[Jonathan] 30 300 330 300 The practical result of which is, that all chronologers, by not perceiving the surplusage due to these absurd generations of 40 years, have assigned about 160-170 years too much between Solomon and Moses; and ergo, the Exodus must descend from b. c. 1491, its date in the English version, to b. c. 1314-’22, circa. After studying the above Table, the reader may perhaps perceive with us several things not generally known : — 1st. — That the whole of this Jewish chronology is unhistorical; because it is not based upon positive records of the number of years each personage lived, but it was fabri- cated, long after their times, by semi-scientific, semi-literary, computators; whose process was to assign impossible generations of 40 years to their country’s pre-historic heroes; and then, having obtained a maximum-period in which the lives of such wor- thies were thereby inclosed, these modern computators (probably about the 3d cen- tury after c., when the Books were re-transcribed into the s^warc-letter alphabet) apportioned to each hero, in the anew-manipulated Hebrew Text, those irrecon- cilable numerals that have come down to our time. 2d.— That, whether the genealogical catalogues be right or not, the chronology is a later intercalation.
