Paine & Wycliffe, Judges 1.7-8

Interpretation to Modern English © Teresa Pelka, M.A.

Quoted in Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason, Conway vol. 4, page 109.
In Judges 1, the writer, after announcing the death of Joshua, proceeds to tell what happened between the children of Judah and the native inhabitants of the land of Canaan. In this statement the writer, having abruptly mentioned Jerusalem in the 7th verse, says immediately after, in the 8th verse, by way of explanation, “Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and taken it”; consequently this book could not have been written before Jerusalem had been taken.
