5. ^ See p. Xv, note 3. 80 THE BOOKS OF MOSES July, 409), the Egyptian priests of Elephantine come to terms with the local authorities. " The sanctuary of the god Jahveh must be removed from the city of Elephantine, " they say. And the temple of Elephantine is rased to the ground. What do the priests of the ruined temple do ? They petition the Persian governor ; and at the same time they appeal to the high-priest at Jerusalem for his intercession. The priests of Elephantine do not regard themse...lves as schismatics in 409. It is a fresh proof that the Deutero- nomic law was not known to the Jews of Elephantine in 409. We have just seen that in 419-418 the government which ruled at Jerusalem had sent them a regulation for the celebration of the Passover. What reply does the high-priest of Jerusalem make in 409 ? He does not reply at all. Is his silence due to negligence or hostility ? We shall see. Three years pass, and, in the month of Marchshvan, the year 17 of King Darius (that is to say, in November, 406), the Jews of Elephantine make a fresh appeal to the Persian governor.
