[59] "It is said by those who have visited those parts, that one remarkable effect produced is the changed aspect of the hills of Judah and Ephraim. Their monotonous character is lost; and the range, when seen as a whole, is in the highest degree diversified and impressive. And the wide openings in the western hills, as they ascend from the Jordan valley, give such extensive glimpses into the heart of the country, that not merely the general range, but particular localities can be discovered with ease.... From the castle of Rubad, north of the Jabbok, are distinctly visible Lebanon, the Sea of Galilee, Esdraelon in its full extent, Carmel, the Mediterranean, and the whole range of Judah and Ephraim. 'It is the finest view,' to use the words of another traveller, 'that I ever saw in any part of the world.'"—Stanley's Sinai and Palestine, p. 318.
