To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

These are intersected by rushing brooks andclear, crystal streams that descend from the heights above. The town layon a rounded hill about one-third of a mile in diameter that risesabruptly in a series of steep terraces. The Wady Malakeh encircled it onthe south and west. On the northeastern side, where lies the modern town, was a broad shoulder of land slightly lower and larger than the acropolis. In ancient times it was probably the site of the lower city. Deep, encircling valleys on the nort...h and east completed the natural defences ofthis border village that became the altar of Jewish freedom. To-day thescattered ruins of the acropolis are covered in spring-time with aluxuriant growth of grain and olive trees, making it one of the mostpicturesque mounds in Palestine.
It is surprising that the revolt against the cruel tyranny of Antiochuswas led by an aged priest. Like many priests, his home was outsideJerusalem. Evidently he was one of the chief men of Modein. He wasdescended from the family of Hasmon, hence his descendants, who ultimatelybecame the independent rulers of their race, are sometimes called theHasmonians.
