The City of Adam stood "beside
Zarethan" (
Joshua 3:16) on the east bank of the
Jordan. At this city, the flow of the water was arrested and rose up "upon an heap" at the time of the Israelites' passing over (Joshua 3:16). It has been identified as Tell Adamiyeh, a small mound near
Damia Bridge.
Adam was also the name given to the first man formed. That is the Adam mentioned in Genesis. Perhaps there is relevance in the fact that this is where the waters dried up in order for the
tribe of Israel to cross the Jordan before
Jericho.
