Beth-Barah:
house of crossing, a place south of the scene of Gideon's victory (Jdg 7:24). It was probably the chief ford of the Jordan in that district, and may have been that by which Jacob crossed when he returned from Mesopotamia, near the Jabbok (Gen 32:22), and at which Jephthah slew the Ephraimites (Jdg 12:4). Nothing, however, is certainly known of it. (See BETHABARA.)
Beth-Barah:
the chosen house
Beth-Barah:
beth-ba'-ra (beth barah; Baithera): Perhaps Beth-‘abharu, the guttural being lost in copying. It is a ford which the Midianites were expected to pass in fleeing from Gideon. Messengers were therefore sent by Gideon to the Ephraimites bidding them "take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, even (the Revised Version, margin "and also") the Jordan" (Jud 7:24). "The waters" were the streams emptying themselves into the Jordan: "even the Jordan" is a gloss on "the waters." Between the Jordan and the modern Wady Fari‘ah an enemy could be entrapped; it is therefore probable that Beth-barah was on that stream near its entrance into the Jordan.

Beth-Barah: A Place East of the Jordan River
Jdg 7:24
Bethabara:
house of the ford, a place on the east bank of the Jordan, where John was baptizing (Jhn 1:28). It may be identical with Bethbarah, the ancient ford of Jordan of which the men of Ephraim took possession (Jdg 7:24). The Revised Version reads "Bethany beyond Jordan." It was the great ford, and still bears the name of "the ford," Makhadhet 'Abarah, "the ford of crossing over," about 25 miles from Nazareth. (See BETHBARAH.)
