THE SURVEY OF WESTERN PALESTINE. A GENERAL INDEX TO 1. THE MEMOIRS, VOLS. I.-III. 2. THE SPECIAL PAPERS. 3. THE JERUSALEM VOLUME. 4. THE FLORA AND FAUNA OF PALESTINE. 5. THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. AND TO THE ARABIC AND ENGLISH NAME LISTS. COMPILED BY HENRY C. STEWARDSON. 1888 Electronic Edition by Todd Bolen BiblePlaces.com 2005 PREFACE. ITTLE explanation is required of the arrangement followed in this Volume, beyond calling L attention to the division of this Volume into two parts: the first forms a combined Index to the three Volumes of the Memoirs, the Special Papers, the Jerusalem Volume, the Flora and Fauna of Palestine, and the Geological Survey; and the second is an Index to the Arabic and English Name Lists. This division was considered advisable in order to avoid the continual use of reference letters to the Name Lists, which would otherwise have been required. The large number of entries rendered it absolutely necessary to make them as brief as possible; but it is hoped that it will be found that perspicuity has not been sacrificed to brevity. A full explanation of the reference letters used will be found on the first page. The short Hebrew Index at the end of the Volume has been kindly furnished by Dr. W. Aldis Wright. H. C. S. PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION. ore than a hundred years after the publication of the Survey of Western Palestine, its M continued value is well-known and is evidenced by the recent reprint and librarians’ propensity to store the work in restricted areas of the library. Production of this electronic edition of the index thus makes it more accessible to students and researchers. In addition, the search capabilities of an electronic work are a significant advantage. This index was created manually, with hundreds of hours of typing from various contributors including Rebecca Bange, Jamie Erselius, Cynthia Hawkins, Kelly Hermann, Lidia Kotenkov, Seth Rodriquez, and Andrei Tsvirinko. The entire index was typed by hand and the whole was checked and double-checked. The challenge of creating this electronic index was not only in its size but in the foreign words and numerous accent marks. The work of each contributor is gratefully acknowledged. T. B.

Her book was inspired by a desire to prove (or disprove) Dr. Ernest Martin’s research in The Temples That Jerusalem Forgot. Ms. Sams wrote a second book in 2017, The Jerusalem Temple Mount: A Compendium of Ancient Descriptions expanding the argument in her first book, itemizing and analyzing 375 ancient descriptions of the Temple, Fort Antonia, and environs, all confirming a Gihon location for God’s Temples.1 Her books and articles greatly advance Dr. Martin’s arguments. David Sielaff, ASK Editor Marilyn Sams: The siege of Titus has been the subject of many books and papers, but always from the false perspective of the Jerusalem Temple Mount’s misidentification.2 The purpose of this paper is to illuminate additional aspects of the siege, in order to show how they cannot reasonably be applied to the current models of the temple and Fort Antonia, but can when the “Temple Mount” is identified as Fort Antonia. Conflicts Between the Rebellious Leaders Prior to the Siege of Titus A clarification of the definition of “Acra” is crucial to understanding the conflicts between John of Gischala and Simon of Giora, two of the rebellious [Jewish] faction leaders, who divided parts of Jerusalem 1 Her second book shows the impossibility of the so-called “Temple Mount” and demonstrate the necessity of a Gihon site of the Temples.

    HIDING-PLACES in CANAAN. 61 Separate History of Egypt, in Which All the Most Recent Results Will Be Taken Into Account

    HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. 61 separate History of Egypt, in which all the most recent results will be taken into account. HENRY GEORGE ToMKINs. Weston-super-Mare, N01Jember 16th, 1883. HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. V. THE CAVE OF ADULLAM, OR 0LAM, NOT NEAR AnULLAM, BUT AT KHUREITUN. JosEPHUs says this cave was near the city of Adullam, but William of Tyre identifies it with the well-known and often described cave of Khureitftn, four miles south-south-east of Bethlehem. I propose to show that, for once, mediooval credulity proves victorious over antiquity, ability, and the numerical superiority of its opponents. The explanation is simple enough : the Crusaders' rough practical knowledge of David's outlaw wants was a far more reliable guide than the subtler acumen of literary critics. The cave is named in two Biblical episodes. (1) "David departed thence (i.e., from Gath) and escaped to the cave (of) Adullam" (1 Sam. xxii, 1). (2) "Three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to Davi~, into the cave of Adullam ; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem" (1 Chron. xi, 15, 16). In 2 Samuel xxiii, 13, a copyist's error gives "in the harvest time " for "to the rock." Hence we learn that there was near the cave some conspicuous rock or eminence, as well as some hold or fortress. It seems to me that this same hold is referred to in the following passages :-1 Samuel xxii, 4, 5; 1 Chronicles xii, 8, 16; 2 Samuel v, 17; and just possibly 1 Samuel xxiv, 22.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In various parts of the world Fennel seeds Foeniculum vulgare has been used in a herbal medicine. The present study aims to shed light on fennel’s side effects in male rats in the weights , hormonal, histological changes and some of the physiological parameters of thyroid and testes. About 60 Spargue-Dawley albino adult male rats were daily fed with fennel pellet in three different doses (50, 100, 200)gm/kg bw for three different periods of time (10, 20, 30) days. After end of each experiment animals were weighed then it scarified for blood and tissue collection , blood collected by heart puncture then it centrifuged for serum separation and kept at -80oC to hormonal, biochemical analysis and some histological standards , then thyroid and testes were excised and fixed in neutral buffered 10% formalin for histological preparation. The results showed that increased doses of fennel consumption and treatment duration statistically caused Highly significant increase (p<0.01) in thyroid weights in experimental treated groups (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) while group (5 and 6) showed significant increase (p<0.05) compared to the control group. No changes illustrated in values of Thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) in all periods of time and in all concentrations of fennel in comparison with the control group.

