Jubb Yussef (Joseph's Well)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The ruins at Jubb Yussef ("Joseph's Well" in English, Arabic: جُبّ يُوسِف in Arabic, Hebrew: גוב יוסף ) in the Galilee are identified with the pit in Dothan, into which the Biblical figure Joseph was cast into by his brothers, later to be sold to a caravan of Midianites making its way toward Egypt (Genesis 37:22). For centuries, the site served as a crossroads on the Via Maris linking Egypt (Cairo), Syria (Damascus), and Mesopotamia. From the 10th century onward, it is mentioned as a landmark, a holy place, and a source of water for caravans. From the 13th century there was a settlement in the area, which is mentioned up to the 17th century. At the end of the 16th century, a small khan (or caravanserai) was built there.
