  1. Interestingly enough, I didn't edit the photo. I used the photo I had labeled as his tombstone only to find that it isn't the photo I took while on Burial Hill. I don't know where this one came from but it was in my 1TB collection of tombstone images.

    The Hebrew inscription is located above the rest of the text on this side of the tombstone. Translated it says: "Jehovah is our help."

    Until I can find the image of the tombstone that I took that does show the inscription, here's a link to another blog that shows the Hebrew inscription:

  2. I was just here the other day and i think the last word on the stone in Hebrew is Chai or Life. Perhaps a better translation is Jehovah is our Life (?)
