The Salt Sea (also called the Dead Sea) was located between southern Israel on its west and Moab on its east.
* The Jordan River flows south into the Salt Sea.
* Because it is smaller than most seas, it could be called "Salt Lake."

* This sea has such a high concentration of minerals (or "salts") that nothing can live in its waters. Its lack of plants and animals is the cause of the name "Dead Sea."

* In the Old Testament, this sea is also called the "Sea of Arabah" and the "Sea of Negev" because of its location near the regions of Arabah and Negev.
