What reading level is Sinai And Palestine, in Connection With Their History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In their prostrations at the elevation of their revered copy of the "Pentateuch." they throw thenaselves on their faces in the direction, not of Priest or Law, or any object within the building, but obliquely towards the eastern summit of Mount Gerizim. And up the side of the mountain, and on its long ridge, is to be traced the pathway by which they ascend to the sacred spots where they yearly celebrate, alone of all the Jewish race, the Paschal Sacrifice.^ 6. One more scene remains which suppl...ies to this j^eov* portion of Palestine associations like those which ^*"- Olivet and Bethany supply to Judaea, and which sums up in so remarkable a manner all the successive points pre- sented in the history of Shechem, that often as it has been depicted, it must be briefly told again. At the mouth of the Valley of Shechem, two slight breaks are visible in the midst of the vast plain of corn — one a white Mussulman chapel ; the other a few fragments of stone. The first of these covers the alleged tomb of Joseph, buried thus in the ^parcel of ground' which his father bequeathed especially to him, his favourite son.* The second marks the undis- puted site of the well, now neglected and choked up by the ruins which have fallen into it ; but still with every claim to be considered the original well, sunk deep into the rocky ground, by " our father Jacob," who had retained enough of the customs of the earlier families of Abraham and Isaac, to mark his first possession by digging a well, " to give drink thereof to himself, his children, and his cattle."^ This at least was the tradition ' See note at the ead of the Chapter, * Josh, zziv 32.
