why might the jordan river have been less important to the hebrews than the nile to the egyptians or the tirgris and euphrates to the mesopotamian?

Israelites made a difficult and hazardous journey from slavery in Egypt to freedom in The Promised Land. Jordan can refer to freedom. The actual crossing is the final step of the journey, which is then complete. The Jordan also can signify death itself, with the crossing from life into Paradise or Heaven.
On more earthly side Israel polluted Jordan river to the dimay of ecologists. Nile irrigates Egypt and Tigris and Euphrates irrigate Iraq . Jordan river does not irrigate Israel much
