Burckhardt says, that when he was about an hour's distance north of the Modjeb or Arnon, he was shown to the N. E. the ruins of Diban, the ancient Dibon, situated in the low ground of the Koura, or plains of Moab. 3; 21:20; 33:45,46Aroer.Aroer was situated, according to Eusebius, on a mountain on the north bank of the river Arnon. This is confirmed by Burckhardt, who says it is called Araayr, and is seated on the edge of the precipice, at the foot of which the river flows. De 2:36; Isa 17:2 Jaazer.1,3Jazer Beth-nimrah.Probably the same as Nimrim in Jer 48:34, and the Bethnabris mentioned by Eusebius, five miles north from Livias. Burckhardt says, that "in the valley of the Jordan, south of Abou Obeida, are the ruins of Nemrim, probably the Beth-nimrah of the Scriptures." 3Nimrah. fenced cities.24 Heshbon.3; 21:27; Isa 15:4Eleahleh.Elealeh is placed, by Eusebius, a mile from Heshbon.

Bashan.Bashan, one of the most fertile districts of the Holy Land, was bounded on the west by the Jordan and lake of Gennesareth, on the east by Trachonitis, on the south by the brook Jabbok, and on the north by mount Hermon; and seems to have been composed of two or three districts, on the south the land of Gilead, on the north the region of Argob, and east of both, the plain of Hauran. (See ver. 13-15.) The scenery of this elevated tract is described by Mr. Buckingham as extremely beautiful: its plains covered with a fertile soil; its hills covered with forests, and at every new turn presenting the most beautiful landscapes that can be imagined.

The Chaldee Targumist, who places it at Cæsarea and Samaritan interpreter call it {toor talga,} "the mountain of snow," because of its being always covered with snow; and Jerome informs us, that it lies higher than Paneas or Cæsarea Philippi, and that in the summer time snow used to be carried from thence to Tyre. It is now call El Heish, and is comprised in the district of Kanneytra. 4:48,49; Ps 29:6; 89:12; 133:3; So 4:8Shenir.1Ch 5:23; Eze 27:5Senir. the cities.4:49Edrei.Nu 21:33; Jos 12:4,5; 13:11,12,31 giants.Ge 14:5Rabbath.2Sa 12:26; Jer 49:2; Eze 21:20; Am 1:14Rabbah. nine cubits.1Sa 17:4; Am 2:9 from Aroer.2:36; 4:48; Nu 32:33-38; Jos 12:2-6; 13:8-12,14-28; 2Ki 10:33 the rest.Nu 32:39-42; Jos 13:29-32; 1Ch 5:23-26which was called.Michaelis says, "The tradition that giants formerly dwelt in this part, still remains in Arabia, only that it makes them rather taller than Moses does Og, and calls the land in which they lived, not Bashan, but Hadrach, which name occurs in Zec 9:1.

Nu 18:20. If they had been appointed to a lot entire by themselves, Moses would have served them first, not because it was his own tribe, but because it was God's, but they must be provided for in another manner; their habitation must be scattered in all the tribes, and their maintenance brought out of all the tribes, and God himself was the portion both of their inheritance and of their cup. 18:7; De 10:9; 18:1,2Joshua 14:1-5
1 The nine tribes and a half are to have their inheritance by lot.6 Caleb by privilege obtains Hebron. which Eleazar.Nu 34:17-29 lot.Though God had sufficiently pointed out by the predictions of Jacob and Moses what portions he designed for each tribe, yet we readily discern an admirable proof of His wisdom, in the orders he gave to decide them by lot. By this means the false interpretations which might have been given to the words of Jacob and Moses were prevented; and by striking at the root of whatever might occasion jealousies and disputes among the tribes, he evidently secured the honesty of those appointed to distribute the conquered lands of Canaan. Besides, the success of this method gave a fresh proof of the divinity of the Jewish religion, and the truth of its oracles. Each tribe finding itself placed by lot exactly in the spot where Jacob and Moses foretold, it was evident that Providence had equally directed both the predictions and that lot; and it would be the greatest folly and presumption not to acknowledge the inspiration of God in the words of Jacob and Moses; the direction of his hand in the lot, and his providence in the event.
