In the Bible, the term Negev only relates to the northern, semiarid part of what we call Negev today, located in the general area of the Arad-Beersheba Valley (Israel added LL).
According to the Book of Genesis chapter 13, Abraham lived for a while in the Negev after being banished from Egypt.[20] During the Exodus journey to the promised land, Moses sent twelve scouts into the Negev to assess the land and population.[21] Later the northern part of biblical Negev was inhabited by the Tribe of Judah and the southern part of biblical Negev by the Tribe of Simeon. The Negev was later part of the Kingdom of Solomon (in its entirety, all the way to the Red Sea), and then, with varied extension to the south, part of the Kingdom of Judah.[22]
In the 9th century BC, development and expansion of mining in both the Negev and Edom (modern Jordan) coincided with the rise of the Assyrian Empire.[17] Beersheba was the region's capital and a center for trade in the 8th century BC.[17] Small settlements of Israelites in the areas around the capital existed between 1020 and 928 BC.[17]
1,000's of years ago! THAT WAS TRUMP'S FAULT .... just ask Speedo and his band of Anti-Trump carpet baggers!!!
Plan B: They will blame the Russians. Several 1,000's of years ago Trump colluded with the Russians! Just ask Pelosi!
(The above is sarcastic criticism of the depth of ignorance that infects someone who pretends to travel to the "Holy Land" for "enlightenment"!
Unless Speedo's church group is exploring for the Garden of Eden. Oh, speaking of "walls"...
Walls were used in the Middle East a long time ago ... NOT TO KEEP PEOPLE IN! That's because "mean people" were killing each other, raping women, and stealing their shit a long time ago.
It hasn't stopped!
Someone go burn some flags and books, ok? It's cold any way.
