Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַד (yarad), meaning "to descend" or "to go down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry for the Jordan River is G2446 (Ἰορδάνης, Iordanes), which is used in the New Testament to refer to the same river, particularly in the context of John the Baptist's ministry and the baptism of Jesus. Usage: The term יַרְדֵּן (Yarden) is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible to denote the Jordan River, a significant geographical and theological landmark in the biblical narrative. Context: The Jordan River is one of the most prominent rivers in the biblical landscape, serving as a critical boundary and a site of numerous significant events. It originates from the confluence of several tributaries in the region of Mount Hermon and flows southward through the Sea of Galilee, eventually emptying into the Dead Sea. The river is approximately 156 miles (251 kilometers) long. In the biblical narrative, the Jordan River is first mentioned in Genesis 13:10, where Lot chooses the fertile plain of the Jordan. It is famously crossed by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership as they enter the Promised Land (Joshua 3:14-17). The river also serves as the site of several miraculous events, such as the parting of its waters (Joshua 3:16-17) and the healing of Naaman the Syrian (2 Kings 5:14). The Jordan River holds theological significance as the location of John the Baptist's ministry and the baptism of Jesus Christ (Matthew 3:13-17). This event marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and is a pivotal moment in the New Testament narrative. The river's symbolic meaning extends to themes of purification, transition, and divine intervention, making it a powerful symbol in both Jewish and Christian traditions.
