Text Appearing Before Image:
and ethnarch wouldthen have officiated in a temple dedicated to theworship of Yahweh before the restoration ofthe Yahweh cult in .Jerusalem in December,B.C. 105. Onias not only had with him numerousemigrants who formed military colonies, butleft behind many sympathizers. This is evidentfrom Isaiah xix. 18-25. probably written in B.C.150, when .Jonathan sat by the side of AlexanderBalas, as he was married to Cleopatra. Herereference is made to five cities in Egypt oc-cupied by Hebiews, one of them called Leon-topolis (the city of the Lion), and to an altarand sacred stone (or tower. if the Word is readMizpah) at the border of Egypt, where theEgyptians are expected to offer sacrifices to Yah-weh. The feeling of the Greek translator towardLeontopolis is seen in his rendering the nameThe City of Righteousness. It has been sup-posed that the Sihi/lline Oraele.s (v. 492 seq.)refer to this temple, but that is probably wrong.Early regulations preserved in the Mishna ONIONS, OYSTER PLANT, ETC.

ONIASS TEMPLE. » (Menachoth xiii. 10) provide that a sacrificepromised to this temple should be offered there,and that priests of the temple should not losetheir priestly dignity or share of the offeringsif they came to Jerusalem. It is only after thedestruction of the temple, and especially byrabbis of the second and third centuries, thatthe cult there was condemned (Menachoth, 109b). After the fall of Jerusalem in a.d. 70 itseems to have enjoyed such favor that theRomans had reason to fear it, and after a.d. 72Lupus closed it, and some time later, possiblyA.D. 75, Paulinus destroyed it (Bel. Jud., vii.10, 2-4). Josephus states that it had then stood343 years. This is no doubt an error for 243,which would place its consecration as a Yahwehsanctuary in B.C. 168.
