Apple of Sodom Described from Dead Sea Country
The Dead Sea lies in the southeast Palestine region and is about 47 miles long with nine miles average width. It is fed by the Jordan and many streams but has no outlet, causing evaporation to carry away excess water. Salt-encrusted trees line the north shore, and a salt rock ridge known as Udsum Sod lies to the south. Near the Dead Sea's borders a plant yields the Apple of Sodom, beautiful outside but bitter inside, when ripe filled with fiber and dust. The mean level is 292 feet below the Mediterranean and salts comprise 24 to 26 percent, with seven percent common salt. A salt-water ash is said to perish in the sea’s density.
