The Demand for Cattle Sample Clauses

The Demand for Cattle. The term Aoĩç 2:14 can refer to a bull, a cow, or an ox and is often found in the collective neuter or plural. Cattle, though primarily used for farming (e.g., Sir 182 Philo describes the pilgrimage experience as one of cheerfulness and rest (Spec. Laws 1.69–70; cf. Ant. 15.50). Perhaps an implied component of such a description is the feasting and attendant spending mentioned more explicitly by Josephus. 183 For a description of sacrificial practices in the Jerusalem temple in the first century, see Sanders, Judaism, 103–18. 184 Ådna, Jerusalemer Tempel, 119–39. 38:25–26; cf. b. Naz. 31b), were an acceptable temple sacrifice (Lev 1:3–9).185 But of the three animals listed in John 2:14, cattle were the least in demand because of their high cost. Even so, animal merchants must have found it profitable to supply some cattle for purchase as sacrifices. Someone who opted to purchase cattle would have paid handsomely, as purchasing cattle for sacrifice was a marker of high status and prestige and may have been done on a grand scale to mark special occasions.186 Moreover, each month at the new moon two Aóaç were offered (Ant. 3.237–38), keeping the demand consistent, if not extraordinarily so. Among the pilgrimage 185 S. Applebaum writes, “The ox and the cow were valued first and foremost as plough animals, and the Jewish sages would have concurred with Hesiod that the ox is the farmer’s best friend. But the need of sacrifices must have been a permanent incentive to run cattle and sheep for sale in Jerusalem” (“Economic Life in Palestine,” 1.2:655). Commentating on agricultural practice in 200–400 C.E. Palestine, Ze’ev Safrai states, “It is likely that the average farmer had at least a cow or ox for agricultural purposes and perhaps even a donkey”(Economy of Roman Palestine, 168; cf. ibid., 173). 186 According to Philo, members of the embassy to Gaius claim to have offered “entire hecatombs” on behalf of Gaius on three special occasions (on Gaius’s succession to the empire, on his recovering from a serious disease, and in hopes of his being victorious in battle with the Germans) (Embassy 356). Josephus reports that to celebrate the rebuilding of the temple, Herod sacrificed three hundred head of cattle (Aoĩç); the others present also offered sacrifices, “everyone according to his ability” (Ant. 15.422). Augustus’s son-in-law Marcus Agrippa offered a hecatomb (100 cattle) as part of his visit to Jerusalem (Ant. 16.14). Though Josephus’s numbers are suspect, that ...

  • Why did I get this Notice This is a court-authorized notice of a proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit, XxXxxxx, et al. v. Veriff, Inc., No. 2021L001202, pending in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois before the Xxx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx. The Settlement would resolve a lawsuit brought on behalf of persons who allege that Veriff, Inc., collected individuals’ biometrics in Illinois through its identity-verification technology without first providing the individuals with legally-required written disclosures and obtaining written consent. If you received notice of this Settlement, you have been identified as someone who, at some time between November 12, 2016 and [Preliminary Approval], had biometrics collected, captured, purchased, received through trade, possessed, retained or otherwise obtained while in Illinois by Veriff or its technology for the purposes of identity verification, and whose identity was verified. The Court has granted preliminary approval of the Settlement and has conditionally certified the Settlement Class for purposes of settlement only. This notice explains the nature of the class action lawsuit, the terms of the Settlement, and the legal rights and obligations of the Settlement Class Members. Please read the instructions and explanations below so that you can better understand your legal rights. WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT? The Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”), 740 ILCS 14/1, et seq., prohibits private companies from capturing, obtaining, storing, transmitting, and/or using the biometric identifiers and/or information, such as scans of face geometry, of another individual for any purpose without first providing them with certain written disclosures and obtaining written consent. This lawsuit alleges that Defendant violated BIPA by collecting or capturing the scans of face geometry of individuals through identity verification technology in Illinois without first providing the requisite disclosures or obtaining the consent required by BIPA. Defendant contests these claims, denies that it collected or possessed facial biometrics or any other information subject to BIPA, and denies that it violated BIPA. WHY IS THIS A CLASS ACTION? A class action is a lawsuit in which an individual called a “Class Representative” brings a single lawsuit on behalf of other people who have similar claims. All of these people together are a “Class” or “Class Members.” Once a Class is certified, a class action Settlement finally approved by the Court resolves the issues for all Settlement Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Settlement Class. WHY IS THERE A SETTLEMENT? To resolve this matter without the expense, delay, and uncertainties of litigation, the Parties have reached a Settlement, which resolves all claims against Defendant and its affiliated entities. The Settlement requires Defendant to pay money to the Settlement Class, as well as pay settlement administration expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs to Class Counsel, and Incentive Awards to each of the Class Representatives, if approved by the Court. The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Defendant and does not imply that there has been, or would be, any finding that Defendant violated the law. The Court has already preliminarily approved the Settlement. Nevertheless, because the settlement of a class action determines the rights of all members of the class, the Court overseeing this lawsuit must give final approval to the Settlement before it can be effective. The Court has conditionally certified the Settlement Class for settlement purposes only, so that members of the Settlement Class can be given this notice and the opportunity to exclude themselves from the Settlement Class, to voice their support or opposition to final approval of the Settlement, and to submit a Claim Form to receive the relief offered by the Settlement. If the Court does not give final approval to the Settlement, or if it is terminated by the Parties, the Settlement will be void, and the lawsuit will proceed as if there had been no settlement and no certification of the Settlement Class.
