Types of Property Registration Part I:
Villages in which all properties were registered to individuals
Only six of Hebron’s fifty villages registered every property in the em/ak register under the
name of an individual or in a small partnership that rarely exceeded two individuals. These
villages were Sa‘tr (108 residences), Bani Na‘im (89 residences), Wadi Fukin (34 residences),
‘Artuf (29 residences), Nahalin (25 residences), and Jab’a (12 residences). In Bani Na ‘im alone,
1,549 agricultural-properties were recorded. The village’s entries covered forty-one pages,
more than ten percent of the registry book. These properties were varied: 1,296 entries of field-
crop lands totaling 11,465 dunams; 151 vineyard entries totaling 1,319 dunams; two garden
plots, together 7 dunams; 33 registrations of olive trees registered by dunam (121 dunams),
and 67 registrations of fig trees covering 280 dunams. As an illustrative example of ownership
patterns in these villages, we may consider the most populous and the least populous of these
six villages, Sa‘ir and Jab‘a.
Sa‘ir
Sa‘ir is nestled in a valley eight kilometers northeast of Hebron. In 1876, 746 agricultural plots
of village lands were registered to Sa ‘ir villagers and to people living in other villages: Shuyukh,
Halhul, and Bayt Fajjar, as well as to people from the city of Hebron. These properties totaled
