BROOK OF THE ARABAH*

Unidentifiable brook presumably draining into the Arabah (Am 6:14). The Arabah is part of the desert rift extending from the Sea of Galilee to East Africa. A wadi (streambed) named Arabah is south of the Salt (Dead) Sea, but in the Bible, Arabah (“desert” or “wilderness”) designates portions of the Jordan Valley (Dt 4:48-49; Jos 8:14; 2 Kgs 25:4) as well as the Salt Sea (Dt 3:17). In the Wadi Arabah several springs and occasionally rain-fed streams drain into the Salt Sea.

See also Arabah.
