Löydetty 337 Tulokset: Year Of Restoration
Many were the pledges he gave, covenanting for the restoration of these hostages, and at last, for love of their brethren, they let him go free. (2 Maccabees 12, 25)
It was in the hundred and forty-ninth year news came to Judas that Antiochus Eupator was marching on Judaea in great force. (2 Maccabees 13, 1)
and now he had recourse to king Demetrius, in the hundred and fiftieth year. He came with gifts, a gold crown and a palm branch, and wreaths that had been better employed in the service of the temple.✻ No word said he on the first day of his arriving; (2 Maccabees 14, 4)
PREFACE: Many are the important truths conveyed to us by the law, by the prophets and by those other writers who have followed them. Israel must be given credit for its own philosophical tradition, suited not only to instruct those who talk its language, but to reach, in spoken or written form, the outside world too, and bring it great enlightenment. No wonder if my own grandfather, Jesus, who had devoted himself to the careful study of the law, the prophets, and our other ancestral records, had a mind to put something in writing himself that should bear on this philosophical tradition, to claim the attention of eager students who had already mastered it, and to encourage their observance of the law. I must beg its readers to come well-disposed to their task, and to follow me closely, making allowances for me wherever I seem to have failed in the right marshalling of words, as I pass on wisdom at second hand. Hebrew words lose their force when they are translated into another language; moreover, when the Hebrews read out the law, the prophets, and the other books among themselves, they read them out in a greatly different form. It was in my thirty-eighth year,✻ in the reign of Euergetes, that I went to Egypt and spent some time there. When I found writings preserved there which were of high doctrinal value, it seemed to me right and fitting that I, too, should be at some pains; I would set about translating this book. Learning I gave to the task and long labour, and so brought it to an end; and so I offer the book to all who are ready to apply their minds to it, and learn how a man must frame his conduct if he would live by the divine law. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 0)
Why is it that one day which dawns, one year, takes precedence of another, when all come of the same sun? (Ecclesiasticus 33, 7)
yearman about year’s end, idle servant about great undertakings; but all the advice they give thee heed thou never. (Ecclesiasticus 37, 14)
In the year of king Ozias’ death, I had a vision. I saw the Lord sitting on a throne that towered high above me, the skirts of his robe filling the temple. (Isaiah 6, 1)
And in the year of king Achaz’s death, a fresh burden was imposed: (Isaiah 14, 28)
It was in the year when Tharthan, at the bidding of king Sargon of Assyria, inva-ded the territory of Azotus, and captured it by assault, (Isaiah 20, 1)
In a year’s time, the Lord says, by the time a labourer’s contract is out, Cedar shall be robbed of all its glory;✻ (Isaiah 21, 16)
Out upon her, Ariel,✻ the lion-city King David stormed long ago! This year once added to the tale of years, feast-days of it over and gone, (Isaiah 29, 1)
Swiftly the days pass, the year goes round, and you shall have trouble enough, anxious foreboding, when the vintage fails, and no fruit-harvest comes. (Isaiah 32, 10)
