See my _Races of the Old Testament_, pp. 127, 132, where a photograph is given of Professor Flinders Petrie’s cast of the Ashkelon profiles. Footnote 67: _Black Obelisk_, lines 60, 61, compared with _Monolith Inscription_, ll. 90-95. Footnote 68: One _feddan_ or acre contained 1800 _sari_ (Reisner in the _Zeitschrift für Assyriologie_, xi. 4, p. 421). The area was not great, though it was calculated that not more than 120 _sari_ could be ploughed by a single ox. Footnote 69: Published by Strassmaier in the Transactions of the Fifth Oriental Congress, ii. 1, _Append._ pp. 14, 15; a translation will be found in Peiser’s _Altbabylonische Urkunden in the Keilschriftliche Bibliothek_, iv. p. 7. The tablet was found at Tel-Sifr. Footnote 70: Published by Meissner, _Beiträge zum altbabylonischen Privatrecht_, No. 43 (with corrections by Pinches); a translation is given by Peiser, _Keilschriftliche Bibliothek_, iv. pp. 23-25. Footnote 71: Gen. xxiii. 18. The Hebrew expression ‘In the presence of’ is the same as that which is translated ‘Witnessed by’ in the Babylonian documents. Footnote 72: Babylonian _shaqâlu kaspa_, Hebrew _shâqal [eth-hak-] keseph_. Footnote 73: According to Professor Flinders Petrie, the heavy maneh or mina as fixed by Dungi and restored by Nebuchadrezzar weighed 978,309 grammes. An example of it is now in the British Museum. See Lehmann in the _Verhandlungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschaft_, 1893, p. 27. Footnote 74: The identification is, however, doubtful, since only potsherds of the Roman period are visible at Umm Jerâr, which, moreover, according to Palmer (_Name-lists_ in the _Survey of Western Palestine_, p. 420), is merely Umm el-Jerrâr, ‘the mother of water-pots.’ Footnote 75: Beti-ilu (Winckler’s _Tel el-Amarna Letters_, Nos. 51, 125) is associated with Tunip and the country of Nukhassê. The reading of the name is not quite certain, however, as it may be transcribed Batti-ilu or Mitti-ilu. A Babylonian of the Abrahamic age also has the name of Beta-ili. Footnote 76: The title seems to have been of Horite origin (see Gen. xxxvi. 21, 29, 30). Footnote 77: It is noticeable that the Edomite leader who was carried captive to Egypt by Ramses III. after he had destroyed ‘the tents’ of ‘the Shasu in Seir,’ is entitled ‘chieftain,’ and not ‘king.’ There is a portrait of him on the walls of Medînet Habu at Thebes. Footnote 78: For another explanation of the name, see Gen. xxv. 26; Hos. xii. 3. Footnote 79:
