Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the south,.... The southern part of the land, even all of it; and having shown him that, he is directed eastward to take a view of

the plain of the valley of Jericho; which lay before him, a delightful plain; see Joshua 5:10;

the city of palm trees; so Jericho was called, because of the multitude of palm trees which grew there, and which Josephus not only testifies r, who speaks of it as a plain planted with palm trees, and from whence balsam comes; but several Heathen writers: Pliny says s Jericho was set with palm trees; Diodorus Siculus t speaks of the country about Jericho as abounding with palm trees, and in a certain valley, meaning the vale or plains of Jericho, is produced that which is called balsam; so Strabo says u, Jericho is a plain surrounded with mountains abounding with palm trees, where there is a plantation of palm trees, with other fruit trees, the space of a hundred furlongs:

unto Zoar; near the salt sea; see Genesis 19:22.
