The passage in Josh. 3:15, referred to in a proposed query in which it is said, that “Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest,” is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word male, rendered in our authorized version, “overflows,” has no such meaning; but signifies fills, and ought to have been so translated— “Jordan fills all its banks,” &c. That is, it runs with its banks brim-full during that season of the year; which is in accordance with its present state, as observed by travelers.
