Wadi Zered is a wadi in western Jordan, also known in Jordan as Wadi al-Hisa (Arabic: وادي الحسا; Hebrew: נחל זרד Nachal Zered). According to Deuteronomy 2:13-18 it was the boundary between Moab and Edom in ancient times.[1] Mentioned in the Torah (Deuteronomy 2:13-14, Numbers 21:12, and see Hebrew word #2218 in Strong's Concordance).
The wadi is very big and long and ends in the Dead Sea in the town Safe (Al-Safi). The Wadi area is full of farmers which use the water mostly for vegetables like tomatoes and melons.
Zared (also Zered) is a name in the Torah denoting a brook. It is mentioned briefly in Deut. 2:13 and more extensively in Numbers 21:12-13, as the place where the Israelites camp on their final approach to Moab.
