Transcript THE SOUTHERN BORDERLAND. 197 •Miner within the sacred enclosure which formerly occupied the place of the present mosque well-built square stone erection, like the Kaabeh at Mecca, and is mentioned by the R deaux Pilgrim, ad. 333. Benjamin of Tudela, a learned Jew who visited it in 1160, A scribes "the great church of St. Abraham " as having been at one time a Jewish synagogue, RUINED WELY, HEBRON. On the rocky heights south of the city. Beyond the cemetery and olive groves the Haret esh Sheikh, the northern quarter of Hebron, appears. although the tombs of the patriarchs had been rebuilt by the Christians. Amongst others, he copied an inscription in Hebrew - characters which ran as follows: —" This is the tomb of Abraham our father, on whom be peace." The interior ot ^w the mosque is veiled in a mysterious gloom, the light only penetrating from the south side into the side aisles. But numerous lamps by night and day shed their light around, and throw a weird glitter upon the gold and silver ornamentation on the walls. The entrance to the mosque is most jealously forbidden by the Mohammedans to any but their fellow-worshippers; by special firman of the Sultan, an exception was made in favour of the Prince of Wales in 1862, the Marquis of Bute in 1866, the Crown Prince of Prussia in 1869, and the sons of the Prince of Wales in the present year, 1882. 87 /
