| Title: Josephus' retelling of Genesis 34 Secondary Title: Studies in the Book of Genesis; Literature, Redaction and History. Pages: 599-605 Type: Book Section Year: 2001 Abstract: The article claims that Josephus retold the story to the gentile readers in order to address them about their prejudice on Jewish people. In particular, he dealt with the misconception about the Jewish way in dealing with other ethnic groups and the way that they forced others to circumcise. But Josephus also used it to remind the Jews to avoid unlawful marriage as well as the Zealot-like behavior of Levi and Simeon. Keywords: Genesis; Jewish Antiquities |
