Zaretan
From the Scriptures themselves
Zaretan is a name named in Scripture. Hitchcock's Bible Names (1869) gives the name's meaning as “tribulation; perplexity”. The Scriptures below are what the Bible itself says — they are the whole of this entry, gathered from the King James text.
Joshua 3:16 — That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
