Tent

The Beduin have not changed their style of living since Jabel, son of the nomad warrior Lamech, was designated `the father of such as dwell in tents` (Genesis iv,20).. They call their rectangular tents `houses of hair` because these are made of strips of cloth, woven of goat`s or camel`s hair. The men gather round the large common dish, eating their frugal dinner of boiled rice. An early photograph.
