Ezekiel 47:8 – The Arabah [desolate and dry area] of the Jordan Rift Valley runs in a north-south orientation between the southern end of the Sea of Galilee (as the Jordan River Valley) down to the Dead Sea and continues further south where it ends at the Gulf of Aqaba.
The sea is called the Dead Sea, Sea of Arabah, Sea of Death, and Salt Sea. Its surface and shores are 1,401 ft below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land, the deepest hyper-saline lake in the world. It is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 31 miles long and 9 miles wide at its widest point.
