What reading level is History of the Hebrew Commonwealth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the means by which God was purifying tliem for a great spiritual task; and that task was to mrdce God and his ser- vice known to all men. Religion became the chief end and occupation of life for many of the Jews, the true Israel })e- came a nation of priests, the state became a church, Israelit- ism became Judaism.
To be sure, all the, Jews in Babylonia did not experience this change. The fascination of the splendid ritual of Bel worship took some away; some married Babylonian wives and drifted... into heathenism; some became absorbed in busi- ness, and the growing pile of shekels hid from their sight THEIR RELIGIOUS TRANSFORMATION 261 gods of every kind. So the sifting process that began genera- tions before, even in EHjah's day, continued through the exile and after, until only the most intensely religious na- tures were left to form the Judaism of the latter days.
Fig. 123— hanging GARDENS OF BABYLON An imaginative reconstruction.
Built by Nebuchadrezzar to please his Median wife. Find the queen; the river Euphrates.
