Description
This photograph of devotional candles was taken inside the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Hebron. The Cave of the Patriarchs (Ma'arat HaMachpelah) and the adjoining field were purchased—at full market price—by Abraham some 3700 years ago. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah are all later buried in the same Cave. According to tradition that has been associated with both the Book of Genesis and the Quran, the cave and adjoining field were purchased by Abraham, and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah, considered the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the Jewish people, are all believed to be buried there. The only matriarch missing is Rachel, who is believed to be buried near Bethlehem where she died in childbirth. This is an original unaltered photograph by noted Israeli artist ESTHER NEWMAN-COHEN.
