Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Illustrated History of the Holy Bible, as Comprised in the Old and New Testaments: Being a Connected Account of the Remarkable Events and Distinguished Characters Embraced in the Narratives of the Sacred Scriptures for the Period of Four Thousand Years, Including the Life of Christ and His Apostles
Whether the families of Canaan in mi grating to the country to which they gave his name, were headed by his sons, from whom they took their own distinguishing names, or removed after their deaths, does not by any means appear. The question does not seem of much importance, except as it might help to fix the time of the first occupation of the country and we allude to it merely that no forms of expression which we may incidentally use, should be con sidered to involve the expression of any Opinion on the subject. There is, however, sufficient evidence that the Canaanites had been a good while settled in the land, and we are repeatedly assured in Scripture that the Hittite city of Hebron was founded seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
