At present, Israel obtains
about one-half of its oil
from the Abu Rodeis oil
fields in the Sinai Penin-
sula, which was occupied
during the Six-Day War.
The recovery of these oil
fields is one of Egypt's prin-
cipal objectives. And Israel
is, understandably, quite
reluctant to give them up,
since the oil to be found
within the pre-1967 bounda-
ries of Israel is negligible.
According to the Encyclo-
paedia Judaica, a petroleum
product that was known in
ancient Israel was asphalt,

Prof Hits Israeli -
Embassy in U.S.
DEXTER OAUISON
TEL AVIV (ZINS) —
Prof. Hans Morgenthau
rated the performance of
the embassy in Washington
as unsatisfactory. He has
especially critical words to
say about the handling of
public information.
The professor also dis-
closed that Ambassador
Dinitz was dubious that 76
U.S. senatorial signatures
could be obtained on a letter
in Israel's behalf to Presi-
dent Ford.
According to Morgen-
thau, Dinitz was under the
impression that he got from
Henry Kissinger that the
climate in Congress was not
in Israel's favor.

Role of Teraphim in Bible
The teraphim are both
condoned and condemned in
biblical writing.
The Hebrew word "ter-
aphim" means "household
gods," figurines which ob-
viously were small and port-
able since Rachel managed
to hide them in a camel cu-
shion (Gen. 31:34). -
On the other hand, the
fact that Michal could de-
ceive her father's messen-
gers by leading them to be-
lieve that the teraphim on
the bed were David's figure,
makes it seem that some
were of considerable size (I
Sam. 19:13).
The idea that possession
of the household gods was
in some way connected
with rights to property
inheritance has found
widespread acceptance.
Apart from the household
gods already discussed, a
different sort of teraphim is
encountered in the Bible:
their place is not in the
home but in the sanctuary
and they were used by the
Israelites in cultic ritual.
Teraphim were employed
in divination in the period of
the Judges (Judg. 17:5;
18:17), like the divining
