sails doth sail beyond the rivers of Ethiopia by whom the Prophet saith are sent ambassadors in ships of bulrushes such as the Ethiopians use commonly called Almadiae Bring back a people driven out of their countrey and torn and more miserable then any among us Gifts shall be brought to the Lord of Sebaoth in the place where the name of the Lord of Sebaoth is worshipped in the mount Sion The Prophet Zephany saith the same in Zeph. 3.9 10. Then will I give to the people that they speaking a pure language may all call upon the name of God whom they shall serve with reverence from beyond the rivers of Ethiopia they shall bring to me for a gist Hatray the daughter of my dispersed ones that is the Nations of Ethiopia Which agrees with that of Isa And your brethren which are the 10. Tribes shall bring gifts to the Lord. SECT XIX ANd without doubt they also dwell in Media from thence they passed Enphrates whither they were first brought as in 2 King 17.24 and in the book of Tobit Josephus also speaks of them in the Preface of his book of the War of the Jews that the Jews did think that their brethren who dwelt beyond Euphrates and farther would rebell against the Romanes Agrippa in his oration to the people of Jerusalem that they would not rebell against the Romanes speaks thus What associates do ye expect to joyn with you in your rebellion and war doth not all the known world pay tribute to the Romans Perhaps some of ye hope to have help from them beyond Euphrates And in lib. 2. Antiquit c. 5. speaking of those who in the time of Ezra returned from Babylon to Jerusalem he saith All Israel dwelt in Media for two Tribes only dwelt in Asia and Europe and lived subject to the Romans as the other ten on the other side Enphrates where they are so many that they cannot be counted It is not therfore to be doubted the people encreasing after their first transportation they sought out new places which we have formerly mentioned SECT XX. LAstly all think that part of the ten Tribes dwell beyond the river Sabbathion or sabbaticall Rabbi Johanan the Author of the Jerusalem Talmud who lived 160 years after the destruction of the 2d Temple saith in his treatise of the Sanhedrim ca. 17. That the 10. Tribes were carried into 3. places sc to the Sabbaticall river to Daphne the suburbs of Antioch and thither where a cloud comes down and covers them and that they shall be redeemed from those three places for so he opens that place of Isa Chap. 49.9 That they may say to the captives go forth sc to them who were at the Sabbaticall river to them that are in darknesse shew your selves sc to them who are compassed with the cloud and to all they shall be refreshed in the wayes sc to them who live in Daphne of Antioch which is in Syria Whence you may observe that the learned man l'Emperiur translated it ill at the sides of Antioch whereas Daphne is the proper name of a pleasant grove near Antioch Sedar olam makes mention of that cloud and cals them mountains of obscurity And in Talmud tractat Sanhedr c. 11. R. Jonathan ben Vziel who lived an hundred yeers before the destruction of the 2d Temple in Exod. 34.10 where the Lord saith I will do wonders before all thy people such as were never done in the whole earth or in any Nation c. and he refers all those things to the transportation of the people He shall draw them to the rivers of Babylon and shall carry them to the sabbaticall river and shall teach them that those miracles were never performed to any Nation of the known world Our ancient Rabbins in Beresit Rabba no mean book in Perasach do say that Tornunfus asking how it should appear that the day which we keep is the 7th day on which God rested after the Creation of the world Rabbi Aquebah who lived 52. yeers after the destruction of the 2d Temple answered by an argument taken from the stones of the Sabbaticall river which in the six dayes are tossed up and down with a continuall motion but do rest on the Sabbath day and move not The same is said in the Babylonian Talmud tractat Sanhed c. 7. in Tanuah Perasach c. 9. In eodem Beresit Raba in Perasach 37. Rabbi Simon saith The ten Tribes were carried to the Sabbaticall river but Juda and Benjamin are dispersed into all Countreys In Asirim Raba the last verse of the Song it s said Our bed is flourishing that it is meant the ten Tribes which were carried to the Sabbaticall river and that river running all the week doth cause the ten Tribes there remaining to be shut up for though on the 7th day the river doth rest yet it is forbidden by our Law to take a journey then and for that reason they remained there miraculously as lost and concealed from us So that of Isa 49. That they say to the prisoners go forth is interpreted of them in Jalcut R. Aquebah after the same manner explains that of Levit. 36.38 And ye shall perish among the heathen And that of Isa 27. ult and they shall come who were ready to perish in Assyria Because they are remote from the rest therefore another Rabbi in Bamibar Raba Parasa 16. applyes to them that of Isa 49.12 Behold them who come from far that so all those Authors mention that River The testimony of Josephus is famous lib. 7. de Bel. Jud. ca. 24. saying The Emperour Titus passing between Arca and Raphanea Cities of King Agrippa he saw the wonderfull River which though it be swift yet it is dry on every seventh day and that day being past it resumes its ordinary course as if it had no change and it always observes this order It is called Sabbaticall from the solemn feast of the Jews because it imitates their rest every seventh day I know some do otherwise expound those words of Josephus but they hit not his meaning as appears by this that he cals the River Sabbathio or sabbaticall which word cannot be derived but from Sabbath and who doth not see that it ceaseth to flow or move on the Sabbath day and so Josephus must be understood according to my sense Pliny also confirms this opinion lib. 1. Nat hist c. 2. he saith In Judea a river lyes dry every Sabbath yet I think Pliny is deceived and ill informed when he saith it is a river in Judea neither is it to be found in Judea but in another place where many Jews live R. Selomoh Jarchi who lived 540. yeers since mentions that River in Comment Talm. saying The stones and sand of that River do continually move all the six dayes of the week untill the seventh R. Mardochus Japhe in his learned book Jephe Thoar saith The Arabians derive Sabbathion from the Sabbath who use to adde the particle ion to adjectives The
