本文探討約瑟夫重寫亞干犯罪與艾城戰爭的故事。約書亞記七至八章交替記載這兩件事件。文中特別討論到:約瑟夫當時可接觸的經文文本、重組故事運用的技巧如何反映約瑟夫對該段經文的理解，以及藉著這段經文，他想向猶太人及外邦知識分子表達甚麼訊息。

ABSTRACT

This paper examines Josephus’ rewriting of the interwoven story of Achan’s theft and the battle(s) of Ai as told in Joshua chapter 7 to 8. The paper looks to such questions as the text-form(s) of Joshua chapter 7 to 8 available to Josephus, the re-writing techniques he applied to the Biblical account, and the purpose or effect of these, given his double audience, i.e. cultivated Gentiles and fellow Jews.
