| Summary: | E. Robinson's suggestion that Tell el-Hesi was a likely site for the baptism of the Ethiopian Eunuch quickly eclipsed the traditional site of the event near Hebron for biblical scholars and continues to receive notice even from interpreters who do not believe Acts provides sufficient geographical information to locate the setting for the story. Robinson's conjecture has survived because it responds to subtle clues in the text of Acts 8 and now finds additional support from recent research on the Roman road system in Palestine. La proposition de E. Robinson que Tell el-Hesi est un site plausible pour le baptême de l'eunuque éthiopien a vite éclipsé le site traditionnel de l'événement près de Hébron pour les érudits de la Bible, et continue à être remarquée même par ceux qui ne croient pas que les Actes des Apôtres fournissent de renseignements géographiques suffisants pour localiser le site du récit. La supposition de Robinson a persisté parce qu'elle répond à des indices subtils du texte de Actes 8 et bénéficie maintenant de l'appui supplémentaire de recherches récentes sur le système des voies romaines en Palestine. |
