Beit Jimal
Beit Jimal (or Beit Jamal; ; (アラビア語:بيت جمال / الحكمه))〔Beit el Jemâl, meaning "The house of the camel", according to Palmer, 1881, p. (286 )〕 is a Catholic monastery run by Salesian monks near Beit Shemesh, Israel. The monks identify the site with the Byzantine town of Caphargamala, and believe that a cave there may have been the tomb of St. Stephen or to have conserved his relics. An alternative suggests that the cave site may have contained a mikveh belonging to a wealthy Jewish family. The name Beit Jamal appears to preserve the toponym Caphar Gamala (Gamala Village), which in turn suggests a link to rabbi Gamaliel.〔
== Geography ==
The Palestine Exploration Fund's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' in 1883 described Beit Jimal (alt. sp. ''Beit el Jemâl'') as possessing a natural spring three-quarters of a mile to the east, while to the south were caves.〔Conder and Kitchener, 1883, p. (24 )〕 Natural brushwood consisting mainly of oak, buckthorn and mastic trees can be seen on the adjacent hill country lying to its south. To the east of Beit Jimal at a few hours' walking distance was the Arab village, Bayt Nattif. The monastery is located in the Judean hills next to the city of Beit Shemesh.
