Mount Precipice - The Video Bible Dictionary

Disclaimer: This is our first run at the Video Bible Dictionary, we'd love your feedback, so please leave a comment.
Suffering from jetlag I was up and awake several hours earlier than I'd normally be, which is why I was able to capture this stunning sunrise over Mount Precipice. I'd been here a few times, but it was either too busy or too windy, however at 5am there's no-one around (other than a very friendly cat who followed me everywhere) and the weather, while a little windier than I'd have liked, was just about ok to send the drone up. This has to be one of my favourite videos, the light is just stunning! This was filmed on location in Nazareth, Israel.

Transcript:
"Mount Precipice
Mount Precipice is a tall hill near the city of Nazareth in northern Israel.
It's also called "Mount of Precipitation" because it's really steep on three sides, like a cliff.
It is approximately 365 metres high and overlooks the Jezreel Valley.
Mount Precipice is made up of layers of limestone and chalk, and there are caves in the rock.
In the bible, Jesus went to a synagogue near Mount Precipice and taught the people.
The people got angry and tried to throw him off the hill, but Jesus was able to get away safely."

What is the Video Bible Dictionary?
How do you explain what a desert wilderness is to someone who’s only ever lived in a jungle? Or how can a person understand what a winnowing fork is when they’ve never seen one?
The Video Bible Dictionary is an ambitious project to film items, objects and places mentioned in the Bible which will be collated into a single resource (a dictionary of sorts) to help people understand and read the Bible; basically what the things and places in the Bible really look like.
Who’s it for?
The primary audience is for Oral Preference Learners, however everyone and anyone will benefit from a more literal understanding of actual places and items from the Bible.
What’s an Oral Preference Learner?
A person who prefers to listen, learn and pass on information orally rather than through reading (most of us, right?). This ‘person’ finds context critical in understanding the world around them, hence every video in the Video Bible Dictionary will show the item, object and place in context of a person.
By way of an example; do you remember those old school textbooks which showed a silhouette of a dinosaur with a silhouette of a person standing next to them? It gave you an understanding of how big the dinosaur was compared to a person, right? This is the same thing.
Why do this?
The Video Bible Dictionary is part of a larger project to provide a resource to support the local church around the world as they teach and share Jesus with those who have yet to hear about Him.
Who do you work for?
This project is being produced by SRV in partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators and ETEN (short for ‘Every Tribe Every Nation’).
Who am I?
My name is Mark Murfitt, I live in the UK and it’s my privilege to produce and direct these videos as well as to oversee the script writing and media production for this project.
Is something like this really necessary?
Absolutely.
For many people, in both developed and developing countries, much of what we’re videoing isn’t known, understood or believed to actually be real.
