Joshua 4:13
The plains of Jericho, consisting of the higher terrace of the Jordan valley, are almost seven miles broad. The mountains of Judaea here recede somewhat from the river, and leave a level and fertile space, which, at the time of Joshua' s invasion, was principally occupied by a forest of palms. Hence, the name "city of palms," Deuteronomy 34:3.
