"Is he a prince, a noble, a prophet, or perhaps an ordinary hermit?" "He is a little boy, six years old, who asked Amon for nothing, he only thanked him for everything." "But dost Thou know where he dwells?" inquired the Chaldean. "I know, but I will not steal for my own use the virtue of his prayer.
The holy fathers, Mefres and Mentezufis, communicated to him other information which had come to them from Memphis: The Chaldean priest and miracle-worker, Beroes, was received in the subterranean parts of the temple of Set by the priest Osochar, who, when giving his daughter in marriage two months later, had presented her with rich jewels and bought a good estate for her and her husband.
He is here!" cried Jupheena. "Has he arrived?" asked the sick man, in faint accents. "Yea, father," replied Mathias, in soothing tones, "he has arrived." "Thanks be to Jehovah!" Presently, a man of venerable appearance, his hair silvered over with age, apparently a Chaldean, walked into the apartment. Jupheena was the first to greet him.
As early as Cato's time the Chaldean horoscope-caster had begun to come into competition with the Etruscan -haruspex- and the Marsian bird-seer; star-gazing and astrology were soon as much at home in Italy as in their dreamy native land. In 615 the Roman -praetor peregrinus- directed all the Chaldeans to evacuate Rome and Italy within ten days.
Now all the writers of barbarian histories make mention of this flood, and of this ark; among whom is Berosus the Chaldean.
It is the lighting up of the mist by the sun. Man cannot KNOW in any higher sense than this, any more than he can look serenely and with impunity in the face of the sun: "You will not perceive that, as perceiving a particular thing," say the Chaldean Oracles. There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey.
No, there is one thing and one only which distinguishes the Hebrew sacred writings from all others, and that is their insistent note of proletarian revolt, their furious denunciations of exploiters, and of luxury and wantonness, the vices of the rich. Of that note the Assyrian and Chaldean and Babylonian writing contain not a trace, and the Egyptian hardly enough to mention.
No great names have come down to us from the priests of Babylon or Egypt. No one gained an individual reputation. The Chaldean and Egyptian priests may have furnished the raw material of observation to the Greeks, but the latter alone possessed the scientific genius by which indigested facts were converted into a symmetrical system. The East never gave valuable knowledge to the West.
I will now relate what hath been written concerning us in the Chaldean histories, which records have a great agreement with our books in oilier things also. Berosus shall be witness to what I say: he was by birth a Chaldean, well known by the learned, on account of his publication of the Chaldean books of astronomy and philosophy among the Greeks.
We do not know who Job was, whether a Hebrew, an Arab, or Chaldean; nor just where "the land of Uz" was.
