Entrace to Jacob's Well, Samaria

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Jacob's well is situated near Nabulous, along the highway from Judea to Galilee at the entrance of the valley between Mt. Gerizim on the left and Mt. Ebal on the right. Jews, Christians, and Moslims [sic] agree that this is the very well from which "our father Jacob drank."

 

The well has been made sacred by that marvelous conversation had there with the woman of Samaria (John4: 1-43). This is the only precise spot on earth which we may [be] sure was hallowed by his sacred presence and rendered memorable forever by his divine teaching."
