Jordan]), the Jordan, the largest and most celebrated river of Palestine, which has its origin in numerous torrents and small streams at the foot of Anti-Lebanon, flows at first into Lake Samochonitis (Merom so-called; [mod. el-Haleh; see BB.DD. 5. v. Merom (Waters of)]), and issuing thence runs into the Lake of Tiberias (the Sea of Galilee). After quitting this lake it is augmented during its course by many smaller streams, and finally empties into the Dead Sea: Mt. iii. 5 sq. 13 ; iv. 15, 25; xix.1; Mk.i.5, 9; iii. 8; x.1; Lk. iii. 3; iv.1; Jn.i.28; iii. 26; x. 40; cf.
