hill at the terminus of the plain
we reach the Monastery of Mar

well at which tradition says the
Holy Family once drank. The
Monastery derives its name from
its erection by a bishop called
Elias, and not, as a 13th century
invented tradition asserts, from
the connection ot the place with
the prophet Elijah as he stopped

Narrow, winding, and broken

1 -5, but positively disproved there
by. As Dr. J. M. P. Utts very
justly remarks: “11 the cause ot
• heir going to Bethlehem had been
simply that Joseph might be en
rolled for a poll tax, then it would
not have been necessary for Mary
to have gone with him. There
must have been an imperative de
mand for her presence also; else,
surely, Joseph would not have
brought her, in the delicate and
critical circumstances of her life
so far from her home. She must
have possessed a property in her
own napie and it must have been
an inherited property. The Greek
(apographsasthai sun Mariam)
means that both Joseph and Mary
* were enrolled. This registration
was under the Roman law, which
required women to be enrolled
only when they held a separate
property in their own names. The
property owned by Mary was pos
sessed and held in accordance with
the Jewish law. By this law a
daughter, when there was no son
in the family, inherited her father’s
! estate and held it as a separate
property after her marriage. This
also explains the difficulty in the
two tables of the genealogy of
Jesus, in regard to which Dr. J. H.
Kurtz says: ‘Joseph’s father, ac
cording to Luke, is Heli, but ac
cording to Matthew it is Jacob.
Among the many attempts to
explain this apparent contradic
tion, none seems more successful
than the one which produces the
result that Joseph became the son
of Heli by his marriage with Mary.
If Mary was a daughter capable of
inheriting, that is, the heiress of a
