Now when the multitude had heard God himself giving those precepts
which Moses had discoursed of, they rejoiced at what was said; and the
congregation was dissolved: but on the following days they came to his
tent, and desired him to bring them, besides, other laws from God. Accordingly
he appointed such laws, and afterwards informed them in what manner they
should act in all cases; which laws I shall make mention of in their proper
time; but I shall reserve most of those laws for another work, 1
and make there a distinct explication of them.
1 This other work of Josephus, here referred to, seems to be that which does not appear to have been ever published, which yet he intended to publish, about the reasons of many of the laws of Moses; of which see the note on the Preface, sect. 4.
