Join your tour guide, Abigail, on this week’s episode of The Virtual Voyage to understand how Abraham was nearly willingly tricked in Hebron thousands of years ago, the significance of God’s presence among His people, the nation of Israel, and why people would continually build new cities on top of old ones (what we refer to as a “Tel”).

It’s all possible from your comfort zone!
