The Desert Of The Exodus, Part 1: Journeys On Foot In The Wilderness Of The Forty Years' Wanderings (1871) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165109166)

The Desert of the Exodus, Part 1: Journeys on Foot in the Wilderness of the Forty Years' Wanderings is a book written by Edward Henry Palmer and first published in 1871. The book is a detailed account of Palmer's travels through the deserts of Sinai and Arabia, retracing the route of the Israelites during their forty years of wandering in the wilderness. Palmer was a British orientalist and explorer who travelled extensively throughout the Middle East in the late 19th century. In this book, he describes his experiences travelling on foot through the harsh and unforgiving desert terrain, encountering Bedouin tribes, and exploring ancient ruins and landmarks. The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a specific leg of Palmer's journey. He provides detailed descriptions of the landscape and the flora and fauna he encountered, as well as the customs and traditions of the Bedouin people he met along the way. In addition to his own observations, Palmer draws on historical and biblical sources to shed light on the route taken by the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. He discusses the significance of various landmarks and sites, such as Mount Sinai and the Red Sea crossing, and speculates on the possible locations of other biblical events. Overall, The Desert of the Exodus, Part 1 is a fascinating and informative account of one man's journey through a remote and mysterious region, as well as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and geography of the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
