The City of Adam stood "beside Zarethan" (Joshua 3:16) on the east bank of the Jordan. At this city, the flow of the water was arrested and rose up "upon an heap" at the time of the Israelites' passing over (Joshua 3:16). It has been identified as Tell Adamiyeh, a small mound near Damia Bridge.[citation needed]
