To the east was the long tongue of land which, running out of the watershed, formed the sloping ridge of Moriah, and terminated in the narrow spur of Ophel, enclosed between the Tyropceon on the west and the Kedron on the east. On the west of the Tyropceon a second spur ran out to a narrow neck of high ground between the head of that valley and the top of the western boundary, or Valley of Hinnom. From this isthmus the ridge again swelled out into the high, broad hill almost isolated by the deep natural trenches which surrounded it, forming the strongest part of the town--the upper city. A narrow ravine, which had its head north of the city, joined the Tyropceon just where it swept round southwards below Moriah. This ravine, afterwards filled up, bounded on the east the little knoll of rock which stood immediately north of the large hill of the upper city--a knoll higher than the crest of Moriah, but commanded by the mountain south of it. The head of the Tyropceon was so broad that it formed a hollow theatre between the knoll of Millo and the upper city, and the houses which were built...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
