(גָּאוֹן, gaon, "excellency," "pride," etc.) OF JORDAN is a phrase occurring in the A.V. at Jeremiah 12:5; Jeremiah 49:19; but which should be rendered "pride of Jordan," as in Zechariah 11:3. It refers to the verdure and thickets along the banks, lined with willows, tamarisks, and cane, in which the lions once made their covert; but has no allusion to overwhelming billows from a rise of the waters (Reland, Palaest. p. 274). (See JORDAN).
