Israel: Day 2, Ein Avdat

Ein (Hebrew): Eye 



I found this desert ravine to be absolutely beautiful.


When a location has the word "Ein" in the name, it means there is (or was at one time) a stream or creek or some form of running water. The word-picture with it is that, just as tears flow from an eye, so does the water flow from the rocks.

In the parallel itself...
"But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green." 
(Biblical reference: Jeremiah 17:7-8)


And thus, we hiked from the bottom of the ravine to the top of the cliff...
