HOW IT WAS COMPILED, PRESERVED AND BROUGHT DOWN. Tll» Record* Began With Abraham nnd Wore Collected by Ezra—lt Waa Born In the Little Land of Canaan—Conquered larael’i Gift to the World. New discoveries about the Bible are being made almost daily. The religious world is startled every now and then by the announcement that some eld manuscript has been found or some clay tablet corroborating Biblical history has been deciphered. The last few years have been especially notable for remark able finds, not the least of which has been a single leaf of papyrus bearing a few sayings of Jesus—logia, as they have been called. These discoveries arouse a questioning frame of mind. We ask, how did we get the Bible, whence did it come, what was the method of its transmission to us? Learned volumes have been written, but only scholars read them. One of the latest of these is by Dr. William A. Coppinger, but it is so expensive a vol ume—only 150 copies have been printed for sale—that few can read it, even if they would. The much talked of poly chrome Bible, edited by leading Biblical scholars of the world, is an answer to this demand. Still, the question, how did the Bible come down to us? ought to be answered briefly, so that the mass es of the people can read and under stand. It is irreverent to the Bible and the inspired men who gave us this world classic—the classic—dealing with the eternal theme of the relation be tween man and God to think of it as a ready made volume, dropped down from heaven bound and gilt edged. The Bible was born in the little land of Canaan as the weary caravan, led by Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees, pitched its tents and the patriarch wrote down the promises of the Eternal on the palm leaves which he found at hand. This was more than 4,000 years ago, and that writing was in use so early is proved by inscriptions found on Egyp tian steles or Assyrian tablets from 6,000 to 8,000 years old. The records kept by Abraham and his immediate descendants undoubtedly formed the basis of the book of Genesis and the earlier chapters of Exodus, to be later utilized by the hand of Moses and his successors. With the advent of. this great legislator of the Hebrews the nation was formed, with bis legislation as its heart and center. It is probable that Moses wrote his portion of the Bi ble upon the linen used for such pur poses in Egypt, for many large pieces of this linen covered with hieroglyphic writing have come down to us wrapped around mummies. The inscriptions are still legible. The Pentateuch was the nucleus of our Bible, the only Bible known to the Hebrews for many gener ations. It was written in the ancient Ibri character, closely resembling the Phoenician, as by the Siloam in scription discovered near Jerusalem and some ancient coins which have been found. Leaders like Joshua, Gideon and Samuel wore needed in the promised land. Singers and prophets, too, arose, and the scribes of the leaders recorded what was done. The poets wrote down their best songs. The prophets’ words were treasured up by their disciples and followers. The official records were kept in the national archives, and the songs of tho poets and the speeches of the prophets were passed from hand to hand. When the kingdom was divided, records were certainly kept both in the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel. But much of the earlier literature was forgotten in the catastrophe of the destruction of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and the exiles refused to sing the songs of Zion as they “sat by the waters of Ba bel and wept. ” When at last the term of exile was over and some of the more devoted Jews returned to rebuild the walls and temple of Jerusalem, the law had to be brought back to them. Ezra was the man for this work, and he and his coadjutors, the ciders, col lected tho scattered records of earlier days and made the first canon of the Pentateuch. They wrote it in a new script—Kethav Ashuris, the Assyrian or square character brought back from Babylon with them and read and taught it to the people. By’ this time some of the speeches delivered by the prophets of the exile, the second Isaiah and his disciples, had become so dear to the hearts of the people that they were esteemed as classics. Some had preserv ed the addresses of the earlier prophets, and gradually a second set of accepted writings was added to the law. The older songs, too, were found again, and new singers were inspired for the serv ice of the new temple, and the book of Psalms became its hymn book. The proverbs of the nation were col lected by various hands. Other books were founder written as late as the sec ond century before the Christian era. The book of Daniel, for instance, was composed to inspire a people, fainting under Syrian oppression, for the Macca bean revolution. And all this later lit erature was struggling for acceptance into the Bible until the canon of the Old Testament as we now have it was established in the first century of our era by the rabbinical school of Palestine. As the nation Israel sunk under the waves of Roman conquest the Jewish spirit held the Old Testament aloft as its gift to the world.—Clifton Hardy Levy in Review of Reviews. Both Awake.
