Under the closure which was to culminate in leadership of Moses the Hebrews the supreme revelation of Jesus were nerved to assert their nation- | Christ. hood among the Egyptians and their continuity with their cestral religion. The whole history of Israel was a commentary upon their faith, upon the nature of the God in which they believed. It did not express the mataphysical conception of God's self-existence,

against the unity of the Hebrew people when they settled there in the hillier regions. They broke up into detached groups after they had found their feet there. They mingled

Their passion for liberty, their revolt against tyranny, destroyed any attempt made to set up an Oriental despotism which might have strangled their religion while 1 was yet immature. The position of the country, through which ran several caravan routes, brought the people into touch with other races and other religions all of which contributed to their own develop- ment..
