine, kings, women, or truth. Zerubbabel, havin g demonstrated that truth was the mightiest of all, was called the king's "cousin," and was g ranted by him permission to go up to Jerusalem and to build the temple. Zerubbabel was also m ade a governor of Jerusalem, and performed also the duties of the tirshatha, an official wh o was probably the Persian collector of taxes. See TIRSHATHA. ZERUBBABEL Governor of Judah in the late sixth century BCE (the name means ‘Scion of Babylon’), to who m there are references in the books of Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah. Zerubbabel was a grandso n of King Jehoiachim of Judah who was deposed by Nebuchadnezzar in 597 BCE. In Zechariah's vi sion (Zechariah 3 and 4), Zerubbabel and Joshua the High Priest are encouraged in their attem pt to rebuild the Temple. In this section the words occur: ‘This is the word of the Lord to Z erubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit’ (Zechariah 4: 6), words that have se rved as an inspiration throughout Jewish history to practical leaders of the same type as Zer ubbabel and as a reminder to them not to depend over-much on their own abilities. Zerubbabe l remains, however, a shadowy figure, and there is considerable uncertainty about the exact r ole he played after the return from the Babylonian exile. In one passage in the Talmud (Sanhe drin 38a) he is identified with Nehemiah. In the ‘ Maoz Tzur’ hymn sung on Hanukkah, the nam e Zerubbabel is rhymed with ketz bavel (‘the end of Babylon’). ZERUBBABEL The successor to Daniel in the service of the King, Zerubbabel, enjoyed equally as much roya l consideration and affection. He occupied a higher position than all the other servants an d officials, and he and two others constituted the body-guard of the King. 23 Once when the K ing lay wrapped in deep slumber, his guards resolved to write down what each of them consider ed the mightiest thing in the world, and he who wrote the sagest saying should be given ric h presents and rewards by the King. What they wrote they laid under the pillow on which the h ead of the King rested, that he might not delay to make a decision after he awoke. The firs t one wrote: "Wine is the mightiest thing there is"; the second wrote: "The King is the might iest on earth," and the third, Zerubbabel, wrote: "Women are the mightiest in the world, bu t truth prevails over all else." When the King awoke, and he perused the document, he summone d the grandees of his realm and the three youths as well. Each of the three was called upon t o justify his saying. In eloquent words the first described the potency of wine. When it take s possession of the senses of a man, he forgets grief and sorrow. Still more beautiful and co nvincing were the words of the second speaker, when his turn came to establish the truth of h is saying, that the King was the mightiest on earth. Finally Zerubbabel depicted in glowing w ords the power of woman, who rules even over kings. "But," he continued, "truth is supreme ov er all; the whole earth asks for truth, the heavens sing the praises of truth, all creation q uakes and trembles before truth, naught of wrong can be found in truth. Unto truth belonget h the might, the dominion, the power, and the glory of all times. Blessed be the God of truth ." When Zerubbabel ceased from speaking, the assembly broke out into the words: "Great is tru th, it is mightier than all else

