The Cave of the Patriarchs (Me’arat Hamachpelah) stands at the entrance to Hebron, an ancient city in the southern West Bank, 30km south of Jerusalem. It is the traditional burial site of four biblical couples - Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob and Leah.
These were the founders of the Jewish nation and the forebearers of Christianity and Judaism. As descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael, Muslims also hold the tomb sacred. It has long been a tradition to pray at the Cave of the Patriarchs for spiritual comfort, blessings, guidance, and mercy.
The Burial Site of Biblical Forefathers
The site features in the Old Testament, several times. In Genesis, we read how Abraham bought the cave and surrounding plot of land as a burial place for his wife, Sarah. Later he was buried beside her, and so too were future patriarchs and matriarchs. Caleb, one of the scouts sent by Moses into the Land of Canaan, stopped at Hebron to pray at the patriarchs’ tombs. The Cave of the Patriarchs is also mentioned in the Book of Zohar, as the gateway to the Garden of Eden.
History of the Cave of the Patriarchs, Hebron
The cave itself lies deep beneath the ground. According to legend, no one is known to have entered the cave and survived, except for Rabbi Azulai. 300 years ago, the Rabbi was lowered into the cave to retrieve the Turkish Sultan’s sword. The Rabbi came out alive, only to die a week later. In the 1st-century Herod built a structure above the cave with 6ft-thick stone walls.
The Herodian building has survived surrounding and protecting the cave to this day. At some point, a mosque was built within the Herodian walls. In 1100, Crusaders took over the compound, but less than a hundred years later, the site was once again a Muslim place of worship. Under Muslim rule, Jewish access to the cave was denied in the 1490s.
For about 500 years Jews visiting the site could only approach as far as the seventh step on the stairway leading to the compound. Despite this restriction, Jews continued to pray at the Cave of the Patriarchs. After the Six-Day War in 1967, the site fell under Israeli jurisdiction, and Jews could once again access the compound.
The Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs Today
The 1995 Wye River Accords gave the Muslim administrative body control of the southeastern section, including the cave entrance and the tombs of Isaac and Rebecca. On ten auspicious religious days a year, Jews are given access to the Muslim section of the site. The rest of the site is open daily to all visitors.
Visiting the Cave of the Patriarchs should be done with a guided tour, as it is in a politically vulnerable area. It is possible to visit the nearby Jewish community of Kiryat Arba, the Jewish Quarter of Hebron, or attend a religious service at the Cave of Machpelah synagogue.
Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs. This site is the resting place of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the Biblical founding fathers and mothers and considered the second-holiest place in Judaism. Some 4,000 years ago, the Patriarch Abraham chose this place as the burial place for his wife Sarah and purchased it and the surrounding field for 400 silver sheqalim, a huge sum of money in today’s terms. The massive and impressive structure atop the cave was built some 2,000 years ago during the reign of King Herod in the Second Temple period. This structure is the world’s only public building that has stood totally intact for more than 2,000 years and is currently in use for the same purpose for which it was built. It continues to serve as a memorial for the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, as a place of worship

For those who believe Jesus is coming back after all said & done a new heaven & earth👍. our world is heading towards the last days Jesus is KING Praise your holy name✌️❤️🙏
I Love the Lord because he first Loved me
I am a Christian, and first just want to thank you for taking the time to visit these sites. But second I think it's incredible to think like when I read the Bible I see these names and their stories. But seeing these sites makes it come to life, like to me it becomes very real. These types of videos make it so much more personal to me and my faith. And thirdly please stay safe and be well while making these videos.
Thank you very much
The Bible is alive. Look at what is going on
Absolutely❤@@SheilaTaylor-ok1lk
I’m sorry thank you so much for your videos they are incredible and so inspirational. You are a pleasure to listen to
Oh my father Jesus Christ you are only god in the world. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jesus Christ was the son of God, not God himself.
@@kennethbowen1818 Luke 7:48 jesus said "your sins are forgiven" to a women. only god can forgive sin there for jesus is god. Another example, When moses was at the burning bush and he ask god who are you he said i am and tell them my name is i am. John 8:24 jesus said "i said therefore unto to you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that i am he, ye shall die in your sins" there for jesus called himself and referred to himself as god, so he is god.
Thank you Jesus, you are the sin barer, you died for my sins that’s unconditional love for me. I appreciate everyday I get to wake up on this planet called earth. I feel very privileged to have played a part in your heavenly and earthy plan, I feel so important yet still so small in the grand scheme of things. You are massive, you’re my best friend, you have aligned the stars in my favor so many times, but this time I am ready to receive your blessings. 🫶🙏🏽
Amazing place 🌟 thank you Zahi for showing us this special and historical place ✝️

I visited Israel in 1995 and around the Holy Land including Syria and Jordon. Amazing places where Jesus and Paul traveled. Petra and Masada were amazing. I hope my son, Jacob, will one day be able to travel there also.

