In the second Urantia Foundation printing, "Maccabeus" was replaced by "Maccabee." The latter form is used in the other occurrences of the word in the Urantia papers, but as both forms are acceptable (the former being a more accurate transliteration of the Greek), it seems unnecessary to conform the spellings.

Original Paragraph:

^{P1817:3, 165:0.3} Perea at this time was about equally gentile and Jewish, the Jews having been generally removed from these regions during the times of Judas Maccabeus. Perea was the most beautiful and picturesque province of all Palestine. It was generally referred to by the Jews as "the land beyond the Jordan."
