To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In two places the mountains here come down to the lake ; the rest is a beautiful and uncultivated plain — that rich and fertile " laud of Gennesareth, " which, for its combination of natural advantages — soil, scenery, chmate, temperature — is, perhaps, exceeded by no other spot on earth. In winter and spring this plain is traversed by numerous torrents, some of which are so large and rapid as not to be passed without difficulty. " Nothing can surpass the beauty and graiidcur of the surrounding... scenery, " says Elliot ; and he had travelled widely. The feathered tribes seem to make the lake a fixvourite resort. Multitudes of song-birds harbour in the northernmost groves, and their innumerable happy voices mingle with the rush of waters, where the river hastens to the lake. The margin and surface of the lake itself presents large flocks of storks, wild ducks, and diving birds ; pelicans are not wanting ; while here and there vultures are assiduously engaged with their carrion prey : or eagles, heavily flapping their broad wings, rise to their aeries in the mountains.
