Where is it mentioned in the work?[edit | edit source]
There is only one mention of this village in the work. A shepherd offers hospitality to Jesus and the Apostles on their return from a pilgrimage to Mount Nebo. “'And you are very tired, Rabbi?' 'Tired, Yes. We were allowed neither hospitality nor rest since Nebo.' 'Then… I wanted to tell you… I am near ancient Betagla…' 'Let's go.'” (...) “The man gathers the herd and leads them towards the village which must be northwest of the place where they are at the moment.”[1] Saint Jerome identifies Beth Hogla with the place called Goren Atad (Gn 50:10) about 5 km east of Jericho. The Ain el Hadjla (the partridge spring), which flows 3 km west of the river, attests to this place where Meistermann claims to have discovered, in 1907, the remains of the ancient village. Maria Valtorta’s indications exactly corroborate this location.[2]
