25 apr 164 anni a. C. - Battle of Beth Zur

Descrizione:

The Battle of Beth Zur was fought between the Maccabees led by Judah Maccabee and a Seleucid Greek army led by Viceroy Lysias in 164 BC.
Maccabee won the battle, and was able to recapture Jerusalem soon after. The Jews did not fight in open terrain, instead they used guerrilla and hit and run tactics to slowly beat back the Seleucid army and eventually rout it.

According to 1 Enoch chapters 83-90 (the Animal Apocalypse), the battle was joined on the side of the Maccabees by an angel who had been recording the event.

The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah ("Dedication") commemorates the restoration of Jewish worship at the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 164 BCE, after Judas Maccabeus removed all of the statues depicting Greek gods and goddesses and purified it.
