Excerpt from The ?dipus Judaicus
In speaking of the 12th verse of the 10th chapter of the Book of Joshua, I might have observed, that if the year be taken at 365 days, and if we suppose one day intercalated every fourth year, the meaning will come out more obviously. This one day was not admitted into the sacred, but into the astronomical, year of the egyptians. An ancient and anonymous writed gives us the following account" In templo Egypti Memphis, (lege Apidis Memphi) mos fuit slio regio decorari reges, qui regnabant. Ibi enim sacris initiabantur primum, ut dieitur, Reges, satis religiose tunicati: et Tauro, quem Apim apelant, jugum portare fas erat, - et per vicum unum duci.
