He begins with the Bible, and after it he collects     other source till his own time. The work was published in 93, under     emperor Domitian, but unfortunately the Biblical part is a paraphrase, not     an accurate translation, and it has often been thought that it was merely     a loose adaptation of a previous Greek translation. However, this study     offers a minute comparison with other ancient Biblical texts known to us     in Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek. The general conclusion is that he used only a     Hebrew source, which has some af-finities with several Qumran fragments.     Beyond many little details, one can see that for some books, especially     Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, the copies he used     were quite differ-ent from the canonical forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55168877199734,"sku":"9789042936768","price":86.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26448246.jpg?v=1737383725","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042936768-the-hebrew-bible-of-josephus-main-features","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
