R.
Binyamin from Toledo* travelled to Eretz Yisroel in the year 1170.
In his
travel diary on Meoras Hamachpeilah, he writes, “The Goyim built six
tombs and claim each one is for one of the Avos & Imahos.
They fool
the ignorant Goyim** and charge them money, to approach the tombs.
When
Yidden come there, and pay them money, then they open a metal
gate and allow them to go down a staircase which leads to another
staircase and then to a third staircase. In there is the
cave where the Avos are actually buried. There are six stone Matzeivos
engraved with the names of Avraham, Sarah, Yitzchok, Rivka, Yakov, Leah. (no Matzeivah for Adam& Chava) There arealso
many barrels filled with bones. These bones are from Yidden who
bring their dead, there so they can
be buried next to the Avos.

**Today,also ignorant Yidden believe so.
