The Jordan River begins north of the Sea of Galilee, flows into it, and then continues south to the Dead Sea.
Significant Events:
Lot chose the plains of the Jordan for himself (Gen. 13:10-11). Joshua divided the waters, allowing the Israelites to cross into the promised land (Josh. 3:13-17; 4:1-9, 20-24). Elijah and Elisha divided the waters (2 Kgs. 2:5-8, 12-14). Naaman was cured of leprosy (2 Kgs. 5:1-15). John the Baptist baptized many people, including the Savior (Matt. 3:1-6, 13-16).
