[23] Cf. J. G. Frazer, _Adonis, Attis, Osiris_ (1907), p. 67: "Prophecy of the Hebrew type has not been limited to Israel; it is indeed a phenomenon of almost world-wide occurrence; in many lands and in many ages the wild, whirling words of frenzied men and women have been accepted as the utterances of an in-dwelling deity. What does distinguish Hebrew prophecy from all others is that the genius of a few members of the profession wrested this vulgar but powerful instrument from baser uses, and by wielding it in the interest of a high morality rendered a service of incalculable value to humanity. That is indeed the glory of Israel...." [24] The use which was made in Apocalyptic literature of the traditions of Moses, Isaiah and others finds its analogy within the Old Testament itself; cf. the relation between the present late prophecies of Jonah and the unknown prophet of the time of Jeroboam II. (see § 13, note 5). To condemn re-shaping or adaptation of this nature from a modern Western standpoint is to misunderstand entirely the Oriental mind and Oriental usage. [25] The condemnation passed upon the impetuous and fiery zeal of the adherents of the new movement (cf. Hos. i. 4), like the remarkable vicissitudes in the traditions of Moses, Aaron and the Levites (qq.v.), represents changing situations of real significance, whose true place in the history can with difficulty be recovered. [26] Formerly thought to be the third of the name. [27] Perhaps Judah had come to an understanding with Tiglath-pileser (H. M. Haydn, _Journ. Bib. Lit._, xxviii. 1909, pp. 182-199); see UZZIAH. [28] The fact that these lists are of the kings of the "land Hatti" would suggest that the term "Hittite" had been extended to Palestine. [29] So K. Budde, _Rel. of Israel to Exile_, pp. 165-167. For an attempt to recover the character of the cults, see W. Erbt, _Hebräer_ (Leipzig, 1906), pp. 150 sqq. [30] See G. Maspero, _Gesch. d. morgenländ. Völker_ (1877), p. 446; E. Naville, _Proc. Soc. Bibl. Archaeol._ (1907), pp. 232 sqq., and T. K. Cheyne, _Decline and Fall of Judah_ (1908), p. 13, with references. [The genuineness of such discoveries is naturally a matter for historical criticism to decide. Thus the discovery of Numa's laws in Rome (Livy xl. 29), upon which undue weight has sometimes been laid (see Klostermann, _Der Pentateuch_ (1906), pp. 155 sqq., was not accepted as genuine by the senate (who had the laws destroyed), and probably not by Pliny himself. Only the later antiquaries clung to the belief in their trustworthiness.--(_Communicated._)] [31] Both kings came to the throne after a conspiracy aimed at existing abuses, and other parallels can be found (see KINGS).
