Connecting the dots to Adam and Eve... Well Almost


Decadency of the Inhabitants of Kousba

The descendants of Adam and Eve up to the Habeeb family were taken from the book, first published in Arabic by Isa Ma’loof of Zahle, Lebanon and translated into English and expanded by George Maloof of Texas (1992).

Hashim Abi Habeeb
Original Settler
Hashim Abi-Habeeb who was the original founder of Kousba from the Habeeb family, had seven sons. Three of the seven left the Village of Kousba. One went to Beirut, Lebanon, where his family is still known by the Habeeb name. Another went to Berj Sofita (Tower of Sofita), an area in Syria adjacent to the northern boundary with Lebanon where his family name still is carried on. The third son died leaving no child.

Habeeb Family Tree beginning in 1540, with Hashim Abi-Habeeb (base of trunk) and including his four sons who remained in Kousba (the four major branches) Farah, Faris, Obeid, and Antonius. The leaves on the tree contain the names of the 1977 generation living at the time the tree was painted. As is the custom in Lebanon, only males are listed on the tree. Females are considered as part of their husband’s family.

  3. My name is Thomas Farah. My father had to flee the land known to this day as "Son's of Farah" land that was given to Farah by God. And past down to the next generation of Sons of Farah since and even before Jesus Christ. As Christ and His Disciples spread a new gospel of love, forgiveness, and Salvation throughout Lebanon they would come to this land that was given to Farah for Him as a place to rest, a peaceful and beautiful place like no other place in this world, made and kept to His liking and prepared for His coming. It really was a special place "The Hidden Place" where Christ slept in comfort under the Great Cedars many, many, times. He walked through the fruit trees that to this day bearer much fruit, enjoyed the oil that came from olives from this land, His land. The land that was given to Farah and passed on to the next generation as their Birth Right as Sons of Farah. I am telling the Truth. Look for yourselves and you will see for the Deeds are there, still right their in the Land Registry of Lebanon. You will have to translate all of them for the Deeds to the land given to Farah by God were we made as proof of ownership long ago. But to God this was a covenant made of over 1000 acres to Farah. And is written in ancient Arabic. I am waiting for my family to welcome me back home, then God well pour out His Holy Spirit like never before across the Land of Farah and throughout all of Lebanon. It will be a Great Feast for all to come and eat until you are full. All God ask for you to come to this great feast is that you wash your hands. Leave all your worries and what troubles you at home. You don't have to think how much this great feast that He has prepared for you will cost because it is free. It will please our Host if you would bring another with you. But you do not have to call me as a matter of fact if it will distract you from enjoying this great feast and staying until you are completely full because the person you bring might have to leave early because he has other engagements so make sure he can stay. Better yet it's best that you come alone maybe next time you can bring a friend. Yes, there will be a next time you will see what I mean. Just come as you are and stay as long as you want and eat until you are completely full. What about prescription drugs with original Medicare you're allowed to take a break as a matter of fact it will be pleasing to our host if he sees that you are just taking a break but you are definitely staying to eat more because he knows once you eat of this feast you won't want to stop. Just come as you are and stay as long as you want and don't forget to wash your hands.
