(57) In the same chapter of Nehemiahverse 22this point is clearly brought out: "The Levites in the days of EliashibJoiadaand Johananand Jadduawere recorded chief of the fathers: also the prieststo the reign of Darius the Persian" - that is to sayin the chronicles; andI supposeno one thinks[Endnote 22]that the lives of Nehemiah and Ezra were so prolonged that they outlived fourteen kings of Persia. (58) Cyrus was the first who granted the Jews permission to rebuild their Temple: the period between his time and Darius fourteenth and last king of Persiaextends over 230 years. (59) I have thereforeno doubt that these books were written after Judas Maccabaeus had restored the worship in the Templefor at that time false books of DanielEzraand Esther were published by evil-disposed personswho were almost certainly Sadduceesfor the writings were never recognized by the Phariseesso far as I am aware; authentic louis vuitton online (http://www.louisvuittonoutletzone.com/) |
