the Hasbany, and soon reach a remarkable mound or _tell_, from the foot
of which gushes out a stream of water so broad and deep that we may
almost call it a river. This is one of THE SOURCES OF THE JORDAN. The
mound above it is called the Tell-el-Kadi (_the Mound of the Judge_), a
rare instance of a name being retained not in sound but in meaning.
“Dan” in Hebrew, like “Kadi” in Arabic, means judge; and here stood the
CITY OF DAN. The history of the conquest is graphically told in the book
of Judges.[273] The tribes, finding their territory on the borders of
Sharon too strait for them, sent spies northward, who reported that “the
land was very good, a place where there is no want of anything that is
in the earth.” The Zidonian colonists, far from their mother city, were
leading lives of luxury and licentiousness; “they dwelt carelessly,
after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no
magistrate in the land that might put them to shame in anything.” The
warlike Danites burst upon them, stormed their city of Laish, conquered
the whole territory, and transferred the head-quarters of the tribe to
their new home. The exquisite fertility and beauty of the country
justifies the report of the spies. But, like Lot under a similar
temptation, they seem to have succumbed to the evil influences around
them, and to have sunk down into a condition of semi-heathenism from
which they never emerged. The mounds of ruins which mark the site of the
city show that it covered a considerable extent of ground. But there
remains no record of any noble deed wrought by the degenerate tribe,
and, as we have seen, their name disappears from the roll both of the
natural and of the spiritual Israel.
The other main source of the Jordan rises at the town of Banias, about
four miles from Tell-el-Kadi. At the foot of a limestone cliff is a
large cave, formerly dedicated to the god Pan, from which the modern
Arabic name of the town is derived. Several niches and dedicatory
tablets, with Greek inscriptions, cut in the face of the rock yet
remain. Masses of fallen rock and débris obstruct the entrance and bury
the actual fountain-head. From beneath these a stream rushes forth in
wonderful strength and volume. As at Tell-el-Kadi, it is a river at its
source. Only a few yards from the spot at which it emerges from its
rocky birth-place, I plunged in, and found myself out of my depth, in a
current so strong that it was difficult to swim against it. The torrent
rushes on over a rocky bed fringed with oleanders, past the ruins of the
ancient city, and soon is joined by its sister-stream from Tell-el-Kadi.
The Hasbany then falls into it a few miles above Lake Hûleh. The united
waters from this point take the familiar name of the Jordan, to pursue
their impetuous course till they are lost amid the arid shores of the
Dead Sea.
The situation of Banias is one of unusual beauty. Robinson speaks of it
as “unique; combining in an unusual degree the elements of grandeur and
beauty. It nestles in its recess at the southern base of the mighty
Hermon, which towers in majesty to an elevation of seven thousand or
eight thousand feet above; whilst the abundant waters of the glorious
fountain spread over the terrace luxuriant fertility, and the graceful
interchange of copse, lawn, and waving fields.” All travellers are
struck by the park-like character of the surrounding district. Trees of
great size and beauty stand in clumps upon the green turf. Innumerable
rivulets and waterfalls give vivacity to the scene, and justify the
epithet of Dean Stanley, who calls it “a Syrian Tivoli.” Massive remains
of Roman fortifications give to the modern village an air of venerable
dignity. The ruined castle of Es-Subeibeh, on the peak of Hermon just
above the town, is incomparably fine. Its situation, its extent, and the
magnificent views which it commands over the fertile plains of the Upper
Jordan on the one side, and the gorges of Hermon on the other, are
perhaps unsurpassed in the world.
[Illustration: THE SOURCE OF THE JORDAN AT BANIAS.]
Banias does not appear in Scripture under its present name. Robinson
suggests that it is the “Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount
Hermon,”[274] up to which the conquests of Joshua extended in this
direction. For us its chief interest is found in the fact that it was
the CÆSAREA PHILIPPI which formed the northern limit of our Lord’s
ministry, and the neighbourhood of which was the scene of His
transfiguration.[275] The monkish legend which placed it at Tabor is now
universally abandoned. The secluded valleys and gorges which run from
the very suburbs of the town amongst the spurs of Hermon afford a
fitting theatre for this wonderful manifestation. It was in sight of the
mighty mass of the venerable mountain that He proclaimed Himself to be
the rock upon which His church should be built. Surrounded by the
temples of Syrian, Greek, and Roman deities, with which the region was
profaned, He declared that the gates of hell should not prevail against
it. It was amongst these solemn solitudes that the voice was heard from
heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son: hear Him.”
There was deep significance in the time and place at which this
manifestation of Divine glory was made. It was, as we have seen, the
northern limit of His earthly ministry. It was, too, at the close of His
last missionary journey. Henceforward His face was “steadfastly set to
go up to Jerusalem,” for “the time was come that He should be received
up.”[276] He now commenced that pilgrimage southward of which the cross
was the foreseen goal. Step by step along the road by which we have
travelled He pressed onward, each step bringing Him nearer to “the
decease which He should accomplish at Jerusalem;” of which “Moses and
Elias spake with him” as they “appeared in glory.”[277]
The thoughts and feelings excited by a visit to Palestine, find apt
expression in the words of two authors, widely separated from each other
in time and in character. The first is a crusader, Sir John Mandeville,
deeply imbued with the credulity and superstition of the Middle Ages.
