 Bethabara
    house of the ford, a place on the east bank of the Jordan, where
    John was baptizing (John 1:28). It may be identical with
    Bethbarah, the ancient ford of Jordan of which the men of
    Ephraim took possession (Judg. 7:24). The Revised Version reads
    "Bethany beyond Jordan." It was the great ford, and still bears
    the name of "the ford," Makhadhet 'Abarah, "the ford of crossing
    over," about 25 miles from Nazareth. (See BETHBARAH.)
