"It was the middle of December when, after wading all day across the southern flanks of Mt. Hermon, through snow knee-deep
for our horses, we descended below the clouds and the snow to the brink of the eastern mountain wall overlooking the upper
valley of the Jordan. It was a sight ever to be remembered, with the glistering peak of Mt. Hermon to our right, and the jagged
walls of the borders of Naphtali stretching across the horizon on the West, only a few miles away, while between and at our
feet were the green fields of the upper Jordan valley, through which ran the silver thread of the river, broadening out into
the expanded waters of Lake Merom. Over the plain could dimly be seen the black tents of the Arabs, and the husbandmen plowing
the fields for an early harvest. No wonder the spies were impressed with the attractiveness and fertility of the region."

The Harvest Season

"It is like a mustand seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;
But when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches,
so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.
