He spoke to the King of Egypt on behalf of Moses, asking him to let the Hebrews leave Egyp.

↪ Byblos also known as Jebeil, Jbil or Jubayl locally Jbeil [ʒ(ə)beːl]), is an ancient city in the Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate of Lebanon. The area is believed to have been first settled between 8800 and 7000 BC and continuously inhabited since 5000 BC. 

During its history, Byblos was part of numerous cultures including Egyptian, Phoenician, Assyrian, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Genoese, Mamluk and Ottoman. Urbanisation is thought to have begun during the third millennium BC and it developed into a city making it one of the oldest cities in the world, if not the oldest.


Ugarit was an ancient port city in northern Syria about 10 kilometers north of modern Latakia. At its height it ruled an area roughly equivalent to the modern Latakia Governorate. It was discovered by accident in 1928 with the Ugaritic texts. Its ruins are often called Ras Shamra after the headland where they lie.



Syria, officially the Syrian Arab Republic, is a country in West Asia located in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant. It is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east and southeast, Jordan to the south, and Israel and Lebanon to the southwest. 

The city had close connections to the Hittite Empire, in later times as a vassal, sent tribute to Egypt at times, and maintained trade and diplomatic connections with Cyprus (then called Alashiya), documented in the archives recovered from the site and corroborated by Mycenaean and Cypriot city.

Syria was once home to a substantial population of Jews, with large communities in cities like Damascus, Aleppo, and Qamishli, but due to persecution and the establishment of Israel, the Jewish population dwindled to just 100 people today.


Damascus is the capital and second largest city of Syria, the oldest current capital in the world and, according to some, the fourth holiest city in Islam. Known colloquially in Syria as aš-Šām (الشَّام) and dubbed, poetically, the "City of Jasmine", Damascus is a major cultural center of the Levant and the Arab world.

The city has a rich history that includes being ruled by various Islamic dynasties, and it became an important center for Islamic thought during the Seljuq and Ayyubid periods (ID: 4, ID: 12). Following the Mongol invasion, it became a provincial capital under the Mamluk Sultanate (ID: 13). In the 20th century, Damascus witnessed nationalist movements and was impacted by the French mandate after World War I (ID: 16). 


Dan While some conservative scholars hold that Daniel existed and his book was written in the 6th century BCE, most scholars agree that Daniel is not a historical figure and that much of the book is a cryptic allusion to the reign of the 2nd century BCE Hellenistic king Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

The Book of Daniel is a 2nd-century BC biblical apocalypse with a 6th-century BC setting. Ostensibly "an account of the activities and visions of Daniel, a noble Jew exiled at Babylon", the text features a prophecy rooted in Jewish history, as well as a portrayal of the end times that is both cosmic in scope and political in its focus.


River Jordan, also known as Nahr Al-Sharieat, is a 251-kilometre-long (156 mi) endorheic river in the Levant that flows roughly north to south through the Sea of Galilee and drains to the Dead Sea. The river passes by or through Jordan, Syria, Israel, and the Palestinian territories.

The Site is about 45minutes drive from Amman, and about 50 kms.to the west of Amman and 10 km. north of the Dead Sea. For the three past year and a half, the Jordanian Department of Antiquities has systematically surveyed and partially' excavated a series of ancient sites that collectively represent one of the most important archaeological discoveries in modem Jordan — the settlement and region of Bethany (or Beth abra), where John the Baptist lived and baptized. 

The Bethany area sites formed part of the early Christian pilgrimage route between Jerusalem, the Jordan River, and Mt. Nebo. The area is also associated with the biblical account of how the Prophet Elijah (Mar Elias in Arabic) ascended to heaven in a whirlwind on a chariot of fire, after having parted the waters of the Jordan River and walked across it with his anointed successor the Prophet Elisha. 

The Jordan River holds major significance in both Judaism and Christianity, as it is where the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land and where Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist.

The Jordan River consecrated jôr´dan ( ירדּן , yardēn , flowing downward; Ἰορδάνης , Iordánēs. The Jordan river proper begins at the junction of four streams (the Bareighit , the Hâsbâny , the Leddan and the Banias ), in the upper part of the plain of Lake Hûleh. 

Cross The Jordan River

The site of this Bethany east of the Jordan River is not to be confused with the Bethany near Jerusalem, which was the home town of Lazarus. John 1:28 explicitly mentions Bethany cast of the river as the place where John the Baptist lived and baptized ("...Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing") while John 10:40 mentions an incident when Jesus escaped from hostile Jews in Jerusalem and "went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized.

Sidon or better known as Saida is the third-largest city in Lebanon. It is located on the Mediterranean coast in the South Governorate, of which it is the capital. Tyre, to the south, and the Lebanese capital of Beirut, to the north, are both about 40 kilometres away.

The oldest testimony documenting words in the Phoenician language of Sidon, is also from this period. The Book of Deuteronomy (3, 9) reads: the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion. In other words: Mount Hermon was called Sirion, in (the Phoenician language of) Sidon.


Tyre In the summer of 2017 a Greek mosaic, five-metres long, naming Irenaeus as bishop of Tyre, was found west of the Sea of Galilee, in an excavation co-directed by historian Jacob Ashkenazi and archaeologist Mordechai Aviam. Since the inscription provides the date of the church's completion as 445, it gives credence to a date as early as 444 CE for his ordination.

In 1187, after Saladin's invasion, Tyre was the only city remaining in crusader hands and was at one point considered as the new capital of the kingdom. It lost that appellation to Acre, but it remained the site of the coronation of the king, and the archbishop was given the responsibility of officiating at the coronation.

From Origin

There is naturally no name in the New Testament for the complete body of Scripture in the Bible; the only Scriptures then known being those of the Old Testament. In 2 Peter 3:16 , however, Paul's epistles seem brought under this category.

Common Designations

For the Old Testament books by our Lord and His apostles were 'the scriptures.' (writings) (Matthew 21:42; Mark 14:49; Luke 24:32; John 5:39; Acts 18:24; Romans 15:4 , etc.),'the holy, scriptures' (Romans 1:2 ); once 'the sacred writings' (2 Timothy 3:15 ) into; 'the law, John 1:1 (holy), His writings are recognized in the expression in the law, of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms (Luke 24:44 ).
