Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biblical Researches in Palestine, Mount Sinai and Arabia Petraea, Vol. 3: A Journal of Travels in the Year 1838 Wednesday, June 6th. Afternoon. In leaving Hebron for Ramleh, we decided first to turn our steps towards el-Burj, the place which we had been formerly prevented from visiting when at Dawaimeh. We heard many extravagant reports from the Arabs respecting it; so that it seemed of sufficient importance to be investigated. We were now ready to set off; but found great difficulty in obtaining a guide. Several persons offered their services; but as this seemed to be in Hebron a new species of employment, of which the price was not yet fixed or in any way regulated, they chose to demand at least threefold wages; apparently too without being well acquainted with the route. We offered the double of what we had formerly paid; which was refused. Knowing however that we should fall in with persons on the way, or at least should certainly be able to obtain a guide at Dura, we cut the matter short with the Hebronites; and loading up our animals, left the city at 1 o´clock alone. Our way led up the western hill, by the same path which we had formerly descended in coming from Dhoherîyeh. On the top, however, the roads separate; we took that leading to Dura, lying more to the right; and proceeded on a general course about W. by S.
