SSS Market 8b - Saa Franclsee 4. Calif. . i THE RULE OF THE PRIESTS all that the Jews were their religion was so vital, so simple, as it had been in the days of Micah or Jeremiah. It laid stress on showy externals, on essentially unimportant things not eating certain foods, bringing regular gifts to the priest, observing certain festivals. And the exile was very largely to blame for this change. , Even before the destruction of the old Temple, the seeds of a religion of priestliness had taken root in Palestine. But it had been unable to flourish then because the greater prophets had been most strenuously opposed to it, and the people themselves had been only feebly attracted by it. Now, however, that the Jews had seen the great temples and had witnessed the gorgeous ceremonies of priest-ridde- n peoples like the Babylonians, they eagerly took to imitating that sort of thing. And gone were the rebels, the true prophets, who might have decried the trend. Year by year the power of the priests grew mightier among the Jews. Wealth rapidly accumulated in their hands, for each season the plain people had to take them the choicest portions of their flocks and harvests. Forgotten was the old democratic ideal of the prophets that all Jews were priests. Now only those who were supposed to come from the tribe of Levi were allowed to minister in the only Temple; and furthermore those who were supposed to come from the tribe of Levi were allowed to minister in the Temple; and furthermore only those of the family of Aaron of the tribe of .Levi were considered holy enough actually tq perform the sacrifices; and still further, only one directly descended from Solomons favorite priest, Zadok, could possibly become the High Priest The High Priest was virtually the king of the land, and the lesser priests were the princes. They were no better, of course, than lay kings and princes. They were forever conspiring among themselves, cheating and murdering their way from one office to another. But for all their corruption, they did succeed in doing one thing: they kept the Jews alive as a separate people. They walled them in with their little rules and regulations, keeping them rigorously segregated from all the other tribes and the peoples. Even Samaritans were cut off completely and had to start a temple of their own in northern Palestine. But despite the efforts of the priests, foreign influences did seep into the life of the people. Gradually their language changed from Hebrew to Aramaic, so that after a few generations they could not understand even their own Scriptures. In their synagogues each for those t meeting Sabbath houses they had created in the exile had become common now throughout Judea they had to read their Holy Writings through an Aramaic translation called the Targum. And many of their religious ideas changed, too. Outwardly no sign of this change in thought was evident. None was there to hail it, and so none could rise to decry it But then came Alexander, and all was made open. In the fateful year 333 B. C. Alexander of Macedon became master of the Persian empire, and a year later, on his march toward Egypt he took possession of Palestine. (The little land was still the one bridge used by the empire builders). But this Alexander, a mere boy in years, was quite unlike the ordinary His aim seems to have been not so much the gaining of power as the spreading of culture. He dreamed of scattering throughout the world the seeds of Greek civilidid zation. And so energetically he try to realize his dream that, though he died at the age of ree, his Greek colonies dotted world. all of the Alexanders effect on the Jews and iheir religion was greater than in histhat of any other non-Jetory. He was generous to them and gave them every liberty; but at the same time he located peaceful settlemeflts of his own people throughout Palestine.

Jews began to affect the use of Greek words in their conversation, and began to give their children Greek names. GREECE NOW OVERLORD the word comes meaning Greece began to make itself felt in every walk of Jewish life, especially in the many Jewish settlements outside of Palestine. Unfortunately, it was not the Hellenism of classic Greece, the Hellenism that flowered in the genius of Socrates, Plato, Sophocles, and Phidias. Rather it was the Hellenism debased and sullied through long handling by Macedonians and other lesser tribes. But debased as it was, it nevertheless proved attractive. Even the priests in Jerusalem began to take to it. Indeed, they were attracted to it even more than the plain people. The story goes that they actually left the sacrifices unburnt on the altars in the Temple, and hurried off to the arenas to watch the Greek athletes there. Greek manners and vices became the great fashion of the day, for the more a Jew aped them the better seemed his chance of growing in power and station. Of course, this change did not come about overnight, but took three or four generations. After Alexander died, his empire was divided into three kingdoms; and Palestine, being the bridge between two of them, naturally became the scene of constant warfare. First it belonged to the Ptolemies, who ruled over Egypt; but before long the Seleucids, who ruled over Syria and Mesopotamia, tried to annex it The attempt failed, but it was nevertheless repeated several times, for Syria So greatly coveted the bridge. for fully a century the little land was torn this way and that Armies tramped up and down its highways continually, and there was war and confusion without rest. But finally the bloody contest was brought .to end when, in the year 198 B. C., the Syrians drove the Egyptian army back to the Nile country and formally annexed Palestine. had been seeping Hellenism steadily into Palestine during all that troublous century. Indeed, had nothing occurred to stem the tide, it might have so flooded the land that Jewish life and thought would in time have been drowned out But one day there completely. arose in Syria a king named Epiphanes, who by his headstrong impatience spoiled everything. It is difficult to understand just what was wrong with this king. He seems to have been learned and markedly clever but also at moments quite insane. He took great delight in poking fun at the whole matter of religion, and yet at the same time he tried to build a religion around himself. That is why he called himself Theos Epiphanes, which means The Evident Ged. Judea at the time was seething with unrest because the corrupt, Hellenized priests were at last being brought to book by a few of the pious Jews. It looked somewhat like a political uprising to Antiochus, and on his way home from a .campaign in Egypt he stopped in the middle of the bridge to attend to the trouble. He looted the Temple and then simply ordered Judaism to cease. Just that! Evidently he thought It would be quite easy for him to stamp out this obscure and, as he thought, very odd little religion. His orders were that never more should the Sabbath, or the rite of circumcision, or the difference between "clean and unclean food, be observed. Any person found with a Hebrew book in his possession was immediately to be put to death. Henceforth if there was to be any sacrificing it must be of swines flesh, and to Antiochus or Zeus as god. For a while starkest horror swept the land as the army of Antiochus began to put those orders into effect There were looting and murder, wailing and shame, as the minions of the Syrian tyrant tried to carry out his orders. An then, like the breaking out of a mad fire, the nation blazed into rebellion. HELLENISM Questions and Answers Q. Can a mother who is all alone and in poor health, have a son released from the Army if he has been in since Jan. 25, 1943, and in the South Pacific since June 19, 1943, and has never had a furlough?

If the case can be considered a hardship case release might be given, but each case must be decided upon its merits and be recommended by the commanding officer. If your son, however, has been in the army since the dates you give, he possibly has enough points for his discharge now, or at least in the very near future. Without points for battle stars or decorations, which count five each, he has approximately 63 points. He is eligible for application for discharge now at 70 points and the number is fixed at 60 points November 1. Q.
