[229] “They prophesied until the time of the evening oblation” (‎‏עֲלוֹת הַמִּנְחָה‏‎), 1 Kings xviii. 29. [230] An inspired prophet. [231] A five-thonged scourge, with iron at the extremity of each thong. [232] _The Sun and the Serpent_, pp. 99 f. (1905). [233] The feast of _Pesach_ (“Passover”) coincided with this; it was also a spring festival at which the firstlings of the herds were offered (Exod. xxxiv. 25). [234] _E.g._ 1 Kings viii. 2, xii. 32; Judg. xxi. 19; Lev. xxiii. 39, 41. [235] This is also true of the Targums, where an allusion to the dance is sometimes strikingly obvious, _e.g._ in the Targ. of _Onkelos_ to Deut. xvi. 14; the people are bidden to rejoice at their feasts with the playing of flutes; this was one of the most usual accompaniments to the sacred dance all the world over. [236] See Moore, _Judges_, pp. 304 f. (1903). [237] Cp. Judges ix. 27. [238] See _e.g._ Reinach, _Orpheus_, p. 273 (1909); Carl Rathjens, _Die Juden in Abessinien_, p. 78 (1921).
