Mention is frequently made of the fords of the Jordan (
Joshua 2:7 ;
Judges 3:28 ;
Judges 12:5 Judges 12:6 ), 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 (
Genesis 32:22 ), and of the fords of Arnon (
Isaiah 16:2 ) and of the Euphrates (
Jeremiah 51:32 ).