God bless and save Palestinian people too,Jesus died for them too,He died for all nations. Amin.
The Flood would have destroyed anything related to Adam and Eve.
Exactly!
I was thinking that too
I am a Christian, but is there any actual archaeological, historical or biblical evidence even that any of these people were actually buried here? Or is it just a tourist trap?
@@aaronkristo858 Well, another commenter made the observation that the flood, if there was one, would’ve taken care of anyone buried before it happened. In other word, they would’ve been washed away or at the very least, covered in thousands of feet of silt. This is a total gimmick.
@@aaronkristo858Yes many has used the bible and matched the places described in the bible. Theres lots of books on the subject. The youtube channel the association for biblical research is amazing.
Thank you so much Zahi for your wonderful tour of Macpelah!!! I felt like I was truly on tour with you. I hope you will start working soon. Be safe.

Wow this is amazing , really Adam and Eve tomb I’m in awe.❤
As @jessemorgan2009 pointed out, anything associated with Adam and Eve would have been wiped out by the Flood.

It is the location of the field that Abraham bought to bury his wife in and where his sons buried him, the site has been venerated from antiquity
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thankyou so much for directions Thankyou 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a beautiful blue sky, haven't seen a sky like that for a long time here in America since they started spraying us like bugs turning our skies a milky white color
UK is just the same... the sun shines dimly behind a silver grey veil..
Shaloom Zahi thank you for the tour,appreciate
Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah when his wife, Sarah, passed away. There are six people buried there: Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Leah. Rachel is buried on the way to Ephratha (Bethlehem). Since Abraham came on the scene many years after Adam and Eve, I would say that no, they are not buried there.
Wow you are so knowledgeable.I love reading your descriptions.Im surprised you havnt got your own tv show.Thank you and God bless🫂✝️🕊️🙏

Your fantastic
Thanks a lot 😊
Greetings Zahi! Where did you hear about this being the tombs of Adam and Eve? Not challenging, just wondering what your source is as I have never heard that before.
Also, Abraham purchased the cave as well as a field. Has the field been preserved?
May God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob keep you and your family safe.
It's refers to all the sages in Judaism of the Mishna, Toseftic and Talmudic eras, spanning from the times of the final 300 years of the Second Temple until the 7th century, or c. 250 BCE - c. 625 CE.
please stay safe
Thank you for this wonderful tour! I love Biblical history! Where is Rachel buried? ❤
Sadly all children of Adam and Eve have divided themselves (due to religious indifference)
Thus the building is divided unfortunately 😢

Imagine someday these patriarchs will rise from these tombs to reign with Jesus when he returns to Jerusalem
I was raised in a Christian family and I have Jewish friends but is this guy telling the truth? My boyfriend is a fourth Arabic Christian and I even think 🤔 he would doubt this because he went to the same school system I did
The truth is right there and people still do not believe.....????
I Love Palestine 🇵🇸☝🏼💚🇵🇸
Thanks Zahi. Do any of you know by any chance a lovely Jewish lady by the name of Chen, retired from the IDF living with her grandmother. If so please tell her that I am praying for her and all her family daily and I'm praying constantly for world peace. Thanks much appreciated. 🕊️🌹🇦🇺🙏💗 patiently awaiting the video.
Haleluja
Thank you for making this video very informative but with respect I do not intend to offend, it definitely a historic Beautiful building, and sacred to a lot of people, but I seriously doubt it is what it is claiming to be
Your video does not have any way to donate through it. Super thanks, etc, are not showing.
Ok
@@zahishakedTried again it was there this time. Thanks
🙏🙏🙏🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
God is Jesus, Amen
I would like to see Adam and Eve's burial place. It would be cool too. A lot of my maternal ancestors are named Havva, meaning they're named after Eve. Can you explain what Eve means in Hebrew please?
I would be seeing the literal places where a book's event occured or where a myth started just like the Aegean coast where Greek mythology was drawing elements.
All gravesites of those who lived before Noah and his family would have been destroyed by the Flood.
@@susanmcintyre5377 No such thing happened, probability is the same with Greek Gods being real
🙏🙏🙏🥰
I saw that you actually looked over the railing into the tomb: Do you think that green-covered thing is where Abraham is actually buried? And that his bones are in there? Well, I suppose archeologists would have already exhumed them if that were true, right?
When Herod built the structure in the 1st century AD he built the structure over the tombs. The graves themselves are about 9 meters below the grave marker. Unfortunately the Muslims do not allow us to dig the place. Fortunately, there is a record of archaeologists of the place, but it was done quickly and the truth on this matter cannot be reached yet. As of now, ancient bones and pottery have been found there
Thankyou so much tho im in Israel i still did not go to see the tombs of our biblical fathers and mothers 🙏❤
I never thought that the tombs of Abraham, Sarah and Isaac would be known. I thought it would have been lost to time.
It's amazing to see their monuments.
What about Adam and Eve though, didn't they get monuments?
Jesus is my lord n savior I wasn't born Jewish I was adopted n.
Wow amazing 🌟
this video would be awesome ❤
How were the bodies of Adam and Eve in the cave at Hebron after Noah's flood
I wonder why no one talks about how tall Adam & Eve were, they were giants at least 27ft high and lived well over 800 years old. Why do people not talk about this? We're mainly feed the politics of things to distract us from truth.
There are millions things to talk about, but this is not important for that video
@zahishaked well it should be... can you tell me why it's not important here ?
not important here?
Theres nowhere in the bible that states that they were giants. That's certainly not biblical. Now in islam that's a different story but islam is false
Adam and Eve’s Burial place I never heard about this existing, how did that survive Noah’s flood?
According to the Orthodox Christians they been brought to earth by God after the flood
