Beth-Abara
From BiblePortal Wikipedia
People's Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Beth-abara ( Bĕ Th'Ăb'A-Rah, or Bĕth'Ah-Bâ'-Rah ), House Of The Ford, a place beyond Jordan. John 1:28. The R. V. and some of the best manuscripts read Bethany for Beth-abara; possibly it was at Beth-nimrah, or Nimrîn; or, as Conder thinks, at ʾAbarah, a leading ford of the Jordan on the road to Gilead.
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary [2]
Place of the ford, a town on the east bank of the Jordan, where John baptized, John 1:28 . It was perhaps the same as Beth-barah, Judges 7:24; but the true site is unknown. Many of the best Greek manuscripts and recent editions have Bethany, also unknown, instead of Beth-abara.
