4. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Jordan
   Heb. Yarden, "the descender;" Arab. Nahr-esh-Sheriah, "the
   watering-place" the chief river of Palestine. It flows from
   north to south down a deep valley in the centre of the country.
   The name descender is significant of the fact that there is
   along its whole course a descent to its banks; or it may simply
   denote the rapidity with which it "descends" to the Dead Sea.
   
     It originates in the snows of Hermon, which feed its perennial
   fountains. Two sources are generally spoken of. (1.) From the
   western base of a hill on which once stood the city of Dan, the
   northern border-city of Palestine, there gushes forth a
   considerable fountain called the Leddan, which is the largest
   fountain in Syria and the principal source of the Jordan. (2.)
   Beside the ruins of Banias, the ancient Caesarea Philippi and
   the yet more ancient Panium, is a lofty cliff of limestone, at
   the base of which is a fountain. This is the other source of the
   Jordan, and has always been regarded by the Jews as its true
   source. It rushes down to the plain in a foaming torrent, and
   joins the Leddan about 5 miles south of Dan (Tell-el-Kady). (3.)
   But besides these two historical fountains there is a third,
   called the Hasbany, which rises in the bottom of a valley at the
   western base of Hermon, 12 miles north of Tell-el-Kady. It joins
   the main stream about a mile below the junction of the Leddan
   and the Banias. The river thus formed is at this point about 45
   feet wide, and flows in a channel from 12 to 20 feet below the
   plain. After this it flows, "with a swift current and a
   much-twisted course," through a marshy plain for some 6 miles,
   when it falls into the Lake Huleh, "the waters of Merom" (q.v.).
   
     During this part of its course the Jordan has descended about
   1,100 feet. At Banias it is 1,080 feet above sea-level. Flowing
   from the southern extremity of Lake Huleh, here almost on a
   level with the sea, it flows for 2 miles "through a waste of
   islets and papyrus," and then for 9 miles through a narrow gorge
   in a foaming torrent onward to the Sea of Galilee (q.v.).
   
     "In the whole valley of the Jordan from the Lake Huleh to the
   Sea of Galilee there is not a single settled inhabitant. Along
   the whole eastern bank of the river and the lakes, from the base
   of Hermon to the ravine of Hieromax, a region of great
   fertility, 30 miles long by 7 or 8 wide, there are only some
   three inhabited villages. The western bank is almost as
   desolate. Ruins are numerous enough. Every mile or two is an old
   site of town or village, now well nigh hid beneath a dense
   jungle of thorns and thistles. The words of Scripture here recur
   to us with peculiar force: 'I will make your cities waste, and
   bring your sanctuaries unto desolation...And I will bring the
   land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall
   be astonished at it...And your land shall be desolate, and your
   cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as
   it lieth desolate' (Lev. 26:31-34).", Dr. Porter's Handbook.
   
     From the Sea of Galilee, at the level of 682 feet below the
   Mediterranean, the river flows through a long, low plain called
   "the region of Jordan" (Matt. 3:5), and by the modern Arabs the
   Ghor, or "sunken plain." This section is properly the Jordan of
   Scripture. Down through the midst of the "plain of Jordan" there
   winds a ravine varying in breadth from 200 yards to half a mile,
   and in depth from 40 to 150 feet. Through it the Jordan flows in
   a rapid, rugged, tortuous course down to the Dead Sea. The whole
   distance from the southern extremity of the Sea of Galilee to
   the Dead Sea is in a straight line about 65 miles, but following
   the windings of the river about 200 miles, during which it falls
   618 feet. The total length of the Jordan from Banias is about
   104 miles in a straight line, during which it falls 2,380 feet.
   
     There are two considerable affluents which enter the river
   between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea, both from the east.
   (1.) The Wady Mandhur, called the Yarmuk by the Rabbins and the
   Hieromax by the Greeks. It formed the boundary between Bashan
   and Gilead. It drains the plateau of the Hauran. (2.) The Jabbok
   or Wady Zerka, formerly the northern boundary of Ammon. It
   enters the Jordan about 20 miles north of Jericho.
   
     The first historical notice of the Jordan is in the account of
   the separation of Abraham and Lot (Gen. 13:10). "Lot beheld the
   plain of Jordan as the garden of the Lord." Jacob crossed and
   recrossed "this Jordan" (32:10). The Israelites passed over it
   as "on dry ground" (Josh. 3:17; Ps. 114:3). Twice afterwards its
   waters were miraculously divided at the same spot by Elijah and
   Elisha (2 Kings 2:8, 14).
   
     The Jordan is mentioned in the Old Testament about one hundred
   and eighty times, and in the New Testament fifteen times. The
   chief events in gospel history connected with it are (1) John
   the Baptist's ministry, when "there went out to him Jerusalem,
   and all Judaea, and were baptized of him in Jordan" (Matt. 3:6).
   (2.) Jesus also "was baptized of John in Jordan" (Mark 1:9).

   Introduction Jordan
   -------------------
                            Background: For most of its history since
                                        independence from British
                                        administration in 1946, Jordan was
                                        ruled by King HUSSEIN (1953-1999). A
                                        pragmatic ruler, he successfully
                                        navigated competing pressures from
                                        the major powers (US, USSR, and UK),
                                        various Arab states, Israel, and a
                                        large internal Palestinian
                                        population, through several wars and
                                        coup attempts. In 1989 he resumed
                                        parliamentary elections and
                                        gradually permitted political
                                        liberalization; in 1994 a formal
                                        peace treaty was signed with Israel.
                                        King ABDALLAH II - the eldest son of
                                        King HUSSEIN and Princess MUNA -
                                        assumed the throne following his
                                        father's death in February 1999.
                                        Since then, he has consolidated his
                                        power and established his domestic
                                        priorities.

   Economy Jordan
   --------------
                    Economy - overview: Jordan is a small Arab country with
                                        inadequate supplies of water and
                                        other natural resources such as oil.
                                        Debt, poverty, and unemployment are
                                        fundamental problems, but King
                                        ABDALLAH since assuming the throne
                                        in 1999 has undertaken some broad
                                        economic reforms in a long-term
                                        effort to improve living standards.
                                        Amman in the past three years has
                                        signed on to an IMF agreement,
                                        practiced careful monetary policy,
                                        and made significant headway with
                                        privatization. The government also
                                        has liberalized the trade regime
                                        sufficiently to secure Jordan's
                                        membership in the WTrO, an
                                        association agreement with the EU,
                                        and a free trade accord with US.
                                        These measures have helped improve
                                        productivity and have put Jordan on
                                        the foreign investment map. Ongoing
                                        challenges include fiscal adjustment
                                        to reduce the budget deficit and
                                        broader investment incentives to
                                        promote job-creating ventures.
