    PLANTS OF THE BIBLE (2).

    Did you know that The general features of the climate have been similar since the days of the patriarchs. We may gather this from the many references to the seasonal rain (Leviticus 26:4) - the "early" and the "latter" (e.g. Deuteronomy 11:14; Jeremiah 5:24; Hosea 6:3); to the frequent droughts (e.g. 1 Kings 17; Amos 4:6-7); to the grateful mention of the "dew" (Deuteronomy 32:2; 2 Samuel 1:21; 17:12; Micah 5:7, etc.); to the repeated mention of the most characteristic plants-the olive and fig, the vine and almond, the oak and the terebinth. As an outside example we may compare the glowing description by Josephus (AD70-80) of the extraordinary fertility of Galilee, Samaria, And Judea: for their soil is universally rich

    and fruitful, and full of the plantations of trees of all sorts, insomuch that it invites the most slothful to take pains in its cultivation, by its fruitfulness; accordingly, it is all cultivated by its inhabitants, and no part of it lies idle. Moreover, the cities lie here very thick, and the very many villages there are here are every where so full of people, by the richness of their soil, that the very least of them contain above fifteen thousand inhabitants. (From Josephus: Wars of the Jews Bk3, ch3)
