Strong's Lexicon Yarden: Jordan Original Word: יַרְדֵּן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָרַד (yarad), meaning "to descend" or "to go down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2446 (Ιορδάνης, Iordanes): The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew "Yarden," used in the New Testament to refer to the Jordan River. Usage: The term "Yarden" refers to the Jordan River, a significant geographical feature in the biblical narrative. It is often associated with boundary crossings, spiritual transitions, and divine interventions. The Jordan River serves as a physical and symbolic marker in the history of Israel, representing both a literal and metaphorical passage from one state of being to another. Cultural and Historical Background: The Jordan River is one of the most prominent rivers in the biblical lands, flowing from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. It has been a critical water source and a natural boundary throughout history. In biblical times, the Jordan was a site of numerous significant events, including the crossing of the Israelites into the Promised Land, the prophetic ministry of Elijah and Elisha, and the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. The river's name, meaning "to descend," reflects its geographical descent from the highlands of Galilee to the lowest point on earth at the Dead Sea.