Writing more than five centuries ago, he says in the Prologue to his
‘Voiage et Travaille’: “Forasmuch as the land beyond the sea, that is to
say, the Holy Land, which men call the land of promise or of behest,
passing all other lands, is the most worthy land, most excellent, and
lady and sovereign of all other lands, and is blessed and hallowed with
the precious body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ; in which land it
pleased him to take flesh and blood of the Virgin Mary, to environ that
Holy Land with his blessed feet; and there he would, of his blessedness,
shadow him in the said blessed and glorious Virgin Mary, and become man
and work many miracles, and preach and teach the faith and the law of
Christian men unto his children; and there it pleased him to suffer many
reprovings and scorns for us; and he that was king of heaven, of air, of
earth, of sea, and of all things that are contained in them, would only
be called king of that land, when he said ‘Rex sum Judeorum,’ that is to
say, I am king of the Jews; and that land he chose before all other
lands, as the best and most worthy land, and the most virtuous land of
all the world.... See, now, how dearly he bought man, that he made after
his own image, and how dearly he redeemed us for the great love that he
had to us, and we never deserved it of him; for more precious goods or
greater ransom might he not put for us, than his blessed body, his
precious blood, and his holy life, which he enthralled for us; and he
offered all for us, that never did sin. Oh! dear God! what love had he
to us his subjects, when he that never trespassed, would for trespassers
suffer death! Right well ought we to love and worship, to dread and
serve such a Lord, and to worship and praise such a Holy Land, that
brought forth such fruit, through which every man is saved, unless it be
his own fault. Well may that land be called delectable and a fruitful
land, that was made moist with the precious blood of our Lord Jesus
Christ; which is the same land that our Lord promised us in
heritage.”[278]
The second is a writer living in our time and expressing the critical
and sceptical tendency of modern thought—M. Renan. He says: The
scientific mission, having for its object the exploration of ancient
Phœnicia, which I directed in 1860 and 1861, led me to reside on the
frontiers of Galilee, and to travel there frequently. I have traversed
in all directions the country of the Gospels, I have visited Jerusalem,
Hebron and Samaria; scarcely any important locality of the history of
Jesus has escaped me. All this history, which at a distance seems to
float in the clouds of an unreal world, thus took a form, a solidity
which astonished me. The striking agreement of the texts with the
places, the marvellous harmony of the gospel ideal with the country
which served it as a framework, were like a revelation to me. I had
before my eyes a fifth gospel, torn, but still legible, and
henceforward, through the recitals of Matthew and Mark, in place of an
abstract being, whose existence might have been doubted, I saw living
and moving, an admirable human figure.[279]
The superstitious crusader and the cold sceptical critic thus agree in
attesting the influence exerted upon them by “those holy fields.” The
devotion of the one is kindled as he visits the earthly abode of the
incarnate deity. The intellect of the other is convinced as he traces
the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth. To many of the readers of this
volume it may not be granted to gaze upon the spots hallowed by memories
of patriarchs and prophets, and apostles, and of our Lord himself. But
all may reach “the better country, that is, a heavenly,” of which the
earthly Canaan was but a type; all may share the vision and the
blessedness of “the New Jerusalem,” “the city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.”

By the same Author, and uniform with “THOSE HOLY FIELDS.”
Italian Pictures.
Drawn with Pen and Pencil. Profusely Illustrated. Imperial 8vo. 8_s._
cloth elegant.
“The more we turn over the pages of this book the more we like it. Italy
is the theme of a great deal of fine writing and fine painting, but the
plain descriptions and accurate drawings here really tell us more about
it than a library of inspired poems, and a gallery of ideal
painting.”—_Times._
“An extremely beautiful and interesting book.”—_Daily News._
“The result of keen observation and considerable reading, it is a very
charming volume. It contains, in an unusual degree, the information of a
handbook, and the attractiveness of a drawing-room album.”—_British
Quarterly Review._
“Not less interesting than was either of the corresponding
volumes.”—_Standard._
Spanish Pictures.
Drawn with Pen and Pencil. With Illustrations by GUSTAVE DORÉ and other
eminent
Artists. Imperial 8vo. 8_s._ cloth elegant.
“Another book about Spain, and a capital one: more distinctly calculated
to catch the attention of persons on the look-out for present-books, and
yet at the same time of solid merit.”—_Literary Churchman._
“The pen is that of the author of ‘Swiss Pictures’; one of the pencils
is Gustave Doré’s, and the others are not unworthy to be associated with
his. It therefore follows that the letterpress is pleasant reading, and
that many of the sketches are of the highest excellence.”—_Times._
“A most exquisite book. It abounds with illustrations (some by Gustave
Doré) of the most striking scenes, buildings, and social manners of the
Peninsula, and realises in a series of brilliant and attractive pictures
the romance, poetry, beauty, and inexpressible charms of the land of
‘Don Quixote.’”—_Daily News._
Swiss Pictures.
Drawn with Pen and Pencil. With numerous Illustrations by WHYMPER and
others.
Imperial 8vo. 8_s._ cloth elegant.
“In this third edition there are so many additions and improvements,
that this very beautiful volume is still more attractive and beautiful
than before.”—_Standard._
“Its numerous wood-engravings are all of great excellence, charming as
pictures, and admirable as examples of Art. The book contains an immense
amount of information, conveyed by the pen and the pencil; for the
author, too, has done his work thoroughly well.”—_Art Journal._
“In every way an attractive volume, one of the best works of the kind;
the present edition contains upwards of thirty new illustrations, and
has been carefully revised. It is an admirable gift-book, and very
cheap.”—_Record._
“It is enough commendation to say that the pencil is for the most part
Mr. Whymper’s, for he is surpassed by no living artist in the vigour and
truth with which he expresses mountain forms.... The ‘pen’ is
confessedly subordinate to the ‘pencil’; but it plays an admirable
second, not wasting its ink on mere reiterated expressions of admiration
or laboured descriptions, which never succeed in really describing
anything, but selecting choice morsels of historical association,
picturesque anecdotes of mountain climbing, and classical passages from
the great writers in prose and verse, who have illustrated the Alps by
their genius.”—_Guardian._
