The Kidron valley has accompanied the history of Jerusalem and the Jewish people for thousands of years. The Kidron brook starts north of the Old City, yet a significant part of its 34 km long route passes through the Judean Desert and flows into the Dead Sea near the settlement of Avnet. • Throughout ancient history, the Kidron brook had several essential roles in the daily life in Jerusalem: The Kidron brook formed the eastern border of Jerusalem. This can be learned from several events in the Bible. Over the course of many generations, thousands of tombs, caves, and tombstones were added here. This is the largest and oldest burial site among the burial sites in Jerusalem. • The combination of the prophecy in the book of Joel, chapter 4, according to which, in this place God will judge the nations at the End of Days, and the proximity to the Temple Mount, made the valley here a sought-after burial site since the First Temple period. The existence of the burial site east of the brook is a further proof that the Kidron brook was the eastern border of the city since burial that time took place outside the city limits • The brook roles are derived from its location, on the eastern border of Jerusalem. It was used for purposes that are not possible in Jerusalem, for example: burial, exterminating idolatry, uses related to impurity, including removing the temple's waste into the brook. • The Kidron brook is one of the large drainage basins in the eastern part of Jerusalem - a city whose water source and water conveyance systems to its storage pools were among the decisive factors that dictated the place of its foundation and the directions of its expansion. • For more information in English visit - https://historicalsitesinisrael.com/e... • For more information in Hebrew visit - https://historicalsitesinisrael.com/%... • Yehuda Holtzman
