With the unconsciously aid of superb this fifthcentury evidence, we can consciously understand any more clearly the situation fact that arose fm. the letter of Jeremiah (44) almost to the Judean communities in Egypt, and fm. promising persistently debate . The Judeans, and particularly their women, opposed a little a the great prophet each of which ordered the absolute cessation of the cult of the ‘Lady of Heaven’ such that as with guard against a little a dangerous shining a real trial.
