| Hebron, one of the most ancient cities, is located south-west of Jerusalem on the main road to Beersheba. The Bible tells that Abraham made his home near Hebron and upon the death of his wife Sarah, he purchased a burial cave that today is known as the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron. "And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same in land of Canaan." (Genesis, Chapter 23:17) "The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron and thirty three years in Jerusalem." ( 1st Kings, Chapter 2:11). |
