SIXTH STUDY The Land of Palestine PART ONE We have followed the history of the Is'ra-el-ites to their encampment on the border of their promised land. Before taking up the study of their conquest of Ca'naan let us obtain some conception of the country with which the greater part of Bible history is connected--the land of Pal'es-tine. I. Let us notice its =Names= at different periods: 1. The earliest name was =Ca'naan=, "lowland," referring only to the section between the river Jor'dan and the Med-i-ter-ra'ne-an Sea, of which the inhabitants most widely known were the Ca'naan-ites, dwelling on the lowland plains (Gen. 12. 5). [Illustration: PALESTINE] 2. After the conquest by Josh'u-a it was called =Is'ra-el=, though in later times of Old Testament history the name referred only to the northern portion, the southern kingdom being called Ju'dah (Judg. 18. 1; 1 Kings 12. 20). 3. In the New Testament period its political name was =Ju-de'a=, which was also the name of its most important province (Mark 1. 5). 4. Its modern name is =Pal'es-tine=, a form of the word "Phi-lis'tine," the name of a heathen race which in early times occupied its southwestern border (Isa. 14. 29). II. The following are the principal =Dimensions= of Pal'es-tine: 1. =Ca'naan=, or western Pal'es-tine, has an area of about 6,600 square miles, a little less than Massachusetts. 2. =Pal'es-tine Proper=, the domain of the Twelve Tribes, embraces 12,000 square miles, about the area of Massachusetts and Connecticut. 3. The =Coast Line=, from Ga'za, the southernmost town, to Tyre, on the north, is not far from 140 miles long.
