How big is Palestine?

 

Beit Shean, from the acropolis
Looking down from the (much older) acropolis of Beit She’an (where the bodies of Saul and Jonathan were displayed after their death at the hands of the Philistines) upon part of the Roman-era city. We visited Beit She’an this afternoon.

“The word Palestine always brought to my mind a vague suggestion of a country as large as the United States. I do not know why, but such was the case. I suppose it was because I could not conceive of a small country having so large a history.”
