10 ; instead of to them read to the Chinese. T. De L. 100 THE NETHINIM. THE NETHINIM. {Concluded from p. 71. ) Having reached the result that the I^ethinim could only trace their genealogy to women, the most probable conclusion as to their origin almos^ presents itself spontaneously. Men who could not trace their paternity attached to the Temple and yet degraded to the level of bastards — wh^ could the Nethinlm have been but tlie children of the Kedishoth or sacred prostitutes attached to the T...emple before the exile ? These were attached to the worship of Astarte and of Ashera, if these two are not identical (Baudissin, sub voce, in Herzog-Plitt). Now we know that the worship of Ashtoreth was introduced by Solomon (I. Kings xi. 5), and as the Temple was simply the Chapel Royal while the kingdom lasted, the rites of x^shtoreth were doubtless' performed in the Sanctuary. These rites may possibly explain the large number of his harem, and we can only account for the title nTobtl^ "'"Qi^ ^-^ given to some of the Nethinim by connecting it with this worship.
