ISRAEL AND SCOTLAND …ABER AND ABEL
In Hebrew the word Abel means meadow .Yet what it is interesting about some towns in Scotland and parts of England , is that they bear the name Aber-
1.Aber-ystwyth
2. Aber- Deen
3.Aber-Dare
For in the book of Genesis the place where Jacob was buried was called Abel-Mizraim meaning the mourning of the Egyptians since Abel also means mourning in Hebrew .Yet it also means meadow or fields as meadows are quite common in the United Kingdom.
