SOJOURNERS
IN THE WILDERNESS OF THE NEGEV
So Abram went up from
Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the
Negev. Now Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
And he journeyed on from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where
his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, to the
place where he had made an altar at the first; and there Abram called on
the name of the LORD.
- Genesis 13:1-4

The Negev is a desolate, unpopulated
area comprising more than half of Israel. One can visit Abraham's well
at the Beer Sheva stream bed, see the Nabatean Spice Route used for
centuries by camel caravans, & if observant spot numerous wild life
& plants that populate the desert. |
