"In regard to Ps. cxxxvi. 15, the exegesis of our author is ingenious; but it will not bear the test of criticism. For example; in Exod. xiv. 27, it is said, 'And the Lord _overthrew_ the Egyptians, in the midst of the sea; where the Hebrew word answering to _overthrew_ is dgbz-r from váyna`ér from ní`ér. But in Ps. cxxxvi. 15, the very same word is applied to Pharaoh and his host; '_And he overthrew_ (váyna`ér) _Pharaoh and his host_. In both cases (which are exactly the same), the word ní`ér properly means, _he drave into_ (_hineintreiben, Gesenius_.) Now if the Lord _drave_ the Egyptians _into_ the midst of the sea, and also _drave_ Pharaoh and his host _into_ the midst of the sea, we cannot well see how Pharaoh escaped drowning. Accordingly, we find that such an occurrence is plainly recognized by Nehemiah ix. 10, 11, when, after mentioning Pharaoh, his servants, and his people, this distinguished man speaks of the 'persecutors of the Hebrews as thrown into the deep, as a stone in the mighty waters.' "As to any difficulties respecting _chronology_ in this case, about which M. Greppo seems to be principally solicitous, it may be remarked, that the subject of ancient Egyptian chronology is yet very far from being so much cleared up, as to throw any real embarrassments in the way of Scripture facts. More light will give more satisfaction--as in the famous case of the zodiacs, so finely described in the last chapter of M. Greppo's book." The fifth and sixth chapters of the work of Mons. Greppo, are devoted to the examination of the history of the Pharaohs mentioned in the sacred writings, down to the time of Solomon, and of the other kings of Egypt, who are distinguished by proper names. The seventh chapter is devoted to the chronology of Manetho, the official historiographer of Egypt; and several questions are discussed, which relate to the difference between him, and the scripture chronologers. In the close of the chapter, the author draws two conclusions, which we are disposed to think entirely justified by the present state of the investigations--these conclusions will be better stated in the author's own words:--
