Jerusalem and the Mountains, Ravines, and Streams.
1And I went from thence to the middle of the earth, and I saw a blessed place ⌜in which there were trees⌝ with branches abiding and blooming [of a dismembered tree]. 2And there I saw a holy mountain, ⟦and⟧ underneath the mountain to the east there was a stream and it flowed towards the south. 3And I saw towards the east another mountain higher than this, and between them a deep and narrow ravine: in it also ran a stream ⌜underneath⌝ the mountain. 4And to the west thereof there was another mountain, lower than the former and of small elevation, and a ravine ⌜deep and dry⌝ between them: and another deep and dry ravine was at the extremities of the three ⌜mountains⌝. 5And all the ravines were deep ⟦and narrow⟧, (being formed) of hard rock, and trees were not planted upon them. 6And I marvelled ⟦at the rocks, and I marvelled⟧ at the ravine, yea, I marvelled very much.
