Abstract
This current study has two important general implications for Josephan studies. First, it offers an additional factor that played into Josephus’ rewriting of the Bible. It is possible that he rewrote other biblical, or post-biblical, heroeswith his own experiences and his earlier self-portrayal in mind. Second, it demonstrates the importance of retaining the independence of Josephus’various works from one another. Such an examination can reveal evolutions in Josephus’ thought. To conclude this paper,I will elaborate on this last point–the evolution in Josephus’ though.