" The King was so charmed with the wisdom of Zerubbabel tha t he said to him: "Ask for aught thou wishest, it shall be granted thee." Zerubbabel require d nothing for himself, he only sought permission of the King to restore Jerusalem, rebuild th e sanctuary, and return the holy Temple vessels to the place whence they had been carried off . Not only did Darius grant what Zerubbabel wished for, not only did he give him letters of s afe-conduct, but he also conferred numerous privileges upon the Jews who accompanied Zerubbab el to Palestine, and he sent abundant presents to the Temple and its officers. 24 As unto his predecessor Daniel, so unto Zerubbabel, God vouchsafed a knowledge of the secret s of the future. Especially the archangel Metatron dealt kindly with him. Besides revealing t o him the time at which the Messiah would appear, he brought about an interview between the M essiah and Zerubbabel. 25 In reality, Zerubbabel was none other than Nehemiah, who was given this second name because h e was born in Babylon. 26 Richly endowed as Zerubbabel-Nehemiah was with admirable qualities , he yet did not lack faults. He was excessively self-complacent, and he did not hesitate t o fasten a stigma publicly upon his predecessors in the office of governor in the land of Jud ah, among whom was so excellent a man as Daniel. To punish him for these transgressions, th e Book of Ezra does not bear the name of its real author Nehemiah. 27 Zerubavel Tanach Class: Zerubavel - Part I Hello, This week we began to look at a man named Zerubavel . Zerubavel played an interesting role in Jewish history at the time of the building of the S econd Temple. Within Midrash Zerubavel plays another role - companion to Mashiach. Hopefully , we will learn a bit about each role. Zerubavel is mentioned in three books of Tanach: 1. In Chaggai (Chaggai 1-2), the prophet Chaggai is given a Divine order for Zerubavel to beg in building the Second Temple. 2. In Zecharyah (Zecharyah 4), Gd sends a message to Zerubavel , informing him that he will succeed, and that his success will come through Gd rather than t hrough human power. 3. In the book of Ezra (Ezra 2-5) we are told of Zerubavel's actual perio d as governor of the Jews, and of his political activities. This role we focussed on Zerubavel's lineage and identity. Zerubavel's lineage The Gemara (S anhedrin 37b-38a) identifies Zerubavel's father as none other than Yechanyah. Yechanyah wa s a Jewish king, and he was taken to Bavel by Nevuchadnezzar, 11 years before the destructio n of the Temple. Yechanyah was a young man of 18 at the time, and he was held captive until E vil Merodach succeeded Nevuchadnezzar and freed him. According to this Gemara, Yechanyah imp regnated a woman while he was in prison, and the child of this relationship was Zerubavel. T he Midrash (such as in Shir haShirim Rabbah 8) points out that Zerubavel represents a reversa l of fortunes for Yechanyah. Yechanyah had been told by prophets that his children would neve r rise to greatness; Zerubavel, himself, was a sign that Yechanyah's repentance was accepted . The Rambam holds this up (Hilchos Teshuvah 7:6) as an example of the power of repentance.Ib n Ezra (Shemos 2:10, Chaggai 1:1) rejects the idea that Zerubavel was Yechanyah's son. He say s that Zerubavel was the son of Pediyah, based on a verse in Divrei haYamim. Zerubavel is gen erally identified as a son of Shealtiel, because Shealtiel was Pediyah's brother, and Shealti el raised Zerubavel. For a third version, Radak (Melachim II 8:26, Yechezkel 21:32) says tha t this was the family line: Yechanyah-Shelatiel-Pediyah-Zerubavel. Shealtiel may have been li sted as the father because he was more well-known and respected than Pediyah. Zerubavel's Na me The Gemara (Sanhedrin 37b-38a) also says that Zerubavel was known by multiple names. Zerub avel was also Shealtiel, and was also Nechemyah. Obviously, this wreaks havoc with the verse s in which Zerubavel is known as the son of Shealtiel. In addition, as Ibn Ezra points out i n a comment to Shemos 2:9 in his Peirush haKatzar, Zerubavel and Nechemyah are often mentione d separately in the same verse. Ibn Ezra says this Gemara is not meant literally. Radak (Zech aryah 3:9 and 4:14) also seems not to take this Gemara literally, although he does cite it (D ivrei haYamim I 3:17). Ibn