To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The stream is full of rapids and appalling descents, particularly in the upper part of its course ; no fewer than twenty-seven of these occurring, of threatening depth and force, besides a great number of less magnitude. Near the debouchure of the Jarmuk there is a cascade of eleven feet in height, below which are two fierce rapids, each 150 yards in length, bristling with black rocks, whose points rise above the foaming surface. Sunken and half-submerged rocks are very numerous throughout grea...t part of the course ; and in some parts there are a number of small islets. The course of the river is exceedingly tortuous, forming an un- ending series of serpentine curves ; hence, though the Dead Sea is only about sixty miles distant from the Lake of Gennesaret, the Jordan traverses, in that distance, a course of at least two hundred miles. Near the mouth of the Jabbok, there is a sudden break-down in the bed of the Jordan, which appears to be connected with the depression of the bottom of the Dead Sea.
