4. =Lud.= This is believed by most scholars to refer to the _Lydians_, who dwelt on the southwestern border of Asia Minor, and under their king, Croesus, became a powerful nation. Their history was short, as their empire was conquered by Cyrus the Great. 5. =Aram.= This is the word uniformly rendered _Syria_ throughout the Bible. The Arameans, or Syrians, occupied the region between Canaan and Phoenicia, on the east, the Euphrates on the north, and the great desert on the west and south. Four branches of this race formed separate tribes. _Uz_, the race of the ancient Job, was settled in the middle of North Arabia, near Nejd. _Hul_ and _Gether_ are supposed (but with slight evidences) to have occupied the country near Lake Merom, where the _Geshurites_ were afterward found. _Mash_, or, as called in 1 Chron. 1:17, _Meshech_, may have merged with the Meshech of the Japhetic line. [Illustration: OUTLINE MAP FOR REVIEW.] OUTLINE FOR TEACHING. 1. The principal authorities for the map on page 24, and its explanations, are: "Ethnic Affinities," by Canon George Rawlinson; E. H. Browne, in "The Speaker's Commentary"; J. G. Murphy's "Notes on Genesis"; Dillmann, "Commentary on Genesis"; and "The Races of the Old Testament," by A. H. Sayce. To these the student is referred for more thorough discussion of the subject. 2. In teaching, draw on the blackboard a sketch map (no matter how roughly) of the outlines of the coast, as given above, and then write on each place the name of the people occupying it. Take, first, the great divisions of Noah's family; then, the subdivisions; then, the minor tribes. Review the locations as each family is finished. Write on the board only the first syllable of each name, as an aid to memory, as _Ar_ for _Arphaxad_, _Cu_ for _Cush_, etc. If the names of each of the three great races are written in chalk of a different color, it will make the distinctions more readily understood. 3. If practicable, by means of a duplicating process, print a sufficient number of copies of the sketch map to supply the class or audience, and let each person, with pencil, place on the map the names of the tribes as they are located. This will greatly add to the interest of the lesson. [Transcriber's Note: This family tree was originally one tree. It was separated into families to accommodate size issues.] REVIEW CHART--THE TABLE OF NATIONS.
