Jerome says, that Succoth was in the district of Scythopolis; and the Jews inform us, that the name of Darala was sometime after applied to it.ReciprocalLeviticus 23:42 - General; Numbers 32:16 - General; Nehemiah 8:14 - booths; Psalm 108:7 - the valley Verse 18ShalemThe word Shalem in the Samaritan Shalom, should probably be rendered "in peace," or "in safety;" as it is translated by the Chaldee, Arabic, Coverdale, and Matthewes. John 3:23, 4:5; Acts 7:16 a city of ShechemOr, rather, "the city Shechem," which was situated in a narrow valley, abounding with springs, between Mounts Ebal and Gerizim, having the former on the north, and the latter on the south; 10 miles from Shiloh, and 34 from Jerusalem. It became the capital of Samaria, after the ruin of the city of that name.

Lam. Roque says, "Properly speaking, a young man who would marry must purchase his wife; and fathers among the Arabs are never so happy as when they have many daughters. They form part of the riches of the house. Accordingly, when a young man would treat with a person whose daughter he is inclined to marry, he says to him, Will you give me your daughter for fifty sheep, for six camels, or for a dozen cows?' according to the rank of her family, and the circumstances of him who desires to marry her."dowryGenesis 24:53, 29:18, 31:41; Exodus 22:16, 22:17; Deuteronomy 22:28, 22:29; 1 Samuel 18:25-27; 2 Samuel 3:14; Hosea 3:2; Matthew 14:17

The petty princes of Asia have always been absolute and despotic; their subjects paying them the most prompt and blind obedience. The following instance will sufficiently illustrate and confirm this statement: Abu Thaher, chief of the Carmathians, about the year 930, with only 500 horse, went to lay siege to Bagdad: the khalif's general marched out to seize him; but before the attack, sent an officer to summon him to surrender. "How many men has the khalif's general?" said Abu Thaher; "30,000," replied the officer. "Among them all," says the Carmathian chief, "has he got three like mine?" Then ordering his followers to approach, he commanded one to stab himself, another to throw himself from a precipice, and a third to plunge into the Tigris: all three instantly obeyed, and perished! Then turning to the officer, he said, "He who has such troops need not value the number of his enemies!"went outGenesis 23:10, 23:18 every male17:23; Isaiah 1:10-16; Matthew 7:6; Romans 2:28, 2:29; 1 Corinthians 7:19ReciprocalGenesis 35:2 - clean; 1 Timothy 6:10 - the love Verse 25soreJoshua 5:6, 5:8 SimeonGenesis 29:33, 29:34, 49:5, 49:7; Numbers 31:7, 31:17; Proverbs 4:16, 6:34, 6:35 slewGenesis 49:6; 2 Chronicles 32:25ReciprocalGenesis 35:2 - clean; 37:12 - in Shechem; 42:24 - Simeon; 44:7 - General; 46:10 - Simeon; Numbers 1:22 - General; Psalm 5:6 - the bloody; Proverbs 27:3 - but; Ecclesiastes 7:9 - anger Verse 26edgeHeb. mouth, Deuteronomy 32:42; 2 Samuel 2:26; Isaiah 31:8ReciprocalGenesis 30:21 - and called; 49:6 - a man; Psalm 5:6 - the bloody; Proverbs 27:3 - but; Ecclesiastes 7:9 - anger Verse 27Genesis 34:13 spoiledEsther 9:10, 9:16; 1 Timothy 6:10 theyGenesis 34:2, 34:31; Exodus 2:14; Joshua 7:1, 7:21
