- The Rock at Horeb |
|
|
Behold,
I will stand before thee
there upon the rock in
Horeb; and thou shalt
smite the rock, and
there shall come water
out of it, that the
people may drink. And
Moses did so in the
sight of the elders of
Israel.
.......EXODUS 17:6

Precinct, these is an

| While
exploring the site in
1985 with Samran and his
work crew, they found
very large wells, with
just a few inches
extending above the
ground. There was
a line of these which
extended along the lake
bordering the "holy
precinct". |
