The Horse in Scripture.
Gentleman's Magazine


l remember having seen somewhere
picture of Adam in the garden of
Eden riding bare backed mustang, a
lion gambling by his side. But in
Holy Writ the horse appears In only
onc aspect as the war horse. HE
saith among the trumpets, Hal ha!
and he smelleth the battle afar off, the
thunder of the captains and the shout
ing" In Genesis the name does not
occur at all. Nor, as matter of fact,
could it do so, seeing that the first
''horse" (the first that science knows
SoD was little fve-toed, sharp -nosed
creature, much too small for a man
OF even our degenerate stature to ride
upon, and otherwise also unsuita BILE
for steed, and il is, therefore. very
probable that ''the first man" never
was on horseback.
Yet the uss of the animal dates back
TO prodigious antiquity. The Assyr-
ian sculptures show us high bred agd
carefully caparisoned chargers, three
thousand years and more ago. Nor
is 1t at all likely that they were the
first to train them, for the horse is 3
native of Central Asia, and the early
Aryan is hardly likely to have wasted
such useful beast. At any rate that
perfection TO which the extremely an
Gent Assyrian monuments show us
that the breeding had attained some
eighteen hundred years before Christ,
must certainly have taken long time
IN development.
