Jerusalem: Gihon Spring
Jerusalem. Many generations have left their footprints on the thirty two steps leading to the cave in the Jehoshaphat Valley where the waters of the Gihon spring collect. The spring water, was used for religious rites and healing purposes. It is mentioned in Genesis 2:13 as one of the four rivers that flowed out of the Garden of Eden. Here Solomon was anointed king of Israel (I Kings 1:38).
