Chapter XXVI. Jerusalem and the Mountains

1. And I went from thence to the middle of the earth, and I saw a blessed place [in which there were trees] with branches abiding and blooming of a dismembered tree.

2. And there I saw a holy mountain, [and] underneath the mountain to the east there was a stream and it flowed towards the south.

3. And I saw towards the east another mountain higher than this, and between them a deep and narrow ravine: in it also ran a stream [underneath] the mountain.

4. And to the west thereof there was another mountain, lower than the former and of small elevation, and a ravine [deep and dry]

between them: and another deep and dry ravine was at the extremities of the three [mountains].

5. And all the ravines were deep [and narrow], (being formed) of hard rock, and trees were not planted upon them.

6. And I marveled [at the rocks, and I marveled] at the ravine, yea, I marveled very much.
