also: Jordán, the Jordan
The Jordan River, the boundary between the wilderness and Canaan; crossed miraculously by the Israelites under Joshua (Joshua 3). In the drama the camp is set 'by the Jordan' in Act Five, making its crossing the imminent threshold Moses will never traverse.

The Jordan River, the boundary between the wilderness and Canaan; in the drama its crossing — by Józsué, not Moses — represents the transition to a new age and the passing of Moses's generation.
