Joseph’s Tomb.—In the very centre of the valley's mouth, a short distance N. of the well, is a little square area enclosed by a high white wall, and having a common Muslem tomb placed diagonally across the floor—this is the traditional tomb of Joseph. There is nothing about it to interest one, or to give evidence of antiquity; yet it is most probably genuine. Joseph on his death-bed “took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.” (Gen. 1. 25.) “And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem.” (Josh. xxiv. 32.)
