 * 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.
