Description
This photograph was taken from Mount Precipice in Nazareth, Israel. The mountain in the background is Mount Tabor, also believed by some Christians to be the Mount of Transfiguration ( the mount where Jesus was transfigured ) .Mount Tabor is located in Lower Galilee, Israel, at the eastern end of the Jezreel Valley 11 miles (18 km) west of the Sea of Galilee. According to Wikipedia " The mountain is mentioned for the first time in the Hebrew Bible, in Joshua 19:22, as border of three tribes: Zebulun, Issachar and Naphtali. The mountain's importance stems from its strategic control of the junction of the Galilee's north-south route with the east-west highway of the Jezreel Valley. Deborah the Jewish prophetess summoned Barak of the tribe of Naphtali and gave him God's command, "Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun" (Judges 4:6). Descending from the mountain, the Israelites attacked and vanquished Sisera and the Canaanites".
