In the time of Joshua it had six cities, with their villages  (Jos 15:61-62), but it is now, and has long been, one of the most dreary and desolate regions of the whole country (Robinson&#8217;s Researches, 2, 202, 310). The positions of this desert specially alluded to in the N.T. are,<\/p>\n<p>(1.) That in which John the Baptist grew up, probably west of the Dead Sea (Luk 1:80; Luk 3:2);<\/p>\n<p>(2.) That where he baptized, i.e. the uninhabited tract along the Jordan (Mat 3:1; Mar 1:4; compare 5);<\/p>\n<p>(3.)