    DNA Barcoding Reveals Limited Accuracy of Identifications Based on Folk Taxonomy

    DNA Barcoding Reveals Limited Accuracy of Identifications Based on Folk Taxonomy Hugo J. de Boer1,2,3., Abderrahim Ouarghidi4,5., Gary Martin5, Abdelaziz Abbad4, Anneleen Kool3* 1 Department of Organismal Biology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, 2 Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, The Netherlands, 3 Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway, 4 Faculty of Science Semlalia, Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, Morocco, 5 Global Diversity Foundation, Marrakech, Morocco Abstract Background: The trade of plant roots as traditional medicine is an important source of income for many people around the world. Destructive harvesting practices threaten the existence of some plant species. Harvesters of medicinal roots identify the collected species according to their own folk taxonomies, but once the dried or powdered roots enter the chain of commercialization, accurate identification becomes more challenging. Methodology: A survey of morphological diversity among four root products traded in the medina of Marrakech was conducted. Fifty-one root samples were selected for molecular identification using DNA barcoding using three markers, trnH-psbA, rpoC1, and ITS. Sequences were searched using BLAST against a tailored reference database of Moroccan medicinal plants and their closest relatives submitted to NCBI GenBank. Principal Findings: Combining psbA-trnH, rpoC1, and ITS allowed the majority of the market samples to be identified to species level. Few of the species level barcoding identifications matched the scientific names given in the literature, including the most authoritative and widely cited pharmacopeia. Conclusions/Significance: The four root complexes selected from the medicinal plant products traded in Marrakech all comprise more than one species, but not those previously asserted.

    The Leaflet Made a Trip Across to Rosedale (Bateman’S Bay) to See Anne Coutts

    T HE L EAFLET --- April 2018 Other news Whilst visiting Canberra in January, Jenny and Wallace Young The Leaflet made a trip across to Rosedale (Bateman’s Bay) to see Anne Coutts. Her late husband, Laurence, was Assistant Minister at No. 1069 Scots’ Church from 1994-96, and many members have fond April 2018 memories of their time amongst us. Late last year Anne had major surgery, but is well on the way to recovery, and sends her greetings to all. Anne Coutts with her rescue dog Charlie William Mackie, grandson of Gordon and Lois Taylor, has recently completed a major project for his Australian Scout Medallion (pictured). William will travel to Sydney in August for the presentation of the award, the highest in Scouting. Well done William! William Mackie with his Australian Scout Medallion project Welcome back to all those who have had holidays in Australia or further afield in recent weeks. As each edition of The Leaflet goes to print we are aware that some of our members are suffering from illness, both in their immediate families or amongst close friends. If you are unable to be with us rest assured that all members of the Scots’ Church family are held in our prayers, and we are just a phone call away if we can help.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan

    Three Conquests of Canaan

    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

Following on from our previous drawing, the Temple Mount during the Hellenistic and Hasmonean periods, we now examine the Temple Mount during the Herodian period. This was, of course, the Temple that is mentioned in the New Testament. Herod extended the Hasmonean Temple Mount in three directions: north, west and south. At the northwest corner he built the Antonia Fortress and in the south, the magnificent Royal Stoa. In 19 B.C. the master-builder, King Herod the Great, began the most ambitious building project of his life—the rebuilding of the Temple and the Temple Mount in lavish style. To facilitate this, he undertook a further expansion of the Hasmonean Temple Mount by extending it on three sides, to the north, west and south. Today’s Temple Mount boundaries still reflect this enlargement. The cutaway drawing below allows us to recap on the development of the Temple Mount so far: King Solomon built the First Temple on the top of Mount Moriah which is visible in the center of this drawing. This mountain top can be seen today, inside the Islamic Dome of the Rock. King Hezekiah built a square Temple Mount (yellow walls) around the site of the Temple, which he also renewed.

By Major-Gen. Sir C. W. WILSON, K.C.B., l).C.L., F.R.S. 1. General Remarks; 2. The City Walls in A.D. 70. 1. Gene"'alRernarks.-Before attempting to investigate the questions connected with the ancient walls of Jerusalem, some consideration of the general principles that governed the construction of fortifica- tions in early times is not only desirable, but necessary. Jerusalem was strongly fortified at all periods of its· history, but there is .no reason to suppose that there was anything unusual in the trace and construction of its walls. The defences of Jebus could not have differed greatly from those of other Canaanite cities; the walls of David and his successors, which Nehemiah restored, ,vere constructed probably in accordance with Phrenician systems of fortification; and the citadels and ,valls built ·by Herod the Great and Herod Agrippa were almost certainly Greek or Greco-Roman in character.
