The modern nation east of Israel and the river that forms much of its western border — central to nearly every era of biblical history
Trans-JordanModern Jordan covers the territory of ancient Edom, Moab, Ammon, and the trans-Jordan tribal allotments (Reuben, Gad, half of Manasseh). The Jordan River is where Israel crossed into the Promised Land, where Naaman was healed, where John baptized Jesus. Petra and Mount Nebo are in modern Jordan.
