Wady Zerka – The
Jabbok
“River” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The
three
principal rivers referred to in
scripture
are the
Nile
, the
Jordan
, and the
Euphrates
.
The word
employed for the Nile is yeor, “a fosse or channel”; for the Jordan and the Euphrates the word used is
nahar
, “a river” always supplied with water. The other streams in
Palestine
, though called “rivers,” as the
Arnon
, are torrents running in valleys; for the most part they have water only in the
winter
, and are then often impassable: these are described by the word
nachal
. For the symbolical river that
Ezekiel
saw issuing from the
house
this latter word is used (
Ezekiel 47:5-12
5
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6
And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8
Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9
And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10
And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11
But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. (Ezekiel 47:5‑12)
).
God
will make His people drink of the river of His pleasures (
Psa. 36:8
8
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. (Psalm 36:8)
); here the word is
nachal
. In
Psalm 46:4
4
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. (Psalm 46:4)
it is
nahar
