Mention is frequently made of the fords of the Jordan (
Josh. 2:7; Judg. 3:28, 12:5,6), which must have been very numerous; about fifty perhaps. The most notable was that of Bethabara. Mention is also made of the ford of the Jabbok (
Gen. 32:22), and of the fords of Arnon (
Isa. 16:2) and of the Euphrates (
Jer. 51:32).
