The Eastern borders of Samaria, Judea and Galilee are bodies of water....the Sea of Galilee, Jordan River, and the Dead Sea. The areas east of that were Decapolis, Perea and Arabia.
The same as today: the Jordan River and the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee).
At the time of Jesus Palestine was a desert area, so there was water in abundance in the river Jordan and river Galilee. So most of the people fished in the river Galilee , including the disciples.
The water density depends on the temperature of the lake water already in the Sea of Galilee, also called Lake Kinneret, and the temperature of the river water coming from the Jordan River. Lake KinneretÕs water density averages around 0.99991 kilograms per Liter.
The word "Jordan" means "the river that rushes down." And between Mount Hermon and the sea of Galilee that's exactly what it does! The Jordan River in Israel has no dam as there is not enough water that flows through it to turn enough turbines to make the enterprise worth doing. There is a dam on the Jordan River in British Columbia, Canada (which is an entirely different river). That dam is called the Jordan River Diversion Dam.
The Jordan river is salt water.
The River Jordan and the Sea of Galilee are two of the bodies of water in the northern region of the Great Rift Valley.
There are actually "two" Jordan rivers: the one from the slopes of Mt. Hermon to the Kineret (Sea of Galilee), and its continuation from the Kineret to the Dead Sea. The main importance of the Jordan River is in its first portion, which is the Kineret's major supply of fresh water. Because the country of Jordan is arid, it (like Israel) sees the river as one of its water-sources. Also, the river is Jordan's western border. For Syria, besides fresh water, the river has the significance that some of its northern stream-tributaries used to be within the borders of Syria and are now in the Israeli Golan Heights.
