3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Passage
denotes in Josh. 22:11, as is generally understood, the place
where the children of Israel passed over Jordan. The words "the
passage of" are, however, more correctly rendered "by the side
of," or "at the other side of," thus designating the position of
the great altar erected by the eastern tribes on their return
home. This word also designates the fords of the Jordan to the
south of the Sea of Galilee (Judg. 12:5, 6), and a pass or rocky
defile (1 Sam. 13:23; 14:4). "Passages" in Jer. 22:20 is in the
Revised Version more correctly "Abarim" (q.v.), a proper name.

4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
PASSAGE. A way over water; a voyage made over the sea or great river; as,

person over the sea; as, my, passage to Europe was one hundred and fifty
dollars.
