Gilead, Jordan

Gilead, Jordan

Another view of Mount Gilead, where Jacob wrestled the angel. This photo also illustrates the terrain that people had to traverse on foot. Would you set out to walk from here to the other side of the mountain? I believe the terrain and the distances were one of the experiences that most enlightened my view of what the people of the Old and New Testaments faced as obstacles for spreading the Word of God.
