But because all controversy, not a little dependeth [Greek or Hebrew],1 that is of the circumstance of the persons, let us therefore set her before our eyes, and consider with our selves what manner of men the Kenites were. They assuredly in blood were joined with the Israelites. For it is written that they were the posterity of Hobab the father in law of Moses. Farther, in the study of piety and the law of God they most purely consented with the Hebrews. Neither was their faith idle, but of efficacy and working. For they leaving their country, followed the Israelites, and God which was their guide through the desert places. Wherefore at the length when the lands were distributed, they obtained inheritance together with them in the land of Canaan. For these causes, if Jael went about to set the Jews at liberty, she did but her duty, neither took she upon her any other mans office.
