mount Olivet Mount Olivet, so called its abounding with olive trees, is situated east of Jerusalem, being separated from it only by the valley of Jehoshaphat and the brook Kidron. Josephus says it is five stadia, i.e, 625 geometrical paces from Jerusalem; and Luke (Ac 1:12) says it is a Sabbath day's journey, or about eight stadia distant, i.e, to the summit. It forms part of a ridge of limestone hills, extending from north to south for about a mile; and it is described as having three, or, according to others, four summits; the central and highest of which overlooks the whole of the city, over whose street and walls the eye roves as if in the survey of a model.