Ezra (Chaggai 2:22, Daniel 6:29, Ezra 1:8) also mentions that Zer ubavel was also known as Sheshbatzar. He takes "Sheshbatzar" to be a Babylonian variant to "Z erubavel." Zerubavel's Relationship with Gd Avos deRabbi Nasan (2) says Zerubavel was born c ircumcised. This seems to be learned from Gd's reference to Zerubavel as "Avdi," "my slave, " in Chaggai 2:23. Avos deRabbi Nasan (43) also mentions that Zerubavel was one of 18 peopl e to be termed "Eved HaShem," "Slave of Gd." The Midrash (Sifri Devarim 27) expands on this , saying that we find the true servants of Gd didn't identify themselves as such. Those in Ta nach who called themselves "Eved HaShem" actually were not that. Zerubavel was a scholar. Ra shi (Bava Basra 15a) mentions that Zerubavel was a member of the Anshei Kenesses haGedolah, t he Great Assembly, who led the Jews at the beginning of the Second Beis haMikdash. He was amo ng those who established our order of prayer, including the Shemoneh Esreih [Amidah]. Gd-wil ling, we will learn more about Zerubavel, including his role in the time of Mashiach, next we ek. ... -- Zerubavel - Part II Hello, This week we looked at Zerubavel's status as a descen dant of Yehudah and King David, and his relationship with Mashiach. Zerubavel as a descendan t of Yehudah As a descendant of King Yechanyah, Zerubavel was also scion of the line of Yehud ah and King David. The Midrash (Bereishis Rabbah 97:8) lists a series of leaders who came fro m Yehudah, including them in Yaakov's blessing to Yehudah, "Atah Yoducha Achecha," "Your brot hers will praise/thank you," ie your leaders. In addition, the Midrash (Aggadas Bereishis 27 :1) makes an interesting point relevant to the story of Yehudah and Tamar. In that story (whi ch we discussed somewhat in a Tanach class archived at http://members.tripod.com/~ohave/chuma sh/tamar.htm), Tamar asks for a collateral from Yehudah, of "Chosamcha (your signet ring), Pe silecha (your cloak), and Matcha Asher beYadecha (your staff in your hand)." In a message t o Chaggai, HaShem identifies Zerubavel as His Chosam, His sealing ring. Thus Tamar's statemen t to Yehudah becomes quasi-prophetic, predicting the "Chosam" who would come from their union . Zerubavel as a Quasi-Monarch Rashi on Shir haShirim (6:10) comments that Divine redemptio n comes like the dawn, beginning with weak light and building into daybreak. Rashi says tha t our redemption began with Zerubavel, who was a governor under the Persian/Mede authority, a nd built until the time of the Hasmonean army, which gained us temporary autonomy. Similarly , Ibn Ezra (Zecharyah 11:7) comments that Zerubavel's leadership was not full-fledged monarch y Radak (Zecharyah 6:11), though, states that Zerubavel attained the position of monarch whe n he built the Beis haMikdash. (See Shut Divrei Chachamim, 102, for an analysis of Ezra's rol e in the rebuilding vs. Zerubavel's role.) Zerubavel as Builder of the Beis haMikdash The Je ws actually started to build the Beis haMikdash under Koresh, a Persian king, and then they s topped. They resumed under Zerubavel, at the behest of a prophet, Chaggai. Chaggai delivere d a sharp message, informing the Jews that it was inappropriate for them to dwell in their ho mes as the Temple was in ruins. Radak (Chaggai 1:1) comments that the Jews were stalling ou t of fear for their enemies. Zerubavel and Foreign Relations Zerubavel, as the leader of th e rebuilding process, led the Jews in their conflict with the Shomronim, the Samaritans. Th e Samaritans were a group who had converted to Judaism in an attempt to ward off lions who we re marauding their camps. They never actually surrendered their idols, and they continued t o cling to idolatrous worship. When the Jews first began building the 2nd Beis haMikdash, th e Samaritans tried to sabotage the work from within. They asked to join the project, but Zeru bavel