Acacia Tree

And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 

Exodus 25:10

The ark and other furniture items in the Tabernacle in the Wilderness were made with shittim wood, which came from the acacia tree, pictured here. 

Timna - Tabernacle Model

For us, this was the Timna's crowning glory. A replica of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. 

    

Timna - Rock Drawings

This is said to be an ancient Egyptian rock drawing. Hmmm.



This is an illustration of a portion of the rock wall. There are hunters with lassos and boomerangs hunting ibexes and ostriches. There are also chariots harnessed to ibexes. 

Bill tried his hand at rock drawing.

That's pretty good, if you ask me. 

Even better!  :)

Timna - Landscape

Timna is intimidating, hot, and dry. But, like any desert, it has its beauty. What struck me most was the stillness. You could wander among these sand-covered rocks for miles and still be in awe of its grandeur. 

Timna - Spiral Hill

Another amazing rock formation.
