MT NEBO AIN MUSA AND THE PROMISED LAND-WOULD THEY WANT IT NOW

GIVEN FORESIGHT OF SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS LATER AND THE TURMOIL AND BLOODSHED I WONDER IF A MODERN BUNCH OF LANDLESS ISRAELITES WOULD STILL LAY CLAIM TO THE PROMISED LAND VIEWED FROM THE HIGH POINT OF AN ESCARPMENT KNOWN AS MT.NEBO.THIS IS HALF WAY DOWN TO AIN MUSA.

BEDOUIN CAMP NEAR MOSES SPRING AIN MUSA.




WHERE MOSES KNOCKED A ROCK AND WATER POURED FORTH.A TRICK OFT REPEATED IN HIS WANDERINGS.





LOCALS DABBLING IN THE WATERS.







TODAY THE SPRING A SAD TRICKLE AMONG THE DETRITUS OF 21ST CENTURY LIVING.









MT. NEBO LOOKOUT.











NORTH TO SYRIA.













WEST TO ISRAEL.

































PROMISED LAND HIGHWAY.
