(1) ‘Antiquity' means any construction or any product of human activity earlier than the year A.D. 1700.

(2) The law for the protection of antiquities shall proceed by encouragement rather than by threat.

Any person who, having discovered an antiquity without being furnished with the authorisation referred to in paragraph 5, reports the same to an official of the competent Department, shall be rewarded according to the value of the discovery.

(3) No antiquity may be disposed of except to the competent Department, unless this Department renounces the acquisition of any such antiquity.

(7) Authorisation to excavate shall only be granted to persons who show sufficient guarantees of archaeological experience. The Administration of Palestine shall not, in
granting these authorisations, act in such a way as to exclude scholars of any nation without good grounds. (8) The proceeds of excavations may be divided between the excavator and the competent Department in a proportion fixed by that Department. If division seems impossible for scientific reasons, the excavator shall receive a fair indemnity in lieu of a part of the find.

English, Arabic and Hebrew shall be the official languages of Palestine. Any statement or inscription in Arabic on stamps or money in Palestine shall be repeated in Hebrew, and any statement or inscription in Hebrew shall be repeated in Arabic.

conditions, provided that no action shall be taken which is inconsistent with the provisions of Articles 15, 16 and 18.

The Mandatory agrees that, if any dispute whatever should arise between the Mandatory and another Member of the League of Nations relating to the interpretation or the application of the provisions of the mandate, such dispute, if it cannot be settled by negotiation, shall be submitted to the Permanent Court of International Justice provided for by Article 14 of the Covenant of the League of Nations.

The consent of the Council of the League of Nations is required for any modification of the terms of this mandate.

This is theologically a very important chapter. The three men are called God. The sovereign actions of God are attributed to the three equally. So here we have the first clear revelation that God is three persons within the one Godhead. They exist as co-equal and co-eternal beings in
the one Godhead. The mystery is how the one God exists in three persons.

Orthodox Theologians agree that the Angel of the LORD, who appeared all through the Old Testament and ceased after the birth of Jesus, was the pre-incarnate Messiah Jesus, the Second Person of the Godhead. No doubt this is the phenomenon to which Jesus was referring when He said, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:56-58).
