33. How Wells Are Used

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Genesis 24:16
Listen from:
Genesis 24:16. She went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
The wells are usually approached by flights of steps, so that the women may dip their pitchers directly into the water. In some cases the wells are dug deep, and require a rope, or some simple machinery, for raising the water. See note on John 4:11 (#491).
