Places of the Bible

Adam

City

Where the name appears

Events told in passages that name Adam, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.

  • Crossing the Jordan into Canaan · 1450 BC · 1 verse

Easton’s Bible Dictionary

Is referred to in Josh. 3:16. It stood “beside Zarethan,” on the west bank of Jordan (1 Kings 4:12). At this city the flow of the water was arrested and rose up “upon an heap” at the time of the Israelites’ passing over (Josh. 3:16).

From M. G. Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1893), in the public domain.
