Lod, Lydda

VIEW:28 DATA:01-04-2020
LOD, LYDDA.—A town in the territory of Benjamin, not apparently of pre-Israelite origin, but built (1Ch_8:12), along with One, by the Benjamite Shemed (but Luthen and Auanau occur side by side in the lists of Thothmes iii.). Elsewhere it is mentioned only in the post-Captivity lists (Ezr_2:33, Neh_7:37; Neh_11:35); and in connexion with the healing of Æneas at this place (Act_9:32). Its inhabitants were enslaved by Cassius, and freed by Antony (Jos. [Note: Josephus.] Ant. XIV. xi. 2, xii. 2). Cestius Gallus burned it, and it afterwards surrendered to Vespasian (BJ. II. xix. 1, IV. viii. 1). In the Middle Ages it was the seat of a bishopric. It is a centre of the cultus of that strange being called by the Christians Saint George (to whom the church is dedicated), and by the Muslims el-Khudr—probably an ancient spirit of vegetation. It was known as Diospolis in the Byzantine period, but the dirty modern town which represents the ancient site retains the old name Ludd.
