SINCE the publication, in 1727, of Dr. Arbuthnot’s “Tables of Ancient
Coins, Weights, and Measures,” that celebrated work has been
regarded by the best divines as the general standard on these
difficult subjects. More recently the bishop of Peterborough has
rendered good service to this part of Biblical antiquity by entering
into several nice and extensive calculations on the weights and
measures mentioned in the Bible, which have, with very few
exceptions, confirmed the previous investigations of Dr. Arbuthnot:
and as the axiom, “What is new in theology is false,” holds good
only in regard to the _doctrines_ of Scripture, and not to its
_statics_ and _numismatics_, no hesitation has been felt in
presenting the reader, under each of the preceding Tables, with some
of the most important of the results which the bishop has thus
obtained.

In the abstruse department of mensuration of superficies, the same
learned prelate has also ably demonstrated, that _the altar of
incense_, described in Exodus xxx, 2, as consisting of a cubit in
length, and a cubit in breadth, and yet “four-square,” contained
exactly one square cubit, that is, three English square feet, and
about forty-seven square inches;--that _the table of_ _shew bread_,
described in Exodus xxv, 23, as being two cubits long and one broad,
and rectangular, contained above six English square feet;--that _the
boards of the tabernacle_, described in Exodus xxvi, 16, as ten
cubits in length and a cubit and a half in breadth, and rectangular,
contained nearly fifty square feet of English measure;--that _the
mercy seat_, which Moses is directed to make “two cubits and a half
the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof,”
Exodus xxv, 17, contained twelve and a half square feet;--that _the
altar of incense_, which was directed to be “a cubit the length
thereof and a cubit the breadth thereof, and four square,” Exodus
xxx, 2, contained upward of three square feet;--that _the court of
the tabernacle_, the orders concerning which were, “The length of
the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every
where,” Exodus xxvii, 18, comprised upward of sixteen thousand six
hundred and thirty-four square feet, or in English land measure one
rood, twenty-one perches, and twenty-seven and a half feet;--and
that _the Levites’ glebe_, which is thus described in Numbers xxxv,
3–5: “The cities they shall have to dwell in: and the suburbs of
them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all
their beasts. And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give
unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward
a thousand cubits round about. And ye shall measure from without the
city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two
thousand cubits,” &c; “and the city shall be in the midst;”
contained three hundred and five acres, two roods, and one perch,
which was, for each of the four sides, seventy-six acres, one rood,
twenty perches, and eighty square feet.

Respecting the Egyptian _aroura_, which is sometimes mistranslated
“acre,” the bishop remarks, “Reflecting upon Moses’ measure by
cubits, and,” in the case of _the court of the tabernacle_, “finding
them to be precisely five thousand square cubits, I observed that
they were just half ten thousand, which I had observed from
Herodotus to be the area of the Egyptian _aroura_, by which their
land was as generally measured as ours is by acres and roods. I
called also to mind a passage in Manetho, an Egyptian priest, cited
by Josephus, in his first book against Apion, where he affirms, that
Manetho, in his history of the reign, wars, and expulsion of the
Pastors, (whom Africanus affirms to be Phenicians or Canaanites, and
Josephus vainly believed to be Jews,) wrote out of the public
records of Egypt, that these Pastors made at Abaris a very large and
strong encampment, that encompassed ten thousand _arouræ_,
sufficient to contain two hundred and forty thousand men, and long
to maintain their cattle. Hence it appears, that not only the
Egyptians, but also the Phenicians or Canaanites, that had dwelt
among them, and had reigned there during the time of six kings
successively, used this measure of land called _aroura_. Now this
was long before the time of Moses; for the beginning of Amosis or
Tethmosis, who expelled them out of Egypt, was very near the time of
Abraham’s death. Wherefore I believe that Moses, who was skilled in
all Egyptian learning, especially in surveying, did of choice make
_the court of the tabernacle_ to be just half an _aroura_, which was
a known measure to him and his people, and that divine authority
directed him so to do.” In another part of his work he reduces the
Egyptian _aroura_ into English measure, and finds it to be three
roods, two perches, and fifty-five and a quarter square feet.

Transcriber’s Note

Minor lapses in punctuation, including missing full stops and end-of-line hyphens, have been corrected with no further notice. In a work this large, it is inevitable that some inconsistencies in format will occur, which have been set right.

There are some variants of spelling which have, in general, been retained, given the wide range of sources employed by the author. The use of the diaeresis in words like ‘coöperate’ or ‘reëstablishment’ was not followed where the prefix appeared hyphenated on a line break (e.g. ‘re-establishment’). These have been rendered here using the diaeresis.

A passage from Chardin, cited on p. 250, has an un-opened quotation, the beginning of which has been placed as noted below, based on other commentaries citing Chardin on Psalms 90.4.

Most internal references refer to the main topics, which are typically in UPPERCASE characters, but on occasion refer to subtopics in mixed SMALLCAP font, or, rarely, to keywords in paragraphs (e.g., allegory).

The main entry for MOAB was printed in a normal font, and so could be easily missed. That has been corrected here to follow the conventional printing.

The Alphabetical Table of Proper Names, at the end of the text, also contains a number of internal references. These refer to other entries in that table.

In the article for CRANE, the Hebrew שיש (marble) is given for ‘crane’, from Jer. viii, 7. The word סיס, or ‘swift’ would seem to have been meant. In the alphabetical index of names, a reference to ‘Siloah’ has no obvious referent.

The article for REED directs the reader to an article for CANE, which is not in the text.
