CHAPTER I. SKETCH OF THE VEGETATION OF PALESTINE AND THE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES. THE interest surrounding that limited portion of Western Asia which modern writers agree to call by its classical name of PALES TINE, is wholly unparalleled both in nature and degree. The love of the Swiss for their native mountains, or the Scotsman's attachment to the ' land of brown heath and shaggy wood,' affords but a faint type of that glowing and reverent affection with which Christians of every race and nation have constantly regarded their more than Fatherland-the birthplace of their faith and hope. The devotion which once drew pilgrims to its venerable metropolis,-to them the geo­ graphical centre of the globe,-established hermits amidst its rocky solitudes, and inspired the grand but reckless fanaticism of Crusaders, finds its modern counterpart in a. growing and intelligent interest in all that concerns the Holy Land, its history and topography, its past and present inhabitants, and its vegetable and animal pro­ ductions. Science has taken the place of superstition ; and without the loss of true reverence, sacred sites, long encircled with the delusive halo of legend and romance,· are measured and mapped out by the careful hand of the surveyor. To gain and to preserve a faithful transcript of the material proportions and natural peculiarities of the country; to trace the course of its once-frequented B 2 SKETCH OF THE VEGETATION OF PALESTINE highways, explore its silent wastes, and disinter from shapeless mounds the scanty and broken relics of former industry and civilization ; to _enumerate and identify the trees and shrubs which still clothe the hill-sides, the flowers which emblazon the vernal soil, the cattle yet roaming on the upland pastures, and the birds which ' sing,' as of old, 'among the branches' ;-all this and much more it has been reserved for our own age to attempt, and in large measure to accomplish, in Israel's ancient heritage: a crusade well worthy of the intelligence, and not less worthy of the piety, of the nineteenth century. Every student of Holy Scripture will naturally seek to form mental conceptions of the scenes amidst which its several portions were written, and the chief events which it records were enacted ; from which, also, its varied and impressive imagery was derived. And to do this with even approximate accuracy demands some acquaintance with the general features of Oriental vegetation. It is true that what Von Humboldt aptly termed the ' physiognomy' of any country is based primarily on its geological structure, the character and arrangement of its rock-masses; but the clothing of its stony skeleton, its numberless modifications of external form and colour, are due chiefly to its vegetable life. More than skies or clouds, more than valleys or hills, more than sentient creatures of high or low degree, the trees, shrubs, and flowers of a land give character to its scenery; impressing the mind by their grandeur, or charming it by their beauty. In a previous volume of the present series 1 the 1 Egypt and Syria; their Physical Features in relation to Bible Hi.sto,-y. By Sir J. W. Dawson (R. T.S., new and revised edition, 1887). AND THE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES. 3 geological peculiarities of Palestine and the countries which border it have been ably and adequately described. The reader will thus have been made acquainted with those remarkable diversities of elevation by which a territory so small as that of the Hebrews should yet include within itself a climate so strangely varied. If Palestine had been a plain, its climate would have been comprised in the sub-tropical zone extending trom lat. 23½ 0 to 34°; but, owing to the inequalities of its surface, no less than five out of the eight zones recognized by geographers are represented within its limited area. On the snow-capped peaks of Lebanon the climate approaches an Arctic severity, while the lower parts of the Ghor, or Jordan valley, experience a tropical heat. Between these extremes of temperature we have the climates of the western coast, the inland plains and lower hills, the higher uplands, and the loftier table-lands beyond Jordan. Out of this strangely-varied climate springs a corre­ sponding complexity in the animal and vegetable life of the country; and the English traveller is struck with the sight of familiar forms, mingled with exotics which remind him how far he has wandered from the temperate fauna and flora of Northern Europe. Tropical bats, Indian owls, and Ethiopian sun-birds are to be found within the borders of the Holy Land, no less than the robins and skylarks, finches and wrens of colder latitudes. The paper-reeds of Egypt and the palms and acacias of the desert are represented, equally with the oaks, willows, and junipers of Europe. The general aspects of the veg-etation of Palestine may be briefly summed up as follows:-The plants B 2 4 SKETCH OF THE VEGETATION OF PALESTINE common to the plain of the coast and the southern high­ lands are for the most part identical with those found in the other countries bordering the Mediterranean east of the Straits of Gibraltar. Here grow the Aleppo pine, the myrtle and ilex, the grey olive and the green arbutus, the carob or locust tree, the orange and citron; the vine, the fig-tree, and the pomegranate. The bay and the oleaster flourish on the hills, and the streams are over­ hung by the roseate blossoms of the oleander. The rest of the table-lands which constitute the greater part of Palestine, both east and west of the Jordan, include a flora of a more widely diffused character, comprising plants of Central Europe and Western Asia, with not a few species growing in our own island. Among them may be mentioned pines and junipers, the terebinth, the almond, apricot and peach, the hawthorn and mountain ash, the ivy and honeysuckle, the walnut . and mulberry ; oaks, poplars, and willows ; the majestic cedars of Lebanon, the melancholy cypress, and the plane-tree with its wide-spreading shade. The vegetation of the '.Jordan Valley, on the other hand, is of a type most closely.allied to that of Northern Africa, with a proportion of Indian, as well as of European, species. Here the date-palm once flourished, though only a few stragglers now remain ; here grow the acacia and the retem of the desert (the' shittim' and' juniper' of Scripture), and many less-known plants, represented in Africa but not on the European continent. In point of climatal conditions, Palestine is most favourably situated. 'The inhabitants,' says Meyen, 'rejoice in the happiest clime. The warmth of the summer enables tropical plants to grow on the plains; thus, the date-palm and the fig (the edible species and AND THE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES.

