| Bethab'ara. (house of the ford). A place beyond Jordan, in which according to the Received Text of the New Testament, John was baptizing. Joh 1:28. If this reading be correct, Bethabara is identical with Beth-barah (fords of Abarah), the ancient ford of Jordan on the road to Gilead; or, which seems more likely, with Beth-nimrah, on the east of the river, nearly opposite Jericho. The Revised Version reads Bethany, see below. Smith's Bible Dictionary or |
