Transcript w^ THE SOUTHERN BORDERLAND. whom there came one day some travellers seeking hospitality; but the people of the place did unto them a vile and horrible deed, wherefore the Almighty in his anger rained down stones upon them and destroyed them from off the face of the earth." The base and summit of the mountain are covered with large blocks of stone, to which the Bedawin point in confirmation of their tale. From this point a few hours' journey takes us to 'Ain el Weibeh, with its BIR ES SEBA', THE SITE OF BEERSHEBA. The ancient wells can still be traced, and two of them are serviceable; but the city has ceased to exist. In the distance may be seen an encampment of the Tiyaheh Arabs.

With this I am unable to agree, and prefer placing Kadesh at 'Ain Kadis, about forty miles farther to the west. The name Kadis is in meaning and etymology exactly equivalent to the Kadesh of the Bible, and the identification of this site is perhaps more important than any other in the region, as it forms the key to the movements of the Children of Israel after leaving
