ARAFAH, the ninth day of the laſt month of the Arabic year, named Dhoubeegiat; on which the pilgrims of Mecca perform their devotions on a neighbouring mountain called Arafat. The Mahometans have a very great veneration for this mountain, becauſe they believe that Adam and Eve, after they were baniſhed out of Paradise, having been ſeparated from each other during 120 years, met afterwards on this mountain.
