Cove of the Sower

This could have been the place where Jesus taught from a boot. An acoustical study of the cove was done by B. Cobbey Crisler and is published as "The Acoustics and Crowd Capacity of Natural Theaters in Palestine" in Biblical Archaeologist Dec 1976, pp. 128-41. He concludes that 5,000-7,000 people could fit in the area below the road. More than double that could fit in the entire area of the hillside.
