This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ...Gen. X, 13; and a son of Shem, Gen. X, 22, and if these two passages in the genealogical tables are of different dates, they may refer to the same people in Arabia. Glaser (Skizze 333-337) believes Put to be a W. Arabian people, S. of Jebel Shammar, and N. of the Minaeans. He identifies them with Budaa or Putaa of the Esarhaddon inscriptions, in the land of Bazu or Buz (cf. Gen. XXII, 21-22), and with Puta of the Naqs-i-Rustam inscription of Darius. Cush, Put and Ludim were auxiliaries of Pharaoh Necho against Nebuchadrezzar (Jer. XLVI, 9); Glaser suggests the use of "Cush" in Arabia to denote foreign influence, especially Persian, which grew notably before the Persian conquest of Babylon. In Isaiah (LXVI, 19) Tarshish, Put and Lud appear together as men "that draw the bow." This is a late text in which, as in 1 Kings X, 21-22 and II Chron. IX, 20-21, Tarshish intrudes apparently in substitution for some Arabian tribe, or perhaps for. Persians. It seems probable that these three names all refer to central Arabia; that the Ophir voyages were undertaken to avoid the unsafe conditions on the caravan routes which they vaguely suggest, and that they were discontinued after the resumption of normal conditions in Arabia. MEN OF WAR: ships had fighting men aboard for defence, and galleries outside the rowers' benches where they were stationed; there were deck structures for bowmen and casters of javelins; hence this section, criticized by some as concerned with land operations and outside the "ship" allegory, is quite in order. Cf. Layard, Monuments of Nineveh, II pi. 71, for illustrations. Cf. also the shields and targets of the house of the forest of Lebanon, 1 Kings X, 16-17. HELECH: cf. Jer. XV, 13; Chalkis W. of Damascus (so Winck...
