Transcript | PHCENICIA AND LEBANON. " With these came they, who from the bordering flood Of old Euphrates, to the brook that parts Egypt from Syrian ground, had general names Of Baalim and Ashtaroth." " And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite." HASRLN, A MARON1TE VILLAGE Of North Lebanon, on the summit of a precipice on the south side of the gorge of the Kadisha (the sacred river). ^HIS ethnological record in the tenth chapter -*- of Genesis, the most ancient in existence, gives us the earliest account of the Phoenician aborigines. Hamath, on the north-east, and Accho (Acre), on the south-west, were the extreme borders of ancient Phoenicia. The Sidonians occupied the coast from Gebal, or Byblos, the modern Jebeil, on the north, as far as Accho, or Acre, on the south. One division of the Hivites occupied Shechem and Gibeon, and the other the chain of Anti- Lebanon from Baal Hermon to Hamath. The Arkites lived in the plain north of Lebanon, between the mountains of Akkar and the Nahr el Kebir, their name still remaining in the Tell and river of Arka. 62 |
