43<\/strong>. Bezer<\/em> ] Beer<\/strong>; described, as here, in Jos 20:8<\/span>; and in Jos 21:36<\/span> along with Yaha, edemoth, and Mepha‘ath. The name also occurs on the Moabite stone, line 27. No modern equivalent has been recovered. The meaning of the name is the general one of wall<\/em> or fence<\/em>.<\/p>\n Ramoth in Gilead<\/em> ] Jos 20:8<\/span>; Jos 21:38<\/span> (with Maanaim), Ramoth of Gilead, 1Ki 4:13<\/span>, etc. It has been variously identified with Es-Sal (because of the military and administrative importance of this site, and the statement of Eusebius and Jerome that Ramoth Gilead lay 15 Roman miles W. of Philadelphia = Rabbath-‘Ammon), and with the ruins called el-Jal‘d, 6 miles N. of es-Sal. The Biblical data, however, imply a site N. of the Jabbo. Some have fixed on Jerash, but a site still further N. seems necessary. There Gadara (because it must always have been a fortress of importance, debateable between Israel and Aram, and because it is not otherwise mentioned in the O.T.) and Remtheh (both because of its position and its name) seem most suitable. Salad has been suggested, but it lies too far E., and its own name was too well known. See further HGHL<\/em> 587 f., G. A. Cooke in Driver’s Deuteronomy<\/em> (3rd ed.), Add. p. xx; Cheyne, E. B.<\/em> 4014 ff.<\/p>\n Golan<\/em> ] Jos 20:8<\/span>; Jos 21:27<\/span>. The of Josephus (XIII. Ant.<\/em> xv. 3; 1 B.J.<\/em> iv. 4, 8) was in Eusebius’ time ‘a very large village in Batanea.’ To-day the name Jauln corresponds to the of the Greek period, E. of the Lake of Galilee and between the Yarmk and ermon. Schumacher identifies the town with the modern Saem-el-Jaulan, 17 miles E. of the Lake. See HGHL<\/em> 444 n. 2, 536, 553.<\/p>\n Verse 43<\/span>. Bezer in the wilderness<\/B><\/I>] As the cities of refuge are generally understood to be types of the salvation provided by Christ for sinners; so their names have been thought to express some attribute of the Redeemer of mankind. See them explained Jos 20:7-8<\/span>.<\/P> <\/P> I SUPPOSE the last nine verses of this chapter to have been added by either Joshua<\/I> or Ezra<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n [Namely], Bezer in the wilderness<\/strong>,…. In Jos 20:8<\/span>, it is added “upon the plain”; this perhaps was the wilderness of Moab, in the plains of it, the same with Bozrah, see Jer 48:24<\/span> and in the Apocrypha:<\/p>\n “Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,” (1 Maccabees 5:28)<\/p>\n it was in the<\/p>\n plain country of the Reubenites<\/strong>, or lay in that part of the country which was allotted to them, and which they gave to the Levites, 1Ch 6:78<\/span>,<\/p>\n and Ramoth in Gilead of the Gadites<\/strong>; it lay in that part of Mount Gilead, and among the cities of it, which fell to the share of the tribe of Gad, and was by them given to the Levites, 1Ch 6:80<\/span>, this city is frequently in Scripture called Ramothgilead; see 1Ki 4:13<\/span><\/p>\n and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites<\/strong>, or “Gaulon”, as the Septuagint, and from hence the country round about was called Gaulanitis; all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, was given to the half tribe of Manasseh, and out of it this city was given by them to the Levites, 1Ch 6:71<\/span>, and appointed a city of refuge: now as these cities were typical of Christ, there may be something observed in the names of them as agreeing with him. “Bezer” signifies “a fortified place”; Christ is the fortress, mountain, and place of defence for his people, and strong hold to which the prisoners of hope turn, the strong tower whither the righteous run and are safe. “Ramoth” signifies “exaltations”; which may point both at the exaltation of Christ in human nature at the right hand of God, and the exaltation of his people by him, who are raised by him from a low estate to sit among princes, and to inherit the throne of glory, and by whom he is exalted in his person, office, and grace. “Golan” signifies “revealed” or” manifested”: so Christ has been manifest in the flesh, and is revealed to sinners, when they are called by his grace; to whom they flee for refuge, and lay hold on him, the hope set before them.<\/p>\n 43<\/strong>. <\/strong> Bezer <\/strong> This city is mentioned in Jos 20:8<\/span>; Jos 21:36<\/span>, and 1Ch 6:63<\/span>. By some it is thought to be the same as Bosor. 1Ma 5:36 . It may possibly be the modern Berza of Robinson. <\/p>\n Ramoth in Gilead <\/strong> By some writers considered the same as Ramath-mizpeh. Comp. Jos 20:8<\/span>, with Deut 13:26. It was situated fifteen Roman miles west of Rabbath-Ammon. <\/p>\n Golan in Bashan <\/strong> According to Eusebius it was a large village in Batanaea even in his day. The district received its name Gaulonitis from Golan.<\/p>\n Bezer: Bezer is the same as Bozra, formerly a royal city of Edom. See note on Gen 36:33. Jos 20:8 <\/p>\n Ramoth: Ramoth was a celebrated city in the mountains of Gilead, placed by Eusebius fifteen miles east from Philadelphia or Ammon, and by Jerome in the neighbourhood of Jabbok, and consequently north of Philadelphia. Jos 21:38, 1Ki 4:13, 1Ki 22:3, 1Ki 22:4, 1Ch 6:80 <\/p>\n Golan: This city gave name to the district of Gaulonitis, now called Djolan, which comprises the plain to south of Djedour or Iturea, and to the west of Haouran: its southern frontier is the Nahar Aweired, by which it is separated from the district of Erbad, and the Sheriat el Mandhour, which separates it from the district of El Kefarat: on the west it is limited by the territory of Feik, and on the north-west by Djebel Heish, or mount Hermon. Jos 21:27, 1Ch 6:71 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jos 21:36 – Bezer 1Ch 6:73 – Ramoth 2Ch 18:2 – Ramothgilead Jer 48:24 – Bozrah<\/p>\n [Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites. 43.
