But they had not learned that their Sabbath was a blessing, and not a bondage. So they kept the day, but they kept it under terror. They began to in- vent new laws concerning it. The comprehen- sive law of Moses, which insisted simply and broadly, that on this day every one should have the right to rest, was thought to be insufficient. Stricter and stricter were the lines of obliga- tion drawn, till, a little while before the time of our Saviour, during the progress of the Macca- bean wars, a t...housand Jews, brave but mis- taken men, were slain without resistance on the Sabbath day, because the superstitious rigor which had grown up since the captivity made them think it unlawful to defend themselves. ^ ^ Neh. X. 31 ; xiii. 15, 22. ^ I Mace. Ii. 38 ; and Josephus' Antiquities, B. Xii. , ch. Vi. 2. Use and Abuse of the Jeioish Sabbath. 167 Such a thing could scarcely have occurred in the time of Moses.
