Tsarethan
Zarethan is a place mentioned in the Bible in the Jordan Valley .
The first mention is found in Jos 3.16 EU , according to which the water of the Jordan "at the city of Adam, which is near Zarethan", raised itself to a dam and enabled the people to cross the river. Later, in 1 Kings 7.46 EU , it is reported that during Solomon's reign "between Succoth and Tsarethan" copper castings were made in clay molds. The parallel report in 2 Chr 4,17 EU suggests that the place name Zeredah is a different way of spelling Zarethan.
