Eleazar ben Yair:
My friends, they're going to wait until morning to come the rest of the way in. That is so we can see their dress parade and be terrified. The Romans, they love spectacle. 5,000 men against 900. That is a spectacle. Only this time the end will be different. They don't know that yet but the sun will teach them. They must camp down there where a lizard cannot live in summer, and summer is not far off. They must pack in their water from as far north as Jericho. We have water to spare. They will set up their catapults, their scaling ladders but the angle is too steep for the stones and an old woman or a small child can push a ladder down. Be proud, sleep well tonight. Where they march is where we want them to be.
