På sydsiden skal eders land gå fra ørkenen Sin langsmed Edom, og eders sydgrense skal i øst begynne ved enden av Salthavet. Bibelen Kunnskap Treasury south quarter 2 Mosebok 23:31 Josvas 15:1-12 Esekiel 47:13,19 salt sea eastward. 70 miles in length, and 18 in breadth. Viewing this sea from the spot where the Jordan discharges its waters into it, it takes a south-easterly direction, visible for ten or fifteen miles, when it disappears in a curve towards the east. Its surface is generally unruffled, from the hollow of the basin in which it lies scarcely admitting the free passage necessary for a strong breeze; it is however, for the same reason, subject to whirlwinds or squalls of short duration. The mountains on each side are apparently separated by a distance of eight miles; but the expanse of water at this point has been supposed not to exceed five or six; as it advances towards the south, it evidently increases in breadth. The acrid saltness of its waters is much greater than that of the sea; and of such specific gravity that bodies will float on it that would sink in common sea-water. It is probably on this account that few fish can live in it; though the monks of St. Saba affirmed to Dr. Shaw, that they had seen fish caught in it. 1 Mosebok 14:3 Josvas 3:16 Josvas 15:2 Esekiel 47:8,18 Lenker 4 Mosebok 34:3 Interlineært • 4 Mosebok 34:3 flerspråklig • Números 34:3 Spansk • Nombres 34:3 Fransk • 4 Mose 34:3 Tyske • 4 Mosebok 34:3 Chinese • Numbers 34:3 Engelsk • Bible Apps • Bible HubDet Norsk Bibelselskap (1930) |
