Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Light on the Bible and the Holy Land: Being an Account of Some Recent Discoveries in the East The more the records of Assyria and Babylonia are studied, the more light they must throw on the history of the neighbouring nation of Israel. The small but fertile and wealthy district on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, intervening between the shores of Egypt and the harbours of Tyre and Sidon, was alternately, in the course of its history, overrun by the powerful nations which dwelt on each side of it: by the armies of the Nile, or by the warriors of the Tigris and Euphrates. On this account Syria, Samaria, and Judah are frequently mentioned in the written monuments of Nineveh and Babylon; and, on the other hand, the Hebrew literature teems with allusions to these great cities. But there was a closer connection than this between the races of Western and Eastern Syria, if we may once use the latter name in the wide sense sometimes given to it by ancient authors. The Hebrews originall proceeded from the plains of Chaldsea, according to the statements of their own historians; and the valley of the Euphrates was the cradle of their race.
