I agree completely. No exception was made. I said I doubted this chapter was by the same hand as the others.
Are you saying there were some strictly Jewish interpolations on a text initially written by a Jewish Christian?
No. I am suggesting that a thoroughly Jewish text (basically what we have in the early going of chapter 11, was stuck into a Christian text and interpolated at a later time.
However, earlier Jewish texts being Christianized were fairly common, as I found out in the Dichache, a big chunk of 1 Clement, the Ascension of Isaiah, some books of Enoch, etc.

Agreed. And that is what I am suggesting here. It is just that I do not agree with you on exactly which parts were Jewish and which parts were Christian. I think, for example, that "where the(ir) Lord was crucified" is a Christian addition.

to Ben,
I notice you did not answer my question: did you read my page on Revelation?

Cordially, Bernard
I believe freedom of expression should not be curtailed

You always ask me this question, and the answer is always the same: yes, I read it, but it has been a while. In this case, however, I did go back and reread some of it on this topic.
