Hebron (Israel) (search for this): book 2, section 1
AFTER the death of Isaac, his sons divided their habitations respectively;
nor did they retain what they had before; but Esau departed from the city
of Hebron, and left it to his brother, and dwelt in Seir, and ruled over
Idumea. He called the country by that name from himself, for he was named
Adom; which appellation he got on the following occasion : - One day returning
from the toil of hunting very hungry, (it was when he was a child in age,)
he lighted on his brother when he was getting ready lentile-pottage for
his dinner, which was of a very red color; on which account he the more
earnestly longed for it, and desired him to give him some of it to eat:
but he made advantage of his brother's hunger, and forced him to resign
up to him his birthright; and he, being pinched with famine, resigned it
up to him, under an oath. Whence it came, that, on account of the redness
of this pottage, he was, in way of jest, by his contemporaries, called
Adom, for the Hebrews call what is red Adom;

Now the sons of Noah were three, - Shem, Japhet, and Ham, born one
hundred years before the Deluge. These first of all descended from the
mountains into the plains, and fixed their habitation there; and persuaded
others who were greatly afraid of the lower grounds on account of the flood,
and so were very loath to come down from the higher places, to venture
to follow their examples. Now the plain in which they first dwelt was called
Shinar. God also commanded them to send colonies abroad, for the thorough
peopling of the earth, that they might not raise seditions among themselves,
but might cultivate a great part of the earth, and enjoy its fruits after
a plentiful manner. But they were so ill instructed that they did not obey
God; for which reason they fell into calamities, and were made sensible,
by experience, of what sin they had been guilty: for when they flourished
with a numerous youth, God admonished them again to send out colonies;
but they, imagining the prosperity they enjo

Now when Jacob's sons were come into the land of Canaan, they told
their father what had happened to them in Egypt, and that they were taken
to have come thither as spies upon the king; and how they said they were
brethren, and had left their eleventh brother with their father, but were
not believed; and how they had left Symeon with the governor, until Benjamin
should go thither, and be a testimonial of the truth of what they had said:
and they begged of their father to fear nothing, but to sen her bring his son back to him safe,
or, together with his, lose his own life." So that Jacob was at length
persuaded, and delivered Benjamin to them, with the price of the corn doubled;
he also sent presents to Joseph of the fruits of the land of Canaan, balsam
and rosin, as also turpentine and honey. Of
the precious balsam of Judea, and the turpentine, see the note on Antiq.

was no returning into Egypt unless they came with what they had promised.
Now the misery growing every day worse, and his sons begging it of him,
he had no other course to take in his present ey might find their
father well, and no way afflicted with grief for them. And this lamentation
lasted a whole day; so that the old man was at last tired with grief, and
staid behind; but they went on their way for Egypt, endeavoring to mitigate
their grief for their present misfortunes, with the hopes of better success
hereafter.
Noah (Arizona, United States) (search for this): book 1, section 113
Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt
of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of
great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as
if it was through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was
their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed
the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the
fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power.
He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown
the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters
to be able to reach! and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying
their forefathers !
