"I have undertaken the present work . . . for it will contain all our antiquities and the constitution of our government as interpreted out of the Hebrew Scriptures. And indeed I did formerly intend when I wrote of the war to explain who the Jews originally were -what fortunes they had been subject to -and by what legislature they had been instructed in piety and the exercise of other virtues -what wars also they had made in remote ages till they were unwillingly engaged in this last with the Romans. . ."-Flavius Josephus
