    • 1852, Wesleyan-Methodist Magazine - Volume 75, page 478:
      In exponnding this phrase it might be amusing to rabbinise, repeating tales of the golden pot with manna, said to have been hidden at the first captivity, and reserved, according to Jewish expectation, until the times of the Messiah.
    • 1996, Gillian Rose, Mourning Becomes the Law: Philosophy and Representation, page 92:
      The Rabbis arrogated, that is, prophetic authority to themselves; 'the result was to “rabbinise” the prophets', developing a mode of exegesis which is strikingly silent on the virtual power and organization of their own invisible college.”
    • 2016, Louis Newman, Jewish Influence in Christian Reform Movements, page 516:
      Luther in great wrath, replied that Muenster was an out and out Judaizer, who followed the Rabbis too closely, whereby he “rabbinised”; even though Muenster was hostile to the Jews, nevertheless he would ruin the New Testament by his abominable "Judaisms."
