The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

VERS. I.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Lazarus.

SO in the Jerusalem Talmud, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 R. Lazar, for R. Eleazar. For in the Hieru∣salem dialect, it is not unusual in some words that begin with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Aleph, to cut off that letter: As.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 What saith the Master? for 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Bar Ba, for 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Bar abba.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Be R. Bon, for 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Be R. Abon.

So very frequently 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Lazar, for 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Eleazar.

a 1.1 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 R. Lazar Ben R. Jose.

b 1.2 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 R. Lazar Ben Jacob.

c 1.3 R. Lazar the Disciple of R. Chajia Rubba. Who also are sometimes called by their name not abbreviated.

d 1.4 R. Eleazar ben Jacob. * 1.5 R. Eleazar ben Jose.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Martha.

This name of Martha is very frequent in the Talmudick Authors. e 1.6 Isaac bar Samuel, bar Martha. f 1.7 Abba bar Martha, the same with Abba bar Minjomi. g 1.8 Joshua ben Gamla married 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Martha the Daughter of Baithus. She was a very rich Widow h 1.9.

She is called also 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Mary the Daughter of Baithus, with this story of her. i 1.10 Mary the Daughter of Baithus, whom Joshua ben Gamla married, he being preferred by the King to the High Priestood. She had a mind upon a certain day of expiation to see how her Husband performed his office. So they laid Tapestry all along from the door of her own House to the Temple, that her foot might not touch the ground. R. Eleazar ben R. Zadok saith. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 So let me see the consolation [of Israel] as I saw her bound to the tails of Arabian Horses by the hair of her head, and forced to run from Jerusalem to Lydda. I could not but repeat that Versicle, the tender and delicate Woman, in thee, &c. Deuter. XXVIII. 56.

k 1.11 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Martha the Daughter of Baisuth, (whether Baisuth and Baithus were convertible; or whether it was a mistake of the Transcriber, let him that thinks fit make the enquiry) whose Son was a mighty strong man among the Priests.
