Translators’ note. The Author seems here to be mistaken: for in the Hebrew of Chronicles vi. 63. (not as in the citation 78.) it is said, ממטה ראובן את בצר ואת־יהצהAnd in the verse following קרמותis mentioned as another city distinct from that of Ja- hazah. So likewise in the Septuagint after ‘Ιαζὴρ, as it is called in Joshua, and ‘Ιασὰ in the Chronicles, we find Καδμώθ. In the Hebrew Text of Joshua, the Author’s citation is not at all inserted. ↩
