What is Cherith?
THE BROOK CHE'RITH
(gorge), a brook or torrent "before Jordan" where the prophet Elijah was hid. 1 Kgs 17:5. Its location is much disputed. Robinson and several others identify it with Wady Kelt, a swift, brawling stream, 20 yards wide and feet deep, running into the Jordan from the west, a little south of Jericho. Some identify it with Wady Fusail, a little farther north, and yet others think it was some stream on the other, or eastern, side of the Jordan.
