     * the valley of salt.
       Some suppose that the Valley of Salt was south of the Dead, or
       Salt Sea, towards the land of Edom; and others suppose it to
       be the Valley of Salt, about three or four miles south-east of
       Palmyra, which now supplies, in a great measure, the
       surrounding country with salt.

     * Selah.  or, the rock.
       {Selah} is generally supposed to be the same as {Petra,} which
       in Greek signifies a rock, the celebrated capital of Arabia
       Petr(9161).  Strabo places it three or four days' journey from
       Jericho, and five days' journey from the forest of palm trees
       on the Red Sea.  Pliny places it 600; miles from Gaza, and 125
       from the Persian Gulf; but Cellarius and Reland very justly
       consider that the numbers have been changed, and that we ought
       to read 125; miles from Gaza, and 600; from the Persian Gulf.
       Eusebius places Beerothbenejaakan 30; miles west from Petra,
       and Elath ten miles east; and Burckhardt discovered the ruins
       of this ancient city in a valley called Wady Mousa.

     * Joktheel.
