== Identifikasi ==
=== Wadi al-Yabis ===
Kerit biasanya diidentidikasikan dengan Wadi al-Yabis, sebuah sungai di barat [[Yordania]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Armstrong |first=George |year=1895 |title=Names and places in the Old and New Testament and apocrypha: With their modern identifications }}</ref>
=== Wadi Kelt ===
Selain itu, sungai Kerit diidentifikasikan oleh beberapa orang dengan [[Wadi Kelt]] di [[Biara Santo Gregorius (Wadi Qelt)|Biara Santo Gregorius]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Life Of John The Elder And The Cave Of Sapsas |url= http://saintlukecolumbia.org/orthodoxy-articles/2011/3/28/the-life-of-john-the-elder-and-the-cave-of-sapsas.html |publisher=St. Luke the Evangelist Greek Orthodox Church |accessdate=9 July 2016}}</ref>
=== Wadi di Fasaelis ===
Pada 1321, [[Marino Sanuto yang Tua]] menyatakan bahwa sungai tersebut berada di [[Fasaelis]], yang diambil dari nama Pangeran [[Fasael]], saudara Raja [[Herodes Agung|Herodes]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Armstrong |first=George |year=1895 |title=Names and places in the old and new testament and apocrypha: With their modern identifications }}</ref> Identifikasi tersebut bertentangan dengan terjemahan umum dari 1 Raja-Raja 17:3, karena Fasaelis mengalir ke barat, bukan timur Yordania.
