To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, speaks of certain crimes as iniquities "to be punished by the Judges. " But we never hear, it is said of the Institution of Judges in the scriptures till the Israelites had left Egypt and just before the delivery of the Law. It was an Institution of Moses for the more convenient settlement of disputes among the people as rela- ted to himself. How then, it is said could Job have mentioned it, if it was not known till three or four centuries after his own death ? I answer that though Moses intr...oduced such an Institu- tion among the Israelites, it does not follow that there were not Judges among the different patri- archal tribes or families for the same purpose ; for how, without persons of this description could peace and order have been preserved in the world. Every one conversant with the his- tory of the old Testament knows, that the heads 29 of Families in those days were both Kings, and Priests, and Magistrates, and Judges, and that they had the power of punishing with Death. Let us now go to another case ; and here I ask at once, how can it be justly inferred, that Job must have lived after the time of Moses, merely because some of the laws of the Decalogue are found to be the same as some of those mentioned by Job, when the book of Genesis tells us, that the laws so mentioned by the patriarch were in use several centuries before he, Moses himself, was born.
