A reproduction of “David’s Crown,” decorated with five stones to commemorate the Biblical duel between David and Goliath was turned over here today by President Ehaim Weizmann to a special delegation from the Ministry of Religion. The crown will be placed on the Tomb of David on Mt. Zion tomorrow.
At the same time Premier David Ben Gurion presented to a second delegation from the Ministry of Religion a “bush” symbolizing the burning bush of the Bible which is said to represent the eternity of Israel. The bush will be planted near David’s Tomb.
