When the excavators come to the tomb
Of Rachel they will be treading upon
ground long guarded against the an
proach of any man. When Edward VII.
as Prince Of Wales. went TO visit Pales
tine he was denied entrance to this tomb
on the ground that as Rachel had been a
woman it was wrong for man even TO
approach her coffin. But if she too has
been preserved by the ancient methods of
embalming, the world will be able TO see
the features of the woman for whom
Jacob labored fourteen years, and who
must have been to him at least the most
beautiful OF her sex.
When the excayators come to .Jeru.
salem they will hardly know how to
begin. or where, there are so many points
OF vital interest to the Jewish and Chris
tian world there. If they are trying to
trace the history Of the Jews they will
certainly dig at the reputed Tomb of
David to ascertain whether his bodv
is really there. According to I.-Kings tx.

was buried in the city of David" he must

If the Allies win, and the present plan

The ancient Hebrews we're most care

OF the first acts that Abraham performed

Rachel, the mother Of Joseph and Benja-
min. had died while Jacob was travelling
and had been buried near Bethlehem.
When Joseph died he made his
brothers swear that whenever they de-
parted from Egypt for Palestine they
would take his body with them and place
it in the tomb of the Patriarchs at Mach
pelah. 1t distinctly states in the very
last verse of the book of Genesis that
they embalmed him, and he was put in
coffin in Egypt" and in Exodus xiii,
10, We read: And Moses took the bones
of Joseph with him; for lie had strai,ly
sworn the children OF Israel, saying, God
will surely visit you, and We shall carry
up my bones away hence with YOU"
While there is no record OF the actual
interment of Joseph's body in the tribal
tomb at Machpelah it is generally &C.
