Arabah in Easton's Bible Dictionary
plain, in the Revised Version of 2 Kings 14:25; Josh. 3:16;
8:14; 2 Sam. 2:29; 4:7 (in all these passages the A.V.
has
"plain"); Amos 6:14 (A.V. "wilderness"). This word is
found in
the Authorized Version only in Josh. 18:18. It denotes
the
hollow depression through which the Jordan flows from
the Lake
of Galilee to the Dead Sea. It is now called by the
Arabs
el-Ghor. But the Ghor is sometimes spoken of as
extending 10
miles south of the Dead Sea, and thence to the Gulf of
Akabah on
the Red Sea is called the Wady el-Arabah.
