The Jordan river is not an especially large River, is not majestic day to day but is important to the inhabitants of modern day Israel and surrounding Countries  as an important source of water for varied purposes. Practically the banks of the Jordan river can be steep and to enter the water one must awkwardly slide down the banks on one's behind, prostrate themselves sliding downward face first through the brambles and stickers rushing slightly uncontrollably into the current, or if one is in a group, among like thinkers one can link one's arms to another's wrist to wrist and find oneself slowly lowered into the waters of forgetfulness.

The Jordan flows north to south from the sea of Galilee to the Dead sea. Because of it's symbolic purposes the Jordan river is often spoken of as first among all Rivers.
