Listen:
Long before the Israelites came to Palestine, the
land was inhabited by Semetic and other races. Many of these, for
example the Ammonites and Philistines, are supposed to have been of
Indo-Germanic origin. The conquest by the Israelites did not take
place all at once, but continued during long years. The crossing of
the Jordan is ascribed to the fourteenth century B.C. and during the
three following centuries serious wars were waged with the
Ammonites, Moabites, Midianites, and above all with the Philistines.
