cured of sickness, for fear of defiling the roof. The I
Ka'abah, though small, can contain any number of
devotees ; no one is ever hurt in it, 1 and invalids recover
their health by rubbing themselves against the Kiswah
and the Black Stone. Finally, it is observed that every
day 100,000 mercies descend upon the house, and espec
ially that if rain come up from the northern corner there |
is plenty in Irak ; if from the south, there is plenty in
Yaman ; if from the east, plenty in India; if from the
western, there is plenty in Syria; and if from all four
angles, general plenty is presignified.

never used but in books. The former means " a concourse of people."
But why derive it from the Hebrew, and translate it "a slaughter"?
Is this a likely name for a holy place ? Dr. Colenso actually turns
the Makaraba of Ptolemy into " Makkah-rabbah," plentiful slaughter.
But if Makaraba be Meccah, it is evidently a corruption of " Makkah"
and " Arabah," the Arab race. Again, supposing the Meccan temple
to be originally dedicated to the sun, why should the pure Arab word
" Ba'al " become the Hebraeized Hobal, and the deity be only one in
the three hundred and sixty that formed the Pantheon ?
1 This is an audacious falsehood; the Ka'abah is scarcely ever
opened without some accident happening.
