JEWISH COBBLERS REPAIRING SHOES FOR ARABS NEAR MOSUL, MESOPOTAMIA 

 The wanderings of the children of Israel in the desert were no greater than those of their fathers. When 

 Abraham was still a young man he journeyed with his father to Haran, where he dwelt for a period. From 

 there he went into Canaan, only to be driven by famine into Egypt, from which place he later was banished. 

 He went back to Canaan and famine again overtook his people in the days of his grandson Jacob, and 

 once more brought them to Egypt, whence they were forced to return to Canaan a third time by the 

 exactions of the Pharaoh who knew not Joseph.
