1 Cf. the article Fate and Free Will in , Josephus, Moore, G. F., Harvard Theological Review, Oct. 1929Google Scholar.

2 Georgius Syncellus ascribes to Josephus a fuller form of the story. “In his fourteenth year he recognised and worshipped the God of the universe; he broke the idols of his father and burnt them with the house. His brother Haran was burnt with them in an attempt to put out the fire. Headmonished his father to abandon idolatry and the making of idols, as Josephus says.” Josephus says nothing of the kind in his extant works, and this part of the story is simply taken from Jubilees, which he has quoted earlier. The only detail taken from Josephus is that he taught the Egyptians astrology and arithmetic.
