Text Appearing Before Image:
round appear little mihrabs,or praying-places of marble, triumphal arches, kiosks, and minia-ture mosques. * There is plenty of vegetation : ancient and gnarled olive treesand cypresses stand out in relief against the sombre buildings,and forcing their way through the pavement are a medley ofspring flowers—marigolds, marguerites, the scarlet poppy, andmany others. It is a splendid tranquillity, dead and yet living,and the fierce sun lights up the whole of the Noble Sanctuary.The atmosphere, too, is not dead, but living; the muezzin ringsout, living prayers are being said ; it is also the Christian hour ofprayer, and where could one find a better place to pray than onthis great Esplanade ? . . . Here it was that Oman had histhreshing-fioor, and those wonderful events occurred whichare related in the first book of the Chronicles. It was afterDavids sin of numbering the people that a great pestilence fellon Israel, and an angel was about to destroy Jerusalem : * Jerusalem. Pierre Loti.
Text Appearing After Image:
THE FAITH OF ISLAM 143 And as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and he repentedhim of the evil, and said to the Angel that destroyed, It isenough, sta) now thine hand. And the angel of the Lordstood by the threshing-floor of Oman the Jcbusite. AndDavid lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lordstand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawnsword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. ... SoDavid gave to Oman for the place six hundred shekels ofgold by weight. And David built there an altar unto theLord . . . and the Lord answered him from heaven by fireupon the altar of burnt offering. And the Lord commandedthe angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheaththereof.^ Solomon, when he succeeded to the throne of David, constructedhis glorious Temple, and brought the Ark of the Lord out of thecity of David and placed it in the Holy of Holies. Thither thetribes came up, even the tribes of the Lord, to testify untoIsrael, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord. He
