ARNON

River of Transjordan, the present Wadi el-Mojib, running from east to west through a canyon with walls 1,500 feet (457 meters) high into the Dead Sea. At the time of the Israelite conquest of Canaan, the gorge served as a natural border between Moab to the south and the Ammonite kingdoms to the north (Nm 21:13-15). After the division of the land under Joshua the river Arnon became the southern boundary of Reuben’s territory (Dt 3:12, 16; Jos 13:16).
