THE LAND OF GOSHEN The Prince Seti and all his train, a very great company, came in safety to the land of Goshen, I, Ana, travelling with him in his chariot.

It was then as now a rich land, quite flat after the last line of desert hills through which we travelled by a narrow, tortuous path.

Everywhere it was watered by canals, between which lay the grain fields wherein the seed had just been sown.

Also there were other fields of green fodder whereon were tethered beasts by the hundred, and beyond these, upon the drier soil, grazed flocks of sheep.

The town Goshen, if so it could be called, was but a poor place, numbers of mud huts, no more, in the centre of which stood a building, also of mud, with two brick pillars in front of it, that we were told was the temple of this people, into the inner parts of which none might enter save their High-priest.
