About Joseph Cabi ben Simon, High Priest

Joseph Cabi ben Simon was a Herodian-era High Priest of Israel in Jerusalem, Iudaea Province, appointed (and deposed) by Herod Agrippa II.

“ . . . the king [Agrippa] . . . gave the high priesthood to Joseph, who was called Cabi, the son of Simon, formerly high priest. And now Caesar, upon hearing the death of Festus, sent Albinus into Judea, as procurator. But the king deprived Joseph of the high priesthood, and bestowed the succession to that dignity on the son of Ananus, who was also himself called Ananus.”
