Bible Myths and their Parallels in other Religions: Being a Comparison of the Old and New Testament Myths and Miracles with those of the Heathen Nations of Antiquity Considering also their Origin and Meaning
[92:5] Besides the many other facts which show that the Pentateuch was
not composed until long after the time of Moses and Joshua, the
following may be mentioned as examples: _Gilgal_, mentioned in Deut. xi.
30, was not given as the name of that place till _after_ the entrance
into Canaan. _Dan_, mentioned in Genesis xiv. 14, was not so called till
long _after_ the time of Moses. In Gen. xxxvi. 31, the beginning of the
reign of the kings over Israel is spoken of _historically_, an event
which did not occur before the time of Samuel. (See, for further
information, Bishop Colenso's Pentateuch Examined, vol. ii. ch. v. and
vi.)
