Chapter XXXV: Section III: Collateral testimony confirmative of the

Mosaic account of the exode of the Israelites from Egypt,
their sojourn in the wilderness, and settlement in Canaan.
Curious discovery confirmatory of the Mosaic narrative.
Trogus' account of the origin of the Jews. The account of
their origin by Apion, an Egyptian writer. Manetho's account
of the shepherds who retreated from Egypt to Judea.
Tacitus' account of the origin of the Jews. Artapanus'
relation concerning Moses. Janes and Jambres, the Egyptian
magicians, well known to heathen writers. Strabo's account
of Moses. The account of the Heliopolitans concerning the
passage of the Red Sea. A similar tradition by Diodorus.
The inhabitants of Corondel to this day preserve the remembrance
of the passing of the Red Sea by the Israelites.
The names of different places passed by the Israelites
during their sojourn in the wilderness confirm the Mosaic
narrative. The writer of the Orphic verses speaks of
Moses and the tables of the Laws. Didorus Siculus notices
Moses. Dionysius Longius makes honorable mention of
Moses. Accuracy of the Mosaic narrative of the sojourn
in the wilderness confirmed by Laborde. The tomb of
Aaron on Mount Hor, confirms the truth of the Mosaic
narrative. Summing up of the argument from collateral
testimony. A very conclusive evidence of the truth of the
Mosaic history quoted from Dr. Keith.--The history of the
Israelites subsequent to the settlement in Canaan corroborated
by profane writers. Curious discovery, illustrative
of the Scriptural account of the war carried on by
Pharaoh-Necho against the Jews and Babylonians.--Confutation
of the objection founded by Infidels upon the supposed
sterility of the soil of Palestine. Forcible testimony
to the credibility of the Old Testament Scriptures afforded
by the present condition of the Jews 159
