MISHNAH: How were they lighting the beacons? One brings long logs of cedar, and reed, and oil wood, and linen tow, and ties them with rope. He climbs to the top of the mountain, kindles the fire, moves forward and backward, up and down, until he sees his colleague on the second mountain doing the same, and so on top of the third mountain. Where did one light beacons? From the Mount of Olives to Sartaba, and from Sartaba to Grippina, and from Grippina to Hauran, and from Hauran to Bet Biltin. From Bet Biltin they did not move but he moves up and down until he sees the Diaspora like one fire place.

Rebbi Ze`ura said, that they should not think it was a star. Rebbi Yose said, did we see a star going up and down? Did we see a star going to and fro?

It was stated: The mountains of Machaerus and Gadara. Rav Huna said, when we ascended here, we climbed to the top of Bet Biltin and saw the [date palms of] Babylonia like thistles.
