The geography of the sacred writings presents many
difficulties, occasioned by the changes which Canaan has
undergone, especially for the last 2,000; years. Many of the
ancient towns and villages have had their names so totally
changed that their former appellations are no longer
discernible; several lie buried under their own ruins, and
others have been so long destroyed that not a vestige of them
remains. On these accounts it is very difficult to ascertain
the precise situation of many places mentioned in these
chapters; but this cannot in any measure affect the truth of
the narrative.
