Two time periods have been put forward and defended as the most probable time of composition: the Seleucid period and the Roman period. [3] The Seleucid period proposals include the very beginning of the Maccabean Revolt (165 or 164 BCE), the height of Jonathan's military power (143 BCE), and the reign of John Hyrcanus (135–104 BCE).
