Arabah

15 cross references · Modern-day map available

The Arabah is the deep valley system running from the Sea of Galilee down past the Dead Sea and onward toward the Gulf of Aqaba. It is important because it names one of the Bible's major geographic corridors, closely tied to the Jordan, the wilderness south of the Dead Sea, and the eastern boundary regions. First appears in Deut 1:7.1

AI summary: The Arabah is significant because it names a broad geographic depression rather than a single city or town. In biblical usage it helps describe movement, boundaries, and landscape, especially in relation to the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the southern extension toward the Gulf of Aqaba. Because it forms a long natural corridor, it appears in passages that depend on spatial orientation and territorial definition. The cross references present the Arabah as one of the Bible's key landscape terms for the great valley running through the land's eastern side.1
