<p> ("house of sweet water," or "house of leopards.") (See [[Bethabara.) | <p> ("house of sweet water," or "house of leopards.") (See [[Bethabara]] .) A [[Gadite]] "fenced city" E. of Jordan, "in the valley" beside Betharan ( Numbers 32:3; Numbers 32:36; Joshua 13:27). The Arabs calls the lower end of the wady Shoaib Nahr nimrin. The wady Shoaib (possibly the modern form of Hobab) discharges its waters into the [[Jordan]] near a ford above Jericho. By it tradition makes [[Israel]] to have descended to the Jordan. The [[Septuagint]] reads Bethanabra, almost identical with Bethabara. That this is the scene of John 1:28; Mark 1:5; Matthew 3:5, appears from there being abundant water, and its being near "the region round about Jordan," the [[Ciccar]] of the Old Testament, the oasis of Jericho, accessible to "Jerusalem and all Judea." But see for Conder's view BETHABARA. </p> | ||
