The exact year was from 1267, when the Mamluks took over and forbade Jooos! access to the shrine, except up to the 7th Step, where tradition has it that Nachmanides (Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman) is buried. Ironically, the actual cave in which the Patriarchs is buried is just a short distance from, and on the same height as, that 7th step. So they “banned” us from the shrine and brought us closer to our fathers’ and mothers’ actual resting place.
