They themselves were marched away in slave-gangs, but they left their Book behind them, safely hidden.

Be sure of it! Ten years ago I found a manuscript in the place they now call Nablus, which in those days was Schechem.

Schechem was the capital of the Kingdom of Israel, just as Jerusalem was the capital of the Kingdom of Judah, or the Jews.

I sold that manuscript for a good price after I had photographed it.

The idiots to whom I sold it--historians they call themselves!--value it only as a relic of antiquity.