knew what they were up to. Zerubavel rebuffed them, declaring (Ezra 4:3), "It is not fo r you and for us to build a house for Gd." This led the Samaritans to tell Koresh that the Je ws were planning to rebel against him, and so Koresh halted the rebuilding process. As a res ult of this interference from the Shomronim, as well as an attempt they made to murder Nechem yah, Zerubavel excommunicated them. Zerubavel, along with Ezra and Yehoshua (the Kohen Gadol) , gathered 300 Kohanim, with 300 Shofaros and 300 Torah scrolls, and executed a ban on eatin g bread baked by a Samaritan. On the other hand, Zerubavel had a fine relationship with th e Persians and Medes. Ibn Ezra on Zecharyah 11:10-11 comments that Zerubavel was called "Noam ," "pleasant," because he had a covenant of peace with the surrounding nations. The covenan t ended with Zerubavel's death. (See Radak Zecharyah 11:14 for an alternate explanation of "N oam.") Prophecies regarding Zerubavel There were a number of prophecies regarding Zerubavel' s leadership. Time is brief at the moment, so I'll just note Rashi Zecharyah 6:11, Ibn Ezra Z echaryah 3:8, Ibn Ezra Michah 4:11, Ibn Ezra Zecharyah 4:14, and Radak Yechezkel 17:23-24. T he Midrash picks up on the fact that many of the Zerubavel-oriented prophecies predicted grea t military power and political sovereignty for the Jewish people, which did not happen durin g Zerubavel's time. As a result, the Midrash suggests two approaches: 1. The prophecies refe r to Zerubavel's descendant, Mashiach. Midrash Tanchuma Toldos 20 points out that Mashiach wi ll descend from Zerubavel, and uses this to interpret Zecharyah 4:7. The "great mountain" bef ore Zerubavel is his descendant, Mashaich, who will judge people "beMishor," with even-hande d justice. (See also Aggadas Bereishis 27:1) 2. The second approach actually returns Zerubav el to "active duty" in the time of Mashiach. Eliyahu Zuta 20 has Zerubavel acting as a teache r explaining the Torah HaShem will teach on the Day of Judgment. The Otzar Midrashim goes ev en further with this, recording a "Sefer Zerubavel," "Book of Zerubavel," with all sorts of M essianic predictions. Ibn Ezra (Shemos 2:22 in his Peirush haKatzar) did not trust the Book o f Zerubavel; he said it was not compiled by prophets or sages, and that it contained ideas wh ich run counter to an appropriate understanding of Torah. Having said that, I'll just mentio n that the Otzar Midrashim (pg. 97) mentions Mashiach, Eliyahu and Zerubavel ascending the Mo unt of Olives together to blow the Shofar heralding the arrival of Mashiach. This same body o f Midrash (pg. 407) also has Zerubavel reciting a Kaddish after HaShem teaches Torah to the m asses on "Judgment Day." (http://members.tripod.com/~ohave/chumash/zeruba.htm) Zerubbabel - * Also called SHESHBAZZAR * Directs the rebuilding of the altar and temple after his Return from captivity in Babyl on -- Ezra 3:2-8; 4:2,3; 5:2,14-16; Haggai 1:12-14 * Leads the Emancipated Jews back from Babylon -- Ezra 1:8-11; 2; Nehemiah 12 * Appoints the Levites to inaugarate the rebuilding of the Temple -- Ezra 3:2-8 * Prophecies relating to -- Haggai 2:2; Zechariah 4:6-10 * Called ZOROBABEL in the genealogy of Joseph -- Matthew 1:12; Luke 3:27 Zerubbabel - * (or Sheshbazzar, leader of the Jews who returned from captivity) * Ezra 3:8 * Nehemiah 12:47 * Haggai 2:2 * Zechariah 4:6 (http://www.studylight.org/con/tcr/) ZERUBBABEL OR ZOROBABEL Son of Salathiel of the royal race of David, called "Sheshbbazzar the prince of Judah" in Ezr a 1:8. Zerubbabel, as his name imports, was born in Babylon, and was the leader of the firs t colony of Jews which returned from the Babylonish captivity, 536 B. C. Cyrus committed to h is care the sacred vessels of the temple, with which he returned to Jerusalem, Ezra 1:11. H e is always named first, as being chief of the Jews that returned to their