The Name Machabee (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Name Machabee

There is a peculiar charm in the study of the earlier Hebrew names arising from the artless character of the people, which led them to make their children the remembrancers of their joys and their sorrows, their failures and their successes. Indeed in this respect the several crises of the Jewish history are marked by the same phenomena as its beginning, so that a single name sometimes supplies a missing link, and gives a hint of the popular feeling which otherwise would be entirely wanting.
