March 17, 1887 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Geschichte des Volkes Israel," by Bernhard von Stade. The book shows that the Israelites possessed no distinct and positive historical recollections reaching back beyond the time of the settlement in western Palestine. Moreover the book informs that, Israel was the first Transjordanic Hebrew clan that gained possessions, west of the river. Living among the Canaanites, they partly blended with them. Intermarriages prevailed. The sacred places of Canaan became sanctuaries of Israel. In all other matters of culture the Israelites learned from the cities of Canaan; in the worship of Jehovah they remained faithful to their own traditions and customs.
