| 4: | Acapella Responsive Singing, No Instruments in first century ... Synagogue worship was the prototype for Christian Church. Introduction: 1. Synagogue worship at the time of Jesus' birth was acapella, antiphonal, responsive with no instruments. 2. Instrumental music was banned in all synagogues in the first century before 70 AD and the early church continued this ban to the present time. 3. Congregational singing is explicitly authorized while instruments are not: a. Col 3:16 and Eph 5:19 were letters to be read while in the assembly: "When this letter is read among you, have it also read ***in the church*** [while assembled] of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea." (Colossians 4:16). Also both are "one another" passages where you "speaking to one another in song" and "teaching and admonishing one another in song". This can only be collective worship on the first day of the week when Christians are assembled for the Lord's supper and the weekly collection. b.

| 5: | Ancient Synagogue Literary Sources: Tosefta 250 AD Alexandria has never seen the great glory of Israel. It is something like a large colonnade with porches within porches, and accommodating sometimes double the number of those that followed Moses from Egypt. There were seventy-one golden chairs therein, corresponding to the seventy-one elders, and each of the chairs was worth twenty-five myriad talents of gold. In the centre was a wooden dais, and the sexton stood upon it with a scarf (as a flag) in his hand. At the close of each benediction he waved the scarf, and all the people answered Amen. The people were not seated together anyhow, but the goldsmiths were by themselves, the blacksmiths by themselves, the embroiderers by themselves ; so that when a poor man came in he joined himself to his fellow tradesmen, and in this way was enabled to obtain a means of livelihood.

Synagogues originated in 280 BC at Alexandria, Egypt as a direct result of Ptolemy II translating the Hebrew Torah in the Greek Septuagint.

The present inscription is the only one of its kind from the land of Israel. However, it has not been established whether the structure is in fact a synagogue (Foerster), or if the Jews mentioned donated a non-Jewish temple to Graeco-Roman inhabitants of the area (Kohl and Watzinger; Fine). The fact that a Jewish community could donate a temple to non-Jews should not surprise us, since non-Jewish donations of synagogues to Jewish Diaspora communities are well attested (cf. No. 103, Julia Severa). Modem religious sensitivities should not be applied to ancient social systems of benefaction. Until further excavations can determine the nature of the edifice, it seems best to understand the remains as belonging to a non-Jewish temple."

"Could there have been a conscious aversion to imitating what was being done in contemporary synagogues-yet another expression of the Qumran sect's desire to maintain biblical precedents while rejecting models that had evolved within the Jewish community in the post-biblical era?

The only certain date known from his life comes from his account of the great pogrom in Alexandria which started in A.D. 38 under the prefect Flaccus, during the reign of the Roman emperor Gaius Caligula. Philo was then chosen to head a delegation (Gaium 370) sent in A.D. 39/40 by the Jewish community to Gaius Caligula in Rome. A few other datable events are found in his writings. In Alexander, or Whether the Animals Have Reason (Anim) 27, Philo speaks of the celebrations in various places given by Germanicus Iulius Caesar, probably in A.D. 12, when he entered on his first term of consulship. The horse race account in Anim 58 is found also in Pliny HN 8:160-61, where the event is said to have occurred during the games of Claudius Caesar in A.D. 47.

| 28: | Book of Jeremiah: Bible textual variants analysed Jeremiah probably wrote 2 different inspired versions of Jeremiah. There are 2700 more words in the Masoretic Jeremiah than there are in the Septuagint Jeremiah. The two texts have all the earmarks of being "synoptic" versions of the same material. Three Jeremiah scrolls were found in Cave 4 at Qumran. Two (4Q70a, 4Q72 Jerc) follow the Masoretic and a third (4Q71b) validate the shorter Septuagint version because Jer 10:6-8, 10 is found in the Masoretic (MT) but absent in both the Septuagint and the scroll pictured here (4Q71 b). Around 225 BC the Septuagint translators used the shorter Hebrew Jeremiah rather than the longer one. The key point is that both the longer and shorter books of Jeremiah not only co-existed, they were considered equally authoritative as inspired scripture. The three scrolls found in the cave had no signs of marginal corrections or notes where the obvious differences were in the two texts.
