As the River Jordan forms the eastern border of Israel, and the western border of Jordan, to claim that one country would have total control over an entire river is incorrect. Traditionally, it was under the control of the Israelites, however, in more modern times, it has remained under joint control.
There is a river that's runs between modern day Palestine/Israel and modern day Jordan. That river was called since Ancient Times Al- Urdon. When the Romans conquered that area they translated Al Urdon into Latin and soon afterward that area became known like that. When the name was finally translated into English through many languages it was Jordan. The area was known as Transjordan for it was nothing but a desert. When the country was established it became known as Jordan. Jordan, the country, was named after the river of Jordan which lies between it & Palestine.
No one in the Bible was supposed to dip in the Nile River 7 times. Elisha's servant told Naaman he was supposed to dip 7 times in the Jordan River to be cleansed of leprosy - see 2 Kings 5:1-14.
I guess you mean Naaman dipping into the River Jordan: II Kings 5:1-19a v 10 - Elisha told him to wash 7 times in River Jordan v 14 actually did it and was cured of leprosy. vv 19b-27 tail end to event.
washing their clothes, putting their waste in it??
According to the Bible, God parted the waters two times. The first instance was when God parted the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to escape from the pursuing Egyptian army. The second time was when God parted the Jordan River for the Israelites to cross into the promised land.
The Jordan Times was created in 1975.
