And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages. The city of Salt - Or of Melach. This city was somewhere in the vicinity of the lake Asphaltites, the waters of which are the saltest perhaps in the world. The whole country abounds with salt: see the note on Genesis 19:25. Some suppose that it is the same as Zoar, the place to which Lot escaped after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
En-gedi - The well of the kid: it was situated between Jericho and the lake of Sodom or Dead Sea.
