We have other accounts-(rf stones having been anointedjnlike manuefjand among the heathen the practice also came into vogue. It is not difficult to perceive how quickly the adoration of God at the stone may have become the worship of the stone itself, and it is certain that the worship of stones — Boetylia — became a practice among the Chaldeans, Arabians, and especially the Syrophcenicians.
Digitized by Google ORIENTATION OF ANCIENT TEMPLES, ETC. 199 The very name has a close resemblance to Be...thel (though there are some who demur at this), and it is at least remarkable that, around the spot where Jacob anointed this one, so many other sacred stones should be found in after-years among the heathen ; one of the most singular of which was the luminous green stone of Tyre, a city which became great after the return of the Hebrews to the Promised Land. The black stone, or meteorolite, so sacred to the worshippers of all ages, in the Kaaba at Mecca is not the least renowned of ^ such.
We now approach that period when the promise of God to Abraham began to be fulfilled, when the Hebrews, having increased as the sands of the sea, are to be conducted into the Promised Land to overthrow and uproot that most detest- able of false worships in which the Canaanites, among all the - descendants of Ham, appear to have been pre-eminent For this purpose the people must be educated to a higher form of religion than they then possessed, it being not enough that their leaders only should possess the religion, as among the heathen, it was necessary that all should possess the know- ledge of God.
