Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Documents of the Book of Ezra
Finally, Stade and others have objected to ver. 10f. As betraying a Jewish view-point. But, as Meyer points out, the following are positive results of historical study that the great world-rulers of antiquity had sacrifices made for them at the shrines of the national cults, Jerusalem among the rest, and that the Persian kings were preeminent in this respect; that the sanctuary-privi. Leges and inviolable sanctity of those shrines were respected by the governing powers, and offenses against them were most severely punished; and finally, that the punishment of impaling here threatened, was a genuinely Persian form of meting out justice or injustice as the case might be.
