Alexander The Great And The Jews
Alexander the Great and the Jews
It is interesting how a man like Alexander the Great was moved by homage and religious ceremony:
QUOTE (LDS Bible Dictionary)[..] He made himself ruler over a wide empire stretching from Greece to the Indus, including Syria and Egypt. Josephus records a meeting between him and the high priest Jaddua (Neh. 12: 11, 22). This story is that Alexander was marching against Jerusalem when the high priest came to meet him in his robes of hyacinth and gold, and accompanied by a train of priests and citizens arrayed in white. Alexander was so moved by the solemn spectacle that he did reverence to the high priest, visited Jerusalem and conferred important privileges on the Jews.
