  Beth-barah
     house of crossing, a place south of the scene of Gideon's
     victory (Judg. 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 (Judg. 12:4).


     Nothing, however, is certainly known of it. (See {BETHABARA}.)