own country, Ezr a 2:2 3:8 5:2 Haggai 1:1 2:1-9,21-23. He laid the foundations of the temple, Ezra 3:8,9 Zecha riah 4:9, and restored the worship of the Lord, and the usual sacrifices. When the Samaritans offered to assist in rebuilding the temple, Zerubbabel and the principa l men of Judah refused them this honor, since Cyrus had granted his commission to the Jews on ly, Ezra 4:2,3. They procured from the Persian court an order that the work should cease; an d it was not resumed until the second year of Darius son of Hystapes, 521 BC. We know nothin g further of his history, except that from him both Joseph and Mary descended, Matthew 1:13 L uke 3:27. ZERUBBABEL (zeh ruhb' buh behl) Personal name meaning, “descendant of Babel.” The grandson of King Jehoi achin (taken to Babylon in the first Exile in 597 B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar; 2 Kings 24:10-17) a nd the son of Shealtiel (Ezra 3:2), second son of Jehoiachin (1 Chronicles 3:16-17). He is na med in Ezra 2:2 among the leaders of those who returned from Exile. The list in Ezra 2:1-67 ( compare Nehemiah 7:6-73) probably names people who returned in 539, the first year of the rei gn of Cyrus the Great, ruler of the Persian Empire (Ezra 1:1), or between 539 and 529, despit e the contention of many American scholars that the list belongs to an unmentioned second ret urn led by Zerubbabel in 521/20. According to Ezra 3:1, Zerubbabel and Jeshua (or Joshua, the high priest) rebuilt the altar a nd in their second year (538?) laid the foundation of the Temple, but their work was halted b y opposition from persons who had remained in Palestine during the Exile (Ezra 4:1-6,Ezra 4:2 4). Darius (Persian emperor from 522-486 B.C.) granted the Jews permission to continue rebuil ding the Temple (Ezra 6:1-12). Under the urging of Haggai (Haggai 1:1,Haggai 1:12-15; Hagga i 2:1,Haggai 2:20) and Zechariah (Zechariah 4:6-10), Zerubabel, now governor (Haggai 1:1) i n place of Sheshbazzar (Ezra 5:14), resume the task (Ezra 5:1-2), completed in 515 B.C. Zerubbabel himself, however, disappeared from view. He was a Davidic prince, so it is possibl e that the Jews tried to crown him king during the civil war surrounding the rise of Darius a s emperor (522/21). Zechariah 6:9-14 may reflect the wish to crown Zerubbabel, but his fate r emains unknown. See Babylon; Israel; Zechariah.

The second, whose story I am now writing, who had the surname of the Mindful|, was the grandson of the former, by his daughter Parysatis, who brought Darius four sons, th|e eldest Artaxerxes, the next Cyrus, and two younger than these, Ostanes and Oxathres. Cyru|s took his name of the ancient Cyrus, as he, they say, had his from the sun, which, in the Pe|rsian language, is called Cyrus. Artaxerxes was at first called Arsicas; Dinon says Oarses; b|ut it is utterly improbable that Ctesias (however otherwise he may have filled his books wit|h a perfect farrago of incredible and senseless fables) should be ignorant of the name of th|e king with whom he lived as his physician, attending upon himself, his wife, his mother, an|d his children.||Cyrus, from his earliest youth, showed something of a headstrong and vehement character; Arta|xerxes, on the other side, was gentler in everything, and of a nature more yielding and sof|t in its action. He married a beautiful and virtuous wife, at the desire of his parents, bu|t kept her as expressly against their wishes.|...[MUCH MORE]|(http://www.4literature.net/Plutarch/Artaxerxes/)

When Alexander the son of Philip, the M|acedonian, came (to Egypt), he made enquiries about his grave, and took and brought him to Al|exandria.

From that time, and until Christ was born, the Egyptians used to set a virgi|n and a baby in a crib, and to worship him, because of what Jeremiah said to them, that He sh|ould be born in a crib.||2 See Migne, Patrologiae Cursus, Ser.
