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

wherefore_o some_o of_o they_o have_v go_v so_o far_o that_o they_o have_v affirm_v that_o the_o first_o man_n be_v a_o giant_n and_o that_o noah_n also_o &_o his_o child_n be_v giant_n because_o
