- See The Holy City, 1949 and cover. "Descending the eastern slopes of the Bethlehem Mount, we come to Beit Sahour, which Christians call the Village of the Shepherds. Beyond the village is the land that recalls memories of the generous Boaz and the comely Ruth. In the spring time the hills and plains are green with waving corn, but in the summer, after the harvest, the land is arid and sun-parched. Water is conserved in huge underground cisterns or wells and scooped up from below with line and leather bucket. The barley harvest is finished sometimes before the wheat harvest begins; thus Ruth gleaned 'unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest'".
