Nous désignâmes aussi, par la voie du sort, les prêtres, les Lévites et les gens du peuple chargés d’apporter l’offrande du bois au temple de notre Dieu, dans cette maison de nos ancêtres, année par année, à des époques déterminées, afin d’entretenir le feu sur l’autel de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, comme cela est prescrit dans la Thora.
The War of the Jews
4. After this he raised another disturbance, by expending that sacred treasure which is called Corban10This use of corban, or oblation, as here applied to the sacred money dedicated to God in the treasury of the temple, illustrates our Savior's words, Mark 7:11, 12. upon aqueducts, whereby he brought water from the distance of four hundred furlongs. At this the multitude had indignation; and when Pilate was come to Jerusalem, they came about his tribunal, and made a clamor at it. Now when he was apprized aforehand of this disturbance, he mixed his own soldiers in their armor with the multitude, and ordered them to conceal themselves under the habits of private men, and not indeed to use their swords, but with their staves to beat those that made the clamor. He then gave the signal from his tribunal [to do as he had bidden them]. Now the Jews were so sadly beaten, that many of them perished by the stripes they received, and many of them perished as trodden to death by themselves; by which means the multitude was astonished at the calamity of those that were slain, and held their peace.
