denotes in
Josh. 22:11, as is generally understood, the place where the children of
Israel passed over
Jordan. The words "the
passage of" are, however, more correctly rendered "by the side of," or "at the other side of," thus designating the position of the great
altar erected by the eastern tribes
on their return home. This word also designates the fords of the Jordan to the
south of the Sea of
Galilee (
Judg. 12:5, 6), and a pass or rocky defile (
1 Sam. 13:23; 14:4). "Passages" in
Jer. 22:20 is in the Revised
Version more correctly "Abarim" (q.v.), a proper name.
I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
