Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Bethnimrah: Probably the same as Nimrim in Jeremiah 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." Numbers 32:3, Nimrah
fenced cities: Numbers 32:24
Reciprocal: Joshua 13:27 - Betharam Isaiah 15:6 - Nimrim
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities,.... The first of these is the same with Nimrah, Numbers 32:3, and the other is the same with Betharam, Joshua 13:27, it is called in the Jerusalem Talmud r, Bethramtha, and so by the Syrians, Bethramphta; and to the same place Herod gave the name of Livias or Julias s: these cities the children of Gad built or repaired for their families:
and folds for sheep; they also built for their cattle, as they promised to do, and Moses enjoined them, Numbers 32:16.
r Sheviith, fol. 38. 4. s Vid. Reland. Palestin. Illustrat. par. 2. p. 643.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The cities here named fall into three groups. On Dibon, compare Numbers 21:19. The Moabite stone was discovered here in 1868. This city, occupied on the first acquisition of the territory by the Gadites, and assigned by Joshua to the Reubenites, was eventually recaptured by the Moabites, in whose hands it remained. Ataroth, i. e., “crowns” (Attarus?) was seven miles northwest of Dibon. Aroer (Arair) lay between Dibon and the Arnon.
Atroth, Shophan - , was Atroth-Shophan, i. e., Atroth, or Ataroth of Shophan, or “of the burrow;” thus distinguished from the Ataroth named in the verse preceding from which it was probably not far distant. These four cities may be styled the Dibon settlement.
Numbers 32:35
Jaazer - (compare Numbers 32:1) with the neighboring “Jogbehah” (Jebeiha), seven miles to the northeast, formed the second group.
Numbers 32:36
The third Gadite settlement lay in the valley of the Jordan, to the west of the preceding. It comprised the cities of Bethnimrah (Nimrun) and “Beth-haran” (Beit-ha-ran).
