    Mention is frequently made of the fords of the Jordan (Josh.
    2:7; Judg. 3:28; 12:5, 6), which must have been very numerous;
    about fifty perhaps. The most notable was that of Bethabara.
    Mention is also made of the ford of the Jabbok (Gen. 32:22), and
    of the fords of Arnon (Isa. 16:2) and of the Euphrates (Jer.
    51:32).
