Stony (Heb[[Text:EBD:Hebrew language|Hebrew]]. marg. "Amanah," perennial), the chief [[Text:EBD:River|river ]] of [[Text:EBD:Damascus (EBD)|Damascus]] ([[Bible:2 Kings 5:12]]). Its modern name is Barada, the Chrysorrhoas, or "golden stream," of the [[Text:EBD:Greek|Greeks]]. It rises in a cleft of the Anti-Lebanon range, about 23 miles north-west of Damascus, and after flowing southward for a little way parts into three smaller streams, the central one flowing through Damascus, and the other two on each side of the [[Text:EBD:City|city]], diffusing beauty and fertility where otherwise there would be barrenness.
