[92:5] Besides the many other facts which show that the Pentateuch was not composed until long after the time of Moses and Joshua, the following may be mentioned as examples: _Gilgal_, mentioned in Deut. xi.

30, was not given as the name of that place till _after_ the entrance into Canaan. _Dan_, mentioned in Genesis xiv. 14, was not so called till long _after_ the time of Moses. In Gen. x.x.xvi. 31, the beginning of the reign of the kings over Israel is spoken of _historically_, an event which did not occur before the time of Samuel. (See, for further information, Bishop Colenso's Pentateuch Examined, vol. ii. ch. v. and vi.)

The '_literalists_' they called fools. The account of the _Creation_ was one of the portions which the unlearned were specially forbidden to meddle with." (Greg: The Creed of Christendom, p.
