Israel tour 02 Negev

This video is one of several that can provide an overview of Israel and the Bible stories that happened in a particular region. For more videos like this one, search for “Israel Tour.” The Negev Desert dominates the southern half of Israel and spills over into the Sinai Peninsula. Much of the Sinai and the wilderness areas of modern-day Jordan look like the Negev too. Few people can live in the Negev, even today. That makes it all the more remarkable that Moses led such a large group through the wilderness for so many years. Elijah fled from Jezebel, finally coming to an exhausted stop in the northern portion of the Negev, a day’s journey south of Beersheba. The Negev is a place where God taught his people to trust Him, whether they were new in their faith or whether they were as seasoned a prophet as Elijah. The red lines in this video represent the intercontinental highways that connected Africa, Europe, and Asia.
