message: holy cow this page is hard to read.  There are so many footnotes with citations embedded in the next.  In some places it feels like there is more text in parentheses () than outside.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.8.68.159 (talk) 16:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I have moved the below text here, in case someone can bring sources to support it. It reads like original research.
===Beth-barah===
Bethabara has also been identified with Beth-barah, which, however, was probably not on the Jordan River but among the streams flowing into it (Judges ).
===Beth-arabhah in Judea===
The Greek Septuagint Codex Vaticanus (LXXB) reads, Baithabara for Hebrew Masoretic Text Bēth-‛ărābhāh, one of the cities of Benjamin (Joshua ). If this is correct, the site is in Judea.
===Beth-anabra, Beth-nimrah===
Another possible solution is the corruption of the name into Bethany and Bethabara, the name having the consonants n, b and r after Beth. In  (Septuagint, Codex Vaticanus) we find, Baithanabra for Bethnimrah (Massoretic Text), and Sir George Grove in Dictionary of the Bible (arts. "Bethabara" and "Beth-nimrah") identifies Bethabara and Beth-nimrah. The site of the latter was a few miles above Jericho (see Beth-nimrah), immediately accessible to Jerusalem and all Judea (compare Matthew ; Mark ). This view has much in its favor.
===Abarah near Beisan===
George Frederick Wright observes: "The traditional site is at the ford east of Jericho; but as according to , ,  it was only one day's journey from Cana of Galilee, while according to ; , , and , it was two or three days from Bethany, it must have been well up the river toward Galilee. Conder discovered a well-known ford near Beisan called Abarah, near the mouth of the valley of Jezreel. This is 20 miles from Cana and 60 miles from Bethany, and all the conditions of the place fit in with the history."
