the high priest of the Samaritans. He
belongs to the tribe of Levi, who in an

until now His family has lived here
for more than 1900 years, and high

this man took the position at the age
of 10. his chldlcss uncle, the high priest
having died. That was 62 years ago,
and Jacob has been high priest ever

met Jacob here at Nablous. on the
site of old Shechem. within Il stones

not far from II farm which Abraham

sons Of Aaron by Elsheba. his wire.
The high priest tells me that these five
manuscripts were written only II years
after the lsraelites came into the Holy
Land, and that they are now 3,oIa years
old. They are the Oldest Bible manu-
scripts in existence. They were written
in the Hebrew of the times of Moses,
upon long sheets of parchment about
rolled upon three rods, each tipped with
n silver knob as big as Il teacup, and
they are so arranged that they can be
rolled and unrolled as they are read.
The ink is still plain. and the letters
