Excerpt from Biblical Topography The learned Dr. Kalisch, in his Commentary upon Genesis, when approaching this subject, remarks that "scarcely any part of the habitable globe has remained without the honour of being regarded as the happy abode of our first parents." The statement is an exaggeration, but it has a basis of fact to rest upon; and if we substitute for "any part of the habitable globe" the words "any portion of south-western Asia or north-eastern Africa," there will not be much reason to find fault with it.