  • Balm of Gilead
    William Branham - [LONG BEACH CA] TAPE: 61-0218 Balm of Gilead 1 Say much... Let's just remain standing a moment for prayer. I always like to speak to the Author before I open His Book. Don't you think that's a good idea? Someone was talking one time. I said something or another, and--and the man said... It was a fine friend of mine; most all of you know him; and he preaches in seven languages. Booth-Clibborn, you've heard of him, I guess, William Booth-Clibborn. And he said to me; he said, "But, Brother Branham, you just don't know your Bible."I said, "But I know the Author real well." That's...?... And I know the Author; I think that He will teach me His Word. So let's speak to Him now before we go into His Word. 2 Our heavenly Father, the Author of this Word, the Author of the Word of God, "The Word was God and made flesh and dwelled among us." We approach Thee in the Name of Jesus, Thy Son, our Saviour. We love Him, Father, because that He was obedient unto death. And the wrath that was supposed to come upon us was poured out upon Him on Calvary. And there He suffered in our stead that we might go free. No wonder people has never been able to express what love the Father had for the fallen race of Adam, to give His Son to suffer to redeem us by His grace.And, Father, we pray tonight that You'll bless us in our efforts tonight as we come to fellowship around the Word.

The second of these is partly historical and partly prophetical, and belongs to the period of the captivity. The first is a monograph, standing by itself, and referring to a singular instance of the protection vouchsafed by Divine Providence to the Jews of the dispersion under the Persian Empire. The other three form really and designedly a continuous history from the beginning of time, and more fully from the accession of David to the adminis­ tration of N ehcmiah. The books of Chronicles are the only proper antecedent to the history of the times after the captivity.

    The Queen of Sheba’s Gift Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture Series Editor: Carole Hillenbrand A particular feature of medieval Islamic civilisation was its wide horizons. The Muslims fell heir not only to the Graeco-Roman world of the Mediterranean, but also to that of the ancient Near East, to the empires of Assyria, Babylon and the Persians; and beyond that, they were in frequent contact with India and China to the east and with black Africa to the south. This intellectual openness can be sensed in many interrelated fields of Muslim thought, and it impacted powerfully on trade and on the networks that made it possible. Books in this series reflect this openness and cover a wide range of topics, periods and geographical areas. Titles in the series include: Arabian Drugs in Early Medieval Defining Anthropomorphism Mediterranean Medicine Livnat Holtzman Zohar Amar and Efraim Lev Making Mongol History Towards a History of Libraries in Yemen Stefan Kamola Hassan Ansari and Sabine Schmidtke Lyrics of Life The Abbasid Caliphate of Cairo, 1261–1517 Fatemeh Keshavarz Mustafa Banister Art, Allegory and The Rise of Shiism In Iran, The Medieval Western Maghrib 1487–1565 Amira K.

  • Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The Hebrew title of this book (we'elleh shemot) originated from the ancient practice of naming a Bible book after its first word or words. "Now these are the names of" is the translation of the first two Hebrew words. "The Hebrew title of the Book of Exodus, therefore, was to remind us that Exodus is the sequel to Genesis and that one of its purposes is to continue the history of God's people as well as elaborate further on the great themes so nobly introduced in Genesis."1 Exodus cannot stand alone, in the sense that the book would not make much sense without Genesis. The very first word of the book, translated "now," is a conjunction that means "and." The English title "Exodus" is a transliteration of the Greek word exodus, from the Septuagint translation, meaning "exit," "way out," or "departure." The Septuagint translators gave the book this title because of the major event in it, namely, the Israelites' departure from Egypt. "The exodus is the most significant historical and theological event of the Old Testament …"2 DATE AND WRITER Moses, who lived from about 1525 to 1405 B.C., wrote Exodus (17:14; 24:4; 34:4, 27-29).

  • Directory of Incense Ingrediënts
    Directory of Incense ingrediënts Acacia -see Gum Arabic Agar Wood or Agarci Wood -see Oud Aloes resin. Not to be confused with the sweet smelling diseased wood known as Lignum Aloes, or Aloes Wood (which we stock under the name of Agar Wood). The name confusion arises from a mistranslation in the King James Authorised version of the Bible. Most biblical references simply to "Aloes" should be read as meaning "Lignum Aloes". The Aloes resin is prepared by boiling down the sap of Aloe ferrox -a plant similar to the better publicised Aloe vera. Smoulders to give off a strange green smoke, with a sweet, but "dark" smell. Aloes Wood -see Oud or Lignum Aloes Alum Alum is a white crystalline substance traditionally produced by processing certain rocks and clays. It has many uses such as a “mordant” (ie a fixative) in dying, and for curing animal skins. It is non-toxic. It is also one of the most useful chemicals in the incense-makers cupboard. Alum has no smell when smouldered (although it does have a slight lemon-sherbet taste). However, when ground up with herbs and used in incense it has the amazing property of bubbling up around the herb, and carrying the scent of that herb without the "bonfire" effect that you get if you try to burn the herb by itself. For making incense always use the lump or crystal form of Alum, as the grinding process breaks up the leaves of the herb. Powdered alum does not grind the herb and ends up with a paste.
