How long did the Canaanites oppress Israel?
im not sure cuz in judges 10:8 it says this King James BibleAnd that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.and then in judges 13:1 it says King James BibleAnd the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.hope i could help though im pretty sure its the first one:}AnswerDifferent authorities reach different answers depending on their interpretation of whether all or just a particular part of Israel was under oppression at that time, and the dating of those events. Some authorities have a guesstimate, while others just don't know. Others such as Jordan [see Example 1 following] have actually dated all Judges and all periods of oppression for the entire period of the Book of Judges. Example 1:Jordan [see link] breaks down this entire period into and has 96 years of oppression out of a total of 350 years [2910 - 2560 = 350]."So to sum up, here is my conclusion of the matter:2513 - Exodus from Egypt.2554 - Beginning of Conquest of the land.2559 - End of Conquest, Division of the land. Caleb 85 years old.2560 - Israel goes to its lands.2620 - Beginning of 8-year oppression of Cushan (Jud. 3:8).2628 - Beginning of Othniel's 40-year judgeship (Jud. 3:11).2668 - Beginning of Eglon's 18-year oppression (Jud. 3:11-12)2686 - Beginning of Ehud's 20-year judgeship and his 80-year peace.2706 - Death of Ehud, beginning of Jabin's 20-yearoppression in the North (Jud. 4:3).2726 - Beginning of Barak's 40-year judgeship and peacein the North (Jud. 5:31).2766 - End of Barak's Northern peace and Ehud's Central peace,beginning of Midianite oppression (Jud. 6:1). The Midianite oppressionreturns us to the Center of the land. From here on, Center and Northexperience one set of problems, while South struggles withPhilistines (Jud. 3:31).2773 - Beginning of Gideon's 40-year judgeship (Jud. 8:28).2811 - Hypothetical birth of Boaz (see footnote 6 below).2813 - Beginning of Abimelech's 3-year oppressive reign (Jud. 9:22).2816 - Beginning of Tola's 23-year judgeship (Jud. 10:1).2839 - Beginning of Jair's 22-year judgeship (Jud. 10:3).2841 - Beginning of Eli's 40-year judgeship in the South (1 Sam. 4:18).2861 - Beginning of Philistine oppression in the South andAmmonite oppression in the Center and North (Jud. 10:5-7).Births of Samson, Samuel, and Obed (see footnote 6 below).The 300 years of Judges 11:26 begin in 2560 and end in 2860.2878 - Beginning of Jephthah's 6-year judgeship in Center and North (Jud. 11:26; 12:7).2881 - Death of Eli, beginning of Samuel's judgeship at Tabernacleand Samson's judgeship in the South.2884 - Beginning of Ibzan's 7-year judgeship in the Center and North (Jud. 11:9).2891 - Beginning of Elon's 10-year judgeship in Center and North (Jud. 11:11).2901 - Death of Samson, battle of Mizpah, deliverance from Philistine oppression.2901 - Death of Elon, beginning of Abdon's 8-yearjudgeship in Center and North (Jud. 11:14).2909 - Death of Abdon; Samuel appoints sons, rejected; anointingof Saul; accession of Saul.2910 - Saul year 1. Samuel is 49.2919 - Birth of David. Samuel is 58.2929 - Hypothetical anointing of David at age 10. Samuel is 68.2949 - Accession of David.2950 - David year 1.2989 - Accession of Solomon.2990 - Solomon year 1.2993 - Foundation of Temple laid, 480 years after Exodus.3000 - Completion of Temple."[end of quote](My Note on above Example: the years shown above are "AM" , or years after creation. For correlation and comparison, this means The date of Creation is "0" [that is, zero] AM which is the same as 4004BC (Ussher), and the Exodus at 2513AM is the sane as 146BC [Ussher]Example 2:RP BenDeket has 116 years oppression,[see http://www.kingscalendar.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=viewnews&id=164]Example 3:Heath [see link] has 111 years oppression.Conclusion:As this period of oppression averages out at 108 years, if you said it was 110 or 111 years you couldn't be far wrong. [At least '111' is easy to remember]

Why do Koreans ring the big bell during New Year?
The bell-ringing event originates from an ancient Buddhist practice. In the old days, temples rang their bell 108 times on Lunar New Year's Eve. The New Year bell-ringing is conducted at temples across the country. But the Seoul event is the biggest and the most symbolic.Temples used to toll the bell to tell the time or bring in people. During the Joseon Dynasty, Bosingak Bell was used to let people know the time of the day and announce the opening and closing of the city gates. It was rung 33 times at 4 a.m. and 28 times at 10 p.m. The bell has been used for New Year celebrations since the nation's liberation from Japan's colonial rule in 1945. On the Liberation Day, the March 1 Independence Movement Day and other national anniversaries, it has also been tolled as a symbol of national unity. Like other Korean bells, Bosingak Bell has an elegant and balanced shape and a deep and clear sound.
