Mais le partage du pays aura lieu par le sort; ils le recevront en propriété selon les noms des tribus de leurs pères. Trésor de l'Écriture 14,976,000 acres; which, divided among 600,000 men, will allow of more than Nombres 26:21 acres and a half to each, with a remainder of 1,976,000 acres for the princes of tribes, Levitical cities; so that there was an ample provision to enable each person, with all the advantages of that fertile country and fine climate, to live, if not in affluent, yet in very comfortable circumstances. Canaan lies between lat. 31 degrees and 33 degrees 30' north and long. 35 degrees and 37 degrees east; its length, from the city of Dan to Beersheba, is about 200 miles; and its breadth, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the eastern borders, about 90. The Canaanites, the descendants of Canaan, son of Ham, and the original inhabitants of the land, were divided into seven principal nations, the Amorites, Hittites, Jebusites, Girgashites, Canaanites, Perizzites, and Hivites, and formed themselves into almost as many kingdoms as they had cities. After their defeat by the Israelites, such as escaped the sword became tributary; but in process of time, having seduced them to their idolatries, they recovered many of the strongest places in the country; and even formed themselves into a mighty kingdom in Galilee. They were, however, again defeated by Barak, but were not finally subdued till the reign of David and Solomon; the latter of whom employed 153,600 in the most servile parts of the work of building the temple, palace, etc. Romains 11:7 1 Corinthiens 12:4 Links Nombres 26:55 Interlinéaire • Nombres 26:55 Multilingue • Números 26:55 Espagnol • Nombres 26:55 Français • 4 Mose 26:55 Allemand • Nombres 26:55 Chinois • Numbers 26:55 Anglais • Bible Apps • Bible HubVersion Louis Segond 1910 |
