During their reign, the first Halchaic controversy arose in Judaism. Yose ben Yoezer was a Kohen, renown for his great righteousness in the laws of purity. He was executed by the Greeks and their Hellenist followers during the period preceding the Macabeen revolt. His students were Yehoshua ben Prachya and Neti Harbeli. |

As he was being led to his death, his nephew Yakim Ish Tzroros a leading Hellenist, came to taunt him. Riding on a fancy horse he called out to his uncle "Look at the horse my master has given me and look at the horse your master has given you". Yose ben Yoezer replied that if this was the reward of the evil, certainly the righteous would be rewarded. Yakim continued, pointing out that no one in the generation had served G-D more then Yose ben Yoezer and yet he was about to be executed. His uncle responded saying, if this was the fate of the righteous, certainly the wicked would face an awful punishment. These words penetrated the heart of Yakim Ish Tzroros and he repented by committing suicide, killing himself in a way where he underwent all four death penalties used by Bais Din. |
