And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
This verse came fresh from the fountain of eternal truth, and a divine hand has preserved its purity through the ages. It belongs to the most ancient and most comprehensive history possessed by men. It gives an authentic account of the origin of nations and a history of the human race unsullied by human pride or prejudice. It lights up the far-distant past where human research cannot penetrate and where human research seeks in vain to penetrate. It reveals the power that laid the foundations of the earth and stretched out the heavens.
