Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "You can see that this mosque with its the followers of Mohamed may enter them. Tradition declares that in the cave under the court of that mosque were laid the bodies of Abraham and Sarah, of Issac and Rebekah, of Leah and the mummified form of Jacob. It may be that in some revolution the power of the Turk may be broken; and that cave may give up the mummy of Jacob, as caves in Egypt have given up the forms of great conquering kings, Seti and Rameses."
