The
whole
people
of
Israel
,
through
a
popular
distribution
of
the
land
of
among
themselves
by
lot
,
and
a
fixation
of
such
popular
balance
,
by
their
law
,
or
Iubile
,
entayling
the
inheritance
of
each
proprietor
upon
his
heirs
for
ever
,
was
Locally
divided
into
twelve
Tribes
.
Every
Tribe
had
a
double
capacity
;
the
one
military
,
the
other
civil
.
A
Tribe
in
her
military
capacity
,
consisted
of
one
Staff
,
or
Standard
of
the
camp
,
under
the
leading
of
her
distinct
and
hereditary
Prince
,
as
commander
in
chief
;
and
of
her
Princes
of
families
,
or
chief
fathers
,
as
captaines
of
thousands
,
and
captaines
of
hundreds
.
A
Tribe
in
her
political
capacity
,
was
next
and
immediately
under
the
government
of
certain
Iudicatories
,
sitting
in
the
gates
of
her
cities
;
each
of
which
consisted
of
twenty
three
Elders
,
elected
for
life
,
by
her
free
suffrage
.
The
Soveraign
power
,
and
common
ligament
of
the
twelve
Tribes
,
was
the
Sanhedrim
of
Israel
,
and
the
or
congregation
of
the
Lord
.
The
Sanhedrim
was
a
Senate
,
consisting
of
seventy
Elders
,
for
life
;
so
instituted
,
by
the
free
election
of
six
competitors
,
in
and
by
each
Tribe
;
every
Elder
or
Senator
of
the
Sanhedrim
,
being
taken
out
of
this
number
of
competitors
,
by
the
lot
.
The
congregation
of
the
Lord
,
was
a
representative
of
the
people
of
Israel
,
consisting
of
twenty
four
thousand
,
for
the
terme
of
one
moneth
;
and
perpetuated
by
the
monethly
election
of
two
thousand
deputies
of
the
people
,
in
each
Tribe
.
The
Sanhedrim
,
upon
law
made
,
was
a
standing
Iudicatory
of
appeal
from
the
courts
in
the
gates
,
throughout
the
Tribes
;
and
in
law
to
be
made
,
whatever
was
proposed
by
the
Sanhedrim
,
and
resolved
in
the
affirmative
by
the
Congregation
of
the
Lord
,
was
an
Act
of
the
Parliament
of
Israel
.
Behold
,
I
have
taught
you
statutes
and
judgments
,
even
as
the
Lord
my
God
commanded
me
,
that
ye
should
do
so
in
the
land
whither
you
go
to
possesse
it
.
Keep
therefore
,
and
do
them
:
for
this
is
your
wisdom
,
and
your
understanding
in
the
sight
of
the
nations
,
which
shall
hear
all
these
statutes
,
and
say
;
Surely
this
great
nation
is
a
wise
and
understanding
people
.
The
Lord
shall
bring
thee
,
and
thy
king
which
thou
shalt
set
over
thee
,
unto
a
nation
,
which
neither
thou
,
nor
thy
fathers
have
known
,
and
there
shalt
thou
serve
other
gods

and

and
all

dayes
of
the
Elders
that
out-lived
Joshua
;
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
.
And
an
angel
of
the
Lord
,
came
up
from
Gilgal
to
Bochim
,
and
said
,
I
made
you
go
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
,
and
have
brought
you
into
the
land
which
I
sware
unto
your
fathers
;
and
I
said
,
I
will
never
break
my
covenant
with
you
.
And
ye
shall
make
no
league
with
the
inhabitants
of
this
land
,
ye
shall
throw
down
their
altars
:
but
ye
have
not
obey'd
my
voice
;
why
have
you
done
this
?
Wherefore
I
also
said
,
I
will
not
drive
them
out
from
before
you
:
but
they
shall
be
as
thornes
in
your
sides
,
and
their
gods
shall
be
a
snare
to
you
.
Josephus
,
The
Israelites
neglecting
their
armes
,
betook
themselves
unto
tillage
;
and
effeminated
with
peace
,
gave
their
minds
rather
to
what
was
easie
and
pleasing
,
then
what
was
secure
or
honourable
:
forgetful
of
the
lawes
of
God
,
and
of
their
discipline
.
Whereupon
,
God
being
moved
unto
anger
,
admonished
them
by
a
Prophet
,
that
in
sparing
the
they
had
disobeyed
him
;
and
that
in
case
they
persisted
,
for
his
mercies
neglected
,
they
should
taste
of
his
justice
.
But
they
,
though
terrify'd
with
the
oracle
,
were
altogether
averse
unto
the
war
;
both
because
they
were
bribed
by
the
and
through
luxury
,
were
become
unapt
for
labour
:
the
form
of
their
Commonwealth
being
now
depraved
,
and
the
Aristocratical
part
thereof
invalid
:
while
neither
the
Senate
was
elected
,
nor
the
solemne
Magistrates
created
as
formerly
.
As
where
Judah
said
unto
Simeon
his
brother
,
Come
up
with
me
into

,
that
we
may
fight
against
the
Canaanites
,

I
likewise
will
go
with
thee
into

it

Canaanites

did
not
utterly

the
Law
of
the
Land
,
and
no
other

in
the
case
reserved
unto
the
Dictatorian
Council
.
This
was
indeed
the
form
pretended
in
words
by
the
four
hundred
:
But
the
most
of
them
,
through
private
ambition
,
fell
upon
that
by
which
an
Oligarchy
,
made
out
of
a
Democracy
,
is
chiefly
overthrown
;
for
at
once
they
claimed
every
one
not
to
be
equal
,
but
to
be
far
the
chief
.
Now
first
(
at
least
in
my
time
)
the
Athenians
seem
to
have
ordered
their
State
aright
,
it
consisting
of
a
moderate
temper
both
of
the
Few
and
the
Many
.
And
this
was
the
first
thing
that
after
so
many
mis-fortunes
made
the
City
again
to
raise
her
head
.
That
every
Magistracie

this

whether

of
consequence
to
enjoyn
an
interval
or
vacation
equal
unto
the
term
of
the
same
.
That
the
Magistracy
of
a
Knight
and
of
a
Burgesse
,
be
in
this
relation
understood
as
one
and
the
same
:
and
that
this
order
regard
onely
such
elections
as
are
national
or
domestick
,
and
not
such
as
are
Provincial
or
Forraign
.
That
for
an
exception
from
this
Rule
,
where
there
is
but
one
elder
of
the
horse
in
one

the
same
Parish
,
that
elder
be
eligible

where
there
be

four
elders
of

Parish
,
there
be
not
above
half
,
nor
under
two
of
them

Election

That
throughout
all
the
Assemblies

half

to

That

that
the

the

assemble
