earth
). A city of
Reuben
, on
Jordan
(
Josh. 3:16
16
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho. (Joshua 3:16)

:
A town near
the
Jordan
,
named

in
Joshua 3:16,
16
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho. (Joshua 3:16)
which should read “a heap very far off, by [or at]
Adam
, the
city
that is beside
Zaretan
.” The waters of
death
were heaped at Adam as if to
teach
the death of the first
man
at the
passage
of the Jordan. Adam is identified
with
ed Damieh
, 32° 7' N, 35° 33' E. If
this
is
correct
, the waters were piled up
some
20 miles from where the Israelites crossed. See JORDAN.
