The majority lives In Nablus,
Jordan, near the ancient city
of Shechem. the National
Geographic Society says. About
150 live across the border in
Israel.
The plight of this sect seems
to fulfill Jeremiah's prophetic
lamentation: “How doth the
city sit solitary that was full
of people! how is she become
as a widow! she that was great
among nations, and princess u-
mong provinces. ...”
At one time in the Mid-
dle Ages only ten Samari-
tans were left. Till- number
In slowly increasing. High
Priest Aniran Isaac, pre-
sent ilay leader of the group
attributes the gain to
two factors: the conver-
sion of ontsiders marrying
into tin- community, and
tin- end of eenturies-long
persecution.
After the death of King
Solomon in Old Testament days,
t Israel was split into two parts.
I The northern section, encom-
passing Samaria, retained the
name Israel; the southern
state called itself Judah.
In 721 B. C., the Assyrians
swept down upon Israel.
Thousands of the ,-uling class
and craftsmen were carried
off. hut many farmers were
left behind. They IntermaTied
with the invaders. becoming
the forebearers of the modern
Samaritans.

When tlie exiles return-
ed 50 years luter, they
started rebuilding their
temple. Tlie Samaritans
offeretl to help, but Were
sternly rebuffed by the
Judeans who i|iiestloned
tlie racial and religious in-
tegrity of the Samaritans.
The Samaritans built a
rival temple on Mount Gerizlm,
near Shechem. and a long per-
iod of bitter conflict began.
Hy Christ's time, the Samari-
tans were thoroughly despised
by the Jews In telling the
parable of the Good Samari-
tan. Christ emphasized that
charity Is not the exclusive
property of the elect.
The Samaritans slowly evolv-
ed their own theology. and
have preserved their beliefs
through 2.500 years of hard-
ship. They have their own
calendar, and write in an alph-
abet resembling* ancient Phoe-
nician.
As their Bible, the Samari-
tans recognize only the Penta-
teuch. tlie* first five hooks of
the Old Testament, and reject
the remainder. They venerate
Moses ns the only true pro-
phet. and await a Messiah who
will convert all nations to
Samaritanisni.
“This nation carries nnt the
ancient customs according to
the Mosaic law as well as it
can.” High Priest Amrnn Isaac
has written, “and has always
offered the prit'er prayers to
the God of all creation that He
might keep them from all
harm, misfortune, and all
violence.”
Samix-itans are resigned,
however, to an ancient prophecy
In Deuteronomy: “Ye shall be
left few In number, whereas
ye were as the stars In heaven
for multitude.”
