Shrubs in richness and variety abounded. Standing out from the mountain range at the northward
of the beautiful oasis amphitheater was the ’large single mass or small hill of solid rock’ which
Rowlands looked at as the cliff (sela) smitten by Moses to cause it to ’give forth its water’ when
its flowing had ceased. From beneath this cliff came the abundant stream. A well, walled up with
timeworn limestone blocks, was the first receptacle of the water. Not far from this was a second
well similarly walled, supplied from the same source. Around both these wells were ancient
watering-troughs of limestone. Several pools, not walled up, where also supplied from the stream.
The water was clear and sweet and abundant. Two of the pools were ample for bathing.”—ED.)
