	Bible Study - Arabah
		Arabah, from the Hebrew word pronounced ar-aw-bah, meaning plain, or wilderness, was the term usually used for the lowland area through which the Jordan River flows south from The Sea Of Galilee to the Dead Sea (also known as The Salt Sea).
		It was however also used to describe all or part of the entire rift that extends from Mount Hermon in the north to the Gulf of Aqaba at Ezion-geber in the south.
		Under the leadership of Joshua, the Israelites crossed the Arabah just north of the Dead Sea, which in that instance was referred to as the "Sea of the Arabah":

	DID EDOM'S ORIGINAL TERRITORIES EXTEND WEST OF 'WADI ARABAH?
		Its boundaries included an area that lies between 'Wadi el-Hesa in the north, 'Wadi Arabah in the west, 'Wadi Hisma in the south and Transjordan's basalt desert in the east.
		This geographical phenomenon is particularly evident along 'Wadi Arabah's western side since it lies in a rain shadow created by the presence of higher elevations along the eastern edges of the Biblical Negev and southern Judean hill country.
		Moreover, the rain shadow that exists in 'Wadi Arabah's western portion is noticeably absent from its eastern counterpart (Baly: 1974: 59-64, 203; Karmon 1971: 317, 331-333).
