Huldah the
prophetess was one of the grandchildren of Rahab.

_Meggillah_, fol. 14, col. 2.

The last eight verses of the Law (Torah) were written by Joshua.

_Bava Bathra_, fol. 14, col. 1.

There is a touching story in this very same tract, fol. 15, col.
1, which is repeated in Menachoth, fol. 30, col. 1, and noticed
by Rashi in his commentary, to the effect that Moses himself
wrote the verses which record his own death at the dictation of
the Almighty. The account literally rendered is, "The Holy
One--blessed be He!--spake, and Moses wrote in tears."

There are eight sects of Pharisees, viz, these:--(1.) The shoulder
Pharisee, i.e., he who, as it were, shoulders his good works to be seen
of men. (2.) The time-gaining Pharisee, he who says, "Wait a while; let
me first perform this or that good work." (3.) The compounding Pharisee,
i.e., he who says, "May my few sins be deducted from my many virtues,
and thus atoned for" (or the blood-letting Pharisee, i.e., he who for

head toward the ground, that he wears the appearance of an inverted
mortar. (5.) The Pharisee who proudly says, "Remains there a virtue
which I ought to perform and have not?" (6.) The Pharisee who is so out
of love for the reward which he hopes to earn by his observances. (7.)
The Pharisee who is so from fear lest he should expose himself to
punishment. (8.) The Pharisee who is born so.

_Avoth d'Rab. Nathan_, chap. 37.

Both Talmuds as a rule enumerate only seven sorts of Pharisees
(T. Yerush, Berachoth, fol. 13, Soteh, fol. 20, T. Babli, fol.
22, col. 2, and elsewhere); but Rabbi Nathan, as above, adds a
new species to the genus. The freehand sketches of Pharisees
given in the Talmud are the reverse of complimentary. In the
words of the late E. Deutsch, who was a Talmudist of no mean
repute, "the Talmud inveighs even more bitterly and caustically
than the New Testament against what it calls the plague of
Pharisaism, 'the dyed ones,' 'who do evil deeds like Zimri, and
require a goodly reward like Phinehas,' 'they who preach
beautifully, but do not act beautifully.' Parodying their
exaggerated logical arrangements, their scrupulous divisions and
subdivisions, the Talmud distinguishes seven classes of
Pharisees, one of whom on
