Verse 25 says the Canaanites dwell in the valley, verse 45 says the Canaanites dwell in that hill. Which is it? | Date: Sep 17, 2006 By: Mrs E 15 Problems1 Solution | References | | Numbers 14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. | | Numbers 14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah. | | Thy Word is True...Solution! | | Date: Nov 4, 2007 | Posted By: Adam Engesath | Both. The hill is located in the valley. Notice the hills are different than the surrounding mountains mentioned in Numbers 13:17 and Numbers 14:40.
Also, see the description of the land in Deuteronomy 11:11 "But the land, wither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:"
So, the valleys have hills which are different from the surrounding mountains and the Canaanites and the Amalekites dwelt in both the valleys and the hills. No contradiction. | | Post a solution! |
