<p> ( | <p> [[Running]] down the eastern side of the [[Jordan]] River and the [[Dead]] Sea was a narrow strip of territory that in New [[Testament]] times was known as Perea. It was part of the tableland area that originally belonged to [[Ammon]] and Moab, but after Israel’s conquest was occupied by the tribes of East Manasseh, [[Gad]] and Reuben. The region in general was popularly called [[Gilead]] (see [[Ammon;]] [[Gilead;]] [[Moab).]] </p> <p> In New Testament times [[Perea]] was occupied mainly by Jews. For this reason [[Jews]] travelling between [[Judea]] and [[Galilee]] often detoured across Jordan and through Perea, rather than go through the territory of the Samaritans. Jews commonly referred to the area as ‘beyond Jordan’ ( Matthew 4:25; John 3:26). </p> <p> Jesus at times visited Perea ( Matthew 19:1; John 1:28; John 10:40). He also visited neighbouring Decapolis, the other region that bordered Jordan’s east bank ( Matthew 4:25). (For a map showing the two regions see [[Decapolis.)]] </p> | ||
