Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 38

Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 38: October 15, 1903 Jewish traditions relate that the start ing of the caravan for Palestine was extremely joyous. Zerubbabel and Joshua, the high priest, and ten other leaders, marshalled the company in twelve divisions. An escort oi ten thousand cavalry accompanied them across the desert to protect them against the prowling Arabs. The rich rode horses; the aged, the children, and delicate women rode camels; but the fact that there were only beasts of carriage to people shows that most Of the caravan marched on foot. In the front, where the ark of the covenant was carried in the first ex odus, were carried the sacred vessels of the temple.
