Several market people came to salute, who knew that we had no hand in the massacre, as we are a different people from the Arabs.

In going and coming they must have a march of 25 miles with loads so heavy no slave would carry them.

Ezekiel says that the Most High put His comeliness upon Jerusalem: if He does not impart of His goodness to me I shall never be good: if He does not put of His comeliness on me I shall never be comely in soul, but be like these Arabs in whom Satan has full sway--the god of this world having blinded their eyes.

The path runs along the top of the ridge, and we see the fine country below all spread out with different shades of green, as on a map.
