Description:Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: A DEFENCE OF NEGRO SLAVERY. CHAPTER I. SLAVERY AJCOXG THE JEWS. The existence of Slavery among the Ancient Jews, throughout the entire period of their national existence, is a fact which all candid and intelligent persons will readily admit. Dr. Way- Land, an uncompromising opponent of Slavery, and one of the most popular moral writers of the present day, says: I grant, at once, that the Hebrews held Slaves from the time of the conquest of Canaan, and that Abraham and the Patriarchs had held them, many centuries before. I grant, also, that Moses enacted laws with special reference to that relation. Of the nature of these laws, it may be convenient to speak shortly. I wonder that any one should have the hardihood to deny so plain a matter of record: I should almost as soon deny the delivery of the Ten Commandments to Moses. Abraham, the great progenitor of the Jewish nation, the Friend of God, and the Father of the Faithful, was an extensive owner of Slaves. We are enabled to form some estimate of the number of slaves owned by Abraham, from the number that he took with him to the field in pursuit of the kings who had taken Lot and his family, prisoners. In Genesis, (xiv. 14) we are informed that -- When Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. Besides the servants born in his house, Abraham owned others which he had purchased with his money. In the institution of circumcision, (Gen. xvii.) we are informed that Jehovah, (verse 13) told Abraham that He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised,We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
