Wady el-'Arish

The Wady el-'Arish (also known as the Brook of Egypt) is a desert stream on the borders of Egypt. In the Bible, the border between Palestine and Egypt lies halfway between this stream and Gaza. (See Numbers 34:5; Joshua 15:4, 47; 1 Kings 8:65; 2 Kings 24:7; Isaiah 27:12; Ezekiel 47:19. In all these passages the R.V. has "brook" while the A.V. has "river.")
