Wady Zerka – The Jabbok
Stream on the east of the Jordan, near to which the angel wrestled with Jacob. It was afterward called “the border of the children of Ammon” (Gen. 32:22; Num. 21:24; Deut. 2:37; Deut. 3:16; Josh. 12:2; Judg. 11:13,22). In some parts it runs in a deep ravine, and in winter is impassable in places. It enters the Jordan about 32° 6' N, and is now called Wady Zerka.
