And he took a wife whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelkios, a very beautiful woman and one fearing the Lord. And her parents were righteous and taught their daughter by the Law of Moses. Now Jehoiakim was very rich, and he had a garden adjacent to his house, and they brought to him the Judeans, because he was more honored than all. Then two elders from the people were appointed as judges in that year, about which the Lord spoke, "Because lawlessness came from Babylon, from elder judges, who seemed to guide the people." And judges would come from other cities to them. These saw a woman graceful in appearance, a wife of their kinsman among the sons of Israel, with the name of Susanna, daughter of Chelkios, wife of Jehoiakim, walking about in the garden of her husband during the ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/synagogues/Ancient-Synagogue-Archeological-Literary-Sources-Bible-Jesus-Israel-Judea-diaspora-first-century-oldest-pre70AD-Susanna-apocryphal-judgment-court-trial-100bc.htm | Size: 55K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

The Hebrew Jerusalem temple had animal sacrifices and special "ordained" high priests in a system of clericalism based upon pedigree. Like the dynasty of Judean Kings and scribes, the High priest had to trace his parentage back to Levi though specific genealogical records. There are many examples in the Bible of the general population rejecting the successor in prophetic and kingly dynasties. Both Eli and Samuel's children were worthless and the people rejected Samuel's sons on moral basis. 1 Samuel 2:22; 1 Samuel 8:1-5 b.

Others have summarized the main outlines of the legal position.8 In 64 B.C.E. the Senate prohibited all collegia on principle because of their danger to the state as private institutions.9 It was characteristic of the political and social turbulence of the period that in 58 B.C.E., during the First Triumvirate, collegia were permitted again, and that in 56 B.C.E. the Senate again dissolved political clubs, a specific class of collegia. A few years later (sometime between 49 and 44 B.C.E.), Julius Caesar prohibited all collegia Empire-wide except the most ancient.

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.

The global distribution of the Septuagint was the engine that spawned the birth of Synagogues as a part of God's eternal plan to create a bridge between temple worship and the Christian Church. Introduction: 1. Although Ptolemy II wanted the Jewish scriptures translated into Greek in 282 BC for his father's (Ptolemy I) famous Library of Alexandra, the local Jews quickly made copies and started to gather to read the "Bible for themselves" and of course pray. The very first synagogue in the world was started when a small group of very excited Jews agreed to gather together in someone's home to pray and read the Greek Tanakh, which at this point consisted only of the first five books of Moses. The first and oldest word for a synagogue is the Greek word, "proseuche" and it means "house of prayer". The first synagogues were in "houses" (ie. HOUSE of prayer).
