the_o opinion_n of_o other_o be_v that_o hebron_n be_v call_v the_o city_n arba_n because_o it_o be_v inhabit_v of_o .4_o giant_n namely_o sesay_n ahimman_n and_o thalmay_v unto_o which_o three_o

be_v not_o to_o be_v allow_v which_o do_v think_v that_o the_o city_n be_v so_o call_v because_o although_o it_o be_v but_o one_o city_n yet_o it_o consist_v of_o four_o city_n and_o that_o this_o

the_o builder_n thereof_o name_v arba_n child_n arba_n have_v three_o child_n who_o how_o he_o come_v by_o that_o surname_n it_o be_v uncertain_a only_o this_o we_o may_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o

it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o they_o be_v dead_a long_a time_n before_o josua_n and_o when_o they_o be_v now_o dead_a than_o be_v there_o mention_v make_v of_o they_o because_o their_o family_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v of_o a_o wonderful_a huge_a stature_n be_v destroy_v by_o caleb_n and_o othoniel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o suppose_v that_o these_o three_o

of_o arba_n how_o can_v his_o child_n be_v on_o live_v at_o this_o time_n it_o can_v be_v so_o beside_o this_o abraham_n have_v a_o lodging_n in_o this_o city_n &_o buy_v there_o a_o double_a cave_n and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o josua_n his_o time_n be_v almost_o .400_o year_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o very_o likely_a that_o the_o son_n of_o he_o which_o build_v so_o ancient_a a_o city_n shall_v live_v till_o josua_n his_o time_n unless_o any_o man_n will_v fain_v that_o the_o same_o city_n be_v build_v long_a time_n before_o &_o call_v by_o a_o other_o name_n &_o then_o in_o

they_o may_v most_o right_o be_v esteem_v small_a thing_n for_o that_o these_o be_v most_o grevous_a wherefore_o when_o we_o consider_v how_o the_o jew_n be_v deliver_v from_o outward_a misery_n let_v

howbeit_o i_o think_v it_o good_a this_o to_o be_v add_v that_o some_o judge_v that_o prodition_n &_o espial_n do_v not_o much_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o and_o that_o it_o may_v sometime_o
