The city of Hazor and Old Testament accuracy

by Wayne Jackson

The city of Hazor lay almost nine miles north of the Sea of Galilee. During the time of Joshua, it was a Canaanite stronghold in northern Palestine. Professor Yadin’s discoveries actually revealed that there were two destructions of Hazor – one in the 13th century B.C., and another in the 15th century B.C. This is precisely the picture presented in the Old Testament.
