Jacob's Well
Jacob's Well ( ar, بِئْر يَعْقُوب, Biʾr Yaʿqūb; gr, Φρέαρ του Ιακώβ, Fréar tou Iakóv; he, באר יעקב, Beʾer Yaʿaqov), also known as Jacob's fountain and Well of Sychar, is a deep well constructed into the bedrock that has been associated in religious tradition with Jacob for roughly two millennia. It is situated inside an Eastern Orthodox church and monastery, in Balata village on the outskirts of the Palestinian city of Nablus in the West Bank.Bromiley, 1982, p. 955.Hastings and Driver, 2004, pp. 535–537. Religious significance Bromiley (1982) claims that Jewish, Samaritan, Christian, and Muslim traditions associate the well with Jacob, but only mentions examples of Christian pilgrimage and Western research. Samaritan and Christian interest in the site is supported by Gurevich & Harani (2017), who refute any Jewish interest in it. There is no reference yet in this article apart from Bromiley in favour of Muslims associating the we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jacob's Well, Bristol
Jacob's Well in Cliftonwood, Bristol, England is an early medieval structure incorporated into a 19th century building on the corner of Jacob's Wells Road and Constitution Hill. It is thought to be a Jewish ritual bath. The stone structure is built round a natural spring and on a lintel there is an inscription that includes Hebrew characters. It was initially suggested that these might form part of the Hebrew word ''zochalim'', "flowing". Following the well's rediscovery in 1987, the archaeologists involved in its survey suggested that the well might be a mikveh or Jewish ritual bath. They noted that the small chamber 'filled with clear water issuing from a fissure in the rock, at a constant 53 °F, and left from another opening feeding the presumed conduit.' The temperature reference has led some to characterise it as a 'hot spring'. However, 53 °F (12 °C), is close to average for groundwater in the UK (10 °C-11 °C). The interpretation of the w ...
