Arnon
   swift, the southern boundary of the territory of Israel beyond
   Jordan, separating it from the land of Moab (Deut. 3:8, 16).
   This river (referred to twenty-four times in the Bible) rises in
   the mountains of Gilead, and after a circuitous course of about
   80 miles through a deep ravine it falls into the Dead Sea nearly
   opposite Engedi. The stream is almost dry in summer. It is now
   called el-Mujeb. The territory of the Amorites extended from the
   Arnon to the Jabbok.
