| Title: The Temple experience of Jaddus in the Antiquities of Josephus. A report of Jewish dream incubation Secondary Title: JQR Volume: 83 Pages: 349-368 Type: Journal Article Year: 1992/1993 Abstract: "In Antiquities 11:326-328 Josephus described the dream experience of the high priest Jaddus in a manner reminiscent of dream incubation theophanies in the biblical tradition, especially that of Salomon in 1 Kings 3. In using the nuanced "biblical" mode of describing incubation dreams, Josephus could communicate that the Jews received divine direction under Jaddus without implying that God was manipulated to provide a revelation in the crisis posed by Alexander the Great 's advance upon Jerusalem. One might observe the same circumspect treatment of dream reports in Genesis 28,46; 1 Samuel 3; and 1 Kings 3, all of which of biblical dream incubation reports: intentional (1 Kings 3, Ant. 11.326-328), incidental unintentional (Genesis 45, 1 Samuel 3), and accidental unintentional (Genesis 28)".
