Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel struck, and possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah eastward:
"Chinneroth ..."  (Joshua 12:3).  This body of water is called Chinneroth, Tiberias, Gennessereth, and Galilee in the Bible, also with variations of "Sea of ..." or "Lake ..." in each instance.  The "Sea of the Arabah" is the Dead Sea.  Pisgah was a dramatic promontory overlooking the Arabah, which is the great rift in the earth in which the whole Jordan and the Dead Sea are found.  "Pisgah lay near the northeastern corner of the Dead Sea."[8]  "`Beth-jeshimoth' means `house of wastes,'"[9] an appropriate name indeed for a strip of land lying northeast of the Dead Sea and adjacent to it; "It is described by travelers as the most arid portion of the whole land."[10]
