Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am obliged to you for the draught of the Hebrew coin you sent me. Selden takes notice of it. Lib. ii. de Jure Naturali Gentium secundum Hebraeos., cap vi. Both he & Spanheim think it to be inferioris oevi; the former that it has been even the work of a Christian, from a crosse, as he takes it to be, at the end of the word Mosheh, which yours exhibits as an A upon the collar of the head. In my mind it cannot be read Messiah unctus, that word terminating in h, not a. The interpretation of the reverse is Non erunt tibi Dii alieni coram me. The Jews, after their return from Babylon, were so prodigiously afraid of idolatry that they would not suffer the least representation of any human figure, as is plain from Josephus, & were cautious in that respect, even to ridiculousness ; so that I cannot think this was coined under the Asmonean kings — perhaps Herod might strike it, who was not so scrupulous as his predecessor.' (Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1, p. 456; Burnett 2020b, p. 398)
