Inhabitants or natives
Deserted place.
Description
"[...] a gorge between the hills, which stretch in parallel lines, I would say, from the lake westward. A small but very noisy foamy stream runs down between one rocky rugged hill and the next one, which is so steep that it resembles a fjord. Above the stream there is the wild mountain with ugly looking plants, which have grown in all directions, wherever they could, in the crevices between stones. A very narrow steep path climbs up the more rugged hill. And Jesus takes it."[1]
Notable facts
It is the place of retreat before the selection of the Apostles.[2]
