To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why then, we may ask, do they, and all other nations upon the face of the earth, go so far astray in their concep- tions of God, and in their attempts to describe the origin of the world or of the human race ? Why is there lapetus, a mere mythical being, the father of Prometheus, who makes a man and woman of clay or of particles taken from other animals, and gives them life with fire which he had stolen from heaven ; while the Japheth of Genesis is a man like one of us, conspicuous for his mode...sty and filial affection, and one to whom God promises exten- sive empire and superiority for his descendants over those of all his brethren ? And again we may ask, is it likely that any Israelite, between the ages of Moses and Ezra, proud of his descent from Shem, and expecting the sovereignty of the world in the days of the Messiah, would have given in his forged Genesis universal dominion to Japheth, the forefather of the inhabitants of the isles of the Gentiles ? Even one of those subsequent editors of Genesis, of whom our modern critics speak, would scarcely have left this prophecy as it stands in the Hebrew text if he had not felt persuaded that Moses had stamped it as authentic.
