"GENESIS FIFTY-ONE."
Spurious Chapter That Has Puzzled
Biblical. Scholars for Years. ~


For the past 500 or 600 years the follow
ing so called Genesis Fifty-one" has been
puzzle to Biblical scholars; and today,
were it read aloud in any mixed company,
it is questionable If its fraudulent nature
would be discovered, so beautiful is the
spirit and language of the Old Testament
initiated. Below we give this unique
fraud in full:
l. And it came to pass after these things
that Abraham sat in the door of his tent at
about the going down of the sun.
9. And behold a man, bowed with age,
came from the way of the wilderness, lean
ing on a staff
3. And Abraham arose and met him and
said unto him, Turn in, pray thee, and
wash thy feet, and tarry all night, and
thou shalt arise early on the morrow and
go thy way.
4. But the man said Nay, for will abide
under this tree.
5. And Abraham pressed him greatly, so
he turned and they went into the tent; and
Abraham broke unleavened bread, and
they did eat
6. And when Abraham saw that the man
blessed not God, he said unto him, Where
fore doest thou not worship the most high
God, creator of heaven and earth?
Z. And the man answered ana said, | do
not worship the God thou speakest of,
neither do call upon his name, for have
made to myself god which abideth al
ways in my house and provideth me with
all things.
s. And Abraham's anger was kindled
against that man for what he had said, and
he arose and drove him forth with blows
into the wilderness.
0. And at midnight God called upon
Abraham, saying, Abraham, where is the
stranger that came by the way of the tent
at the going down Of the sun.
10. And Abraham answered and said,
Lord, he would not worship thee, neither
would he call upon thy name, therefore
have driven him out from before my face
into the wilderness.
IL. And God said, Have not borne with
him these hundred and ninety and eight
years, and nourished him, and clothed him,
Notwithstanding he has rebelled against
me? Couldst thou not, thee thyself being
sinner, bear with him one night'
l2. And Abraham said, Let not the an
ger of my Lord wax against his servant
Lo! | have sinned; forgive me pray Of
thee
ID. And Abraham arose and went forth
into the wilderness and sought diligently
for the man until he had found him and
returned with him to the tent, and when
he had entertained him kindly he sent him
away on the morrow with many gifts.
IA. And God spake again unto Abraham,
saying, for this thy sin against the stranger,
thy seed shall be afflicted 400 years in a
strange land.
10. But, for thy repentance, will deliver
them, aud they shall come forth with
power and with gladness of heart.

Ben was rs cunning as a serpent, and
whenever any one, afoot or afloat, came
unpleasantly near he would slide off into
the water, which meant goodby for the
rest of the day.
One line morning a sportsman padding
