| Summary: | Both ‘Bethany near Jerusalem’ and ‘Bethany beyond the Jordan’ have been excavated. The Byzantine church in the former was so sited as to facilitate access to the tomb of Lazarus, whose original kokhim form has been destroyed by a rock-fall. The village west of the church was occupied from the C6 BC to the C14 AD. Origen could find no trace of ‘Bethany beyond the Jordan’, but a site at the head of the Wadi el-Kharrar was occupied in the C1 AD. Despite competition from Ain Samieh, Taiybeh remains the best candidate for ‘Ephraim’.\n4207 Aussi bien «Béthanie près de Jérusalem» et «Béthanie au-delà du Jourdain» ont été fouillés. L’église byzantine du premier site y a été établie pour faciliter l’accès à la tombe de Lazare, dont la forme d’origine, en kokhim, n’est plus visible, du fait de l’effondrement du rocher. Le village à l’ouest de l’église a été occupé du 6e s. av. J.-C. au 14e ap. J.-C. Origène n’a trouvé aucune trace de la «Béthanie au-delà du Jourdain», mais un site à la tête du wadi el-Kharrar a été occupé au premier siècle de notre ère. Malgré la concurrence de Aïn Samieh, le site de Taybeh demeure le meilleur candidat pour «Éphraïm».\n4207 \n4207 |
