Quote by John Courtenay James

“Relatively the Canaanites were a cultured and active people, as Egyptian and other literary remains prove. From them the Israelites probably gained some knowledge of letters. The earliest forms of this Canaanite -Israelite language known to us are found in the Phoenician and Moabite inscriptions.” quote by John Courtenay James
