266 The Early History of the Hebrews city of Instruction, ' from the schools which gathered round its Hbrary, ! and in the Old Testament it is further known as Kirjath-Sepher or ' Booktown/ In The Travels of the Mohar, however, a satirical account of a tourist's adventures in Pales- tine, which was written by an Egyptian in the reign of Ramses ii. , it is termed Beth-Sopher, 'the house of the scribe, ' and is coupled with Kirjath-Anab. It is plain, therefore, that the Massoretic punctuation Sep
...her 'book' is erroneous, and must be corrected to Sopher or 'scribe. ' Whether Kirjath, ' city, ' should also be corrected into Beth, ' house ' or ' temple, ' is more doubtful. Beth would be the more appropriate term in the case of a town which possessed a sanctuary, and it may be that the word Kirjath has been derived from the neighbouring town of [Kirjath-] Anab, which is called simply Anab in Josh. Xv. 50. But it is also possible that the Egyptian writer has made a mistake, and has interchanged the wotds 'city' and 'house, ' the true names of the two cities having been Kirjath-Sopher and Beth-Anab.^ However this may be, Caleb promised his daughter Achsah as a reward to the conqueror of Debir.
