Winer's Grammar, § 18, 5 a.), (יַרְדֵּן, from יָרַד to descend; for other opinions about the origin of the name see Gesenius, Thesaurus, ii., p. 626 (cf. Alex.'s Kitto under the word Jordan)), the Jordan, the largest and most celebrated river of Palestine, which has its origin in numerous torrents and small streams at the foot of Anti-Lebanon, flows at first into Lake Samochonitis (Merom so-called; (modern: el-Huleh; see BB. DD. under the word (Waters of))), and issuing thence runs into the Lake of Tiberius (the Sea of Galilee). After quitting this lake it is augmented during its course by many smaller streams, and finally empties into the Dead Sea: Matthew 3:5ff,; ; Mark 1:5, 9; Mark 3:8; Mark 10:1; Luke 3:3; Luke 4:1; John 1:28; John 3:26; John 10:40; cf.

Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew יַרְדֵּן (Yarden) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H3383 יַרְדֵּן (Yarden) Usage: The term Ἰορδάνης is used in the New Testament to refer to the Jordan River, a significant geographical and theological landmark in biblical history. Context: The Jordan River, known in Greek as Ἰορδάνης, is one of the most prominent rivers in the biblical narrative. It flows from the Anti-Lebanon mountains in the north, through the Sea of Galilee, and down to the Dead Sea in the south. The river serves as a natural boundary and holds substantial religious significance. In the Old Testament, the Jordan River is the site where the Israelites, led by Joshua, crossed into the Promised Land (Joshua 3:14-17). It symbolizes a transition from the wilderness into a land of promise and fulfillment. The river is also associated with the prophetic ministries of Elijah and Elisha, where miraculous events occurred, such as Elijah's ascension to heaven and Elisha's healing of Naaman (2 Kings 2:8-14; 2 Kings 5:10-14). In the New Testament, the Jordan River is notably the location of Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist, marking the beginning of His public ministry (Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22). This event underscores the river's symbolic role in purification and new beginnings. The Jordan is also mentioned in the context of John's baptizing activities, where people from Jerusalem and all Judea came to be baptized (Matthew 3:5-6). The Jordan River's theological significance is multifaceted, representing themes of cleansing, transition, and divine encounter. It serves as a physical and spiritual boundary, a place where God's promises are realized, and where individuals experience transformation and renewal.
