Residents of the land of Israel (as opposed to those of Babylonia) Explanation: Bene Ma‘arava [literally, "sons of the west"] is a standard Aramaic term for the residents of the land of Israel, as opposed to the residents of Babylonia, who are referred to as Benei Midhnaha ["sons of the east"]. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2007-02-06 19:39:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also, Risumeh is Aramic for "its record"and thus 'מפי בני מערבא' על דרכי רישומה של מסורת המקומות הקדושים בארץ–ישראל בימי הביניים means "from what the residents of the land of Israel say according to the methods of its record of the tradition of [the identity of] the holy places in the land of Israel in the Middle Ages" |
