What reading level is Josephus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

111. 271: [Greek: pasa de gaia sethenplaeres kai pasa thalassa] and Philo, De V. Mos. Ii. 126. ] [Footnote 2: Ant. IV. Vi 4. ] In the description of the death of Moses the same habit of enfeeblingthe majesty of the Biblical text to suit the current taste ismanifested. Moses weeps before he ascends the mountain to die. Heexhorts the people not to lament over his departure. As he is about toembrace Joshua and Eleazar, he is covered with a cloud and disappears ina valley, although he piously wrote... in the holy books that he died lestthe people should say that, because of his marvelous virtue, he wastaken up to God. For the last statement Josephus has the authority ofsome sages, who discussed whether the last verses of Deuteronomy werewritten by Moses himself. [1] [Footnote 1: Baba Batra, 15a. ] Josephus continues the Biblical narrative in less detail in the fifthbook, which covers the period of Joshua and the Judges and the firstpart of Samuel. The Book of Joshua is compressed into the limits of onechapter, but the exploits of each of the judges of Israel, with one ortwo omissions, are recounted in order, and the episode of Ruth isinserted after the story of Samson.
