Ascent of Beth-horon
The biblical "way of Beth-horon", also known as "the ascent of Beth-horon", is a pass which ascends from the plain of Aijalon (now Ayalon-Canada Park) and climbs to Beit Ur al-Tahta (1,210 ft.). It then ascends along the ridge, with valleys lying to north and south, and reaches Beit Ur al-Fauqa (2,022 ft.). Al-tahta means 'the lower', and al-fauqa (fawqa) means 'the upper' in Arabic.
