Jeremiah 7 and Flavius Josephus on the First Jewish War

Study of Josephus' interpretation of the Bible has focused on the paraphrase in Antiquities, but Josephus continued to engage Scripture in his post-biblical history. This article contends that Josephus, like the authors of the synoptic gospels and later Jewish exegetes, saw the events of 66-70 C.E. through the lens of Jeremiah's temple sermon (7:1-34). The accounts of Jesus ben Ananias and Josephus' speech before the city walls, among other examples, show recourse to Jeremiah 7.
