17<\/strong>. the Arabah also, and Jordan<\/em> for a<\/strong> border<\/em> ] The territory included the E. strip of the ‘Arabah hence eastwards<\/em> at the end of the verse with the Jordan as its W. limit, and this between Chinnereth<\/em> on the N. and the Sea of the ‘Arabah<\/em> on the S. On the ‘Arabah see Deu 1:1<\/span>. Kinnreth<\/em> was a town (Jos 11:2<\/span>; Jos 19:35<\/span>; the plur. Kinn e roth a district, 1Ki 15:20<\/span>) either giving its name to, or taking its name from, the Sea of Kinnreth (Num 34:11<\/span>, P); probably the latter, if K. be from kinnr, harp<\/em>, as this suits the shape of the Lake; in later times called the L. of Gennesaret, a name frequently but not plausibly derived from Kinnereth ( HGHL<\/em>, 443). The Sea of the ‘Arabah<\/em> (so Deu 4:49<\/span>; 2Ki 14:25<\/span>), the Salt Sea<\/em> (so Gen 14:3<\/span>; Num 34:3<\/span>; Num 34:12<\/span>; Jos 15:2<\/span>; Jos 15:5<\/span>; Jos 18:19<\/span>); both names as here in Jos 3:16<\/span>; Jos 12:23<\/span>; called also front<\/em> or E. Sea<\/em> (Eze 47:18<\/span>; Joe 2:20<\/span>; Zec 14:8<\/span>) in contrast to the Mediterranean the back<\/em> or W. Sea<\/em>, Deu 11:24<\/span>. The Greeks gave the name Asphaltitis. ‘The Dead Sea’ first occurs under Augustus. Ar. Bar Lt, ‘Lot’s Sea.’<\/p>\n the slopes of Pisgah<\/em> ] So Deu 4:49<\/span>; Jos 12:3<\/span>; Jos 13:20<\/span>. The Heb. ’<\/em> a<\/em> shedth<\/em> is slopes<\/em> rather than springs<\/em> (A.V.) as appears from the masc. form of the word, Num 21:15<\/span> ( the eshed of the wdies, which stretches to ‘Ar’s site and leans on the border of Moab<\/em>); slopes<\/em>, too, is most suitable in Jos 10:40<\/span>; Jos 12:8<\/span>, and with the use of the prepos. under<\/em> in this verse. The Pisgah<\/em> (always so) is the name attached by E (Num 21:20<\/span>; Num 23:14<\/span>) and by deuteronomic writers to ‘the western edge’ (G. B. Gray), or the headlands, of the Moabite Plateau at the N.E. corner of the Dead Sea. The headland of the Pisgah<\/em>, which Moses ascended, Deu 3:27<\/em><\/span>, is in Deu 32:49<\/span> (P) Mt Nebo<\/em> (cp. their identification in Deu 34:1<\/span>), that headland S. of the W. ‘Uyn Musa which bears the names en-Neba’ and Rs en-Neba’, just opposite the N. end of the sea ( HGHL<\/em>, 562 ff.). One of its lower steps, called Wat en-Na‘am, is identified by Musil ( Moab<\/em>, 272, 274) with the slopes of the Pisgah<\/em>. The deep W. es-Seyle which cleaves this he takes as Abel Shittim (Num 33:49<\/span>); but the latter is probably part of the Jordan valley. See further on Beth-P e ‘or, Deu 3:29<\/em><\/span>. The name Pisgah has disappeared, unless we are to recognise it in the almost equivalent Rs Feshkhah, a headland on the opposite coast of the sea.<\/p>\n Verse 17<\/span>.
