I don't see you have added anything new here, Steven Avery, unless you think you can get more antiquarian lore into the thread, so I'll limit myself to this statement:
That is not derived from anything you cited from Falconer. In fact, he states a view that I gave earlier:
The Hebrew word for "beyond" (עבר) is related to the name of the Hebrews (עברי), the people beyond (the river, ie the Jordan, from a perspective similar to that of Moses who we are told never crossed the river).
- So Falconer is reversing the viewpoint.

- All the principal part of Canaan was called the country beyond Jordan, before it was occupied by the Israelites
