The possessions of the Gadites are now described in this valley as far north as the Sea of Galilee.<\/p>\n Beth-aram<\/em> ] or Beth-haran, the modern Beit-haran<\/em> (Num 32:36<\/span>). In later times it was known as Bethramphtha, and was called Julias or Livias by Herod Antipas in honour of the Emperor Augustus.<\/p>\n Beth-nimrah<\/em> ] or Nimrah<\/em> (Num 32:3<\/span>), which name still survives in the Nahr Nimrn<\/em>, close to one of the fords of Jordan just above Jericho.<\/p>\n and Succoth<\/em> ] (“ Booths<\/em> ”), in the Jordan valley, between Peniel, near the ford of the torrent Jabbok, and Shechem (Gen 32:30<\/span>; Gen 33:18<\/span>). It is famous ( a<\/em>) in the history of Jacob’s return from Padan-aram; of ( b<\/em>) Gideon’s pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna (Jdg 8:5-17<\/span>); ( c<\/em>) as the spot at which the brass foundries were placed for casting the metal-work of the Temple (1Ki 7:46<\/span>; 2Ch 4:17<\/span>). Its position has not been exactly ascertained, and no place resembling Zaphon<\/em> also has yet been discovered.<\/p>\n Jordan and his border<\/em> ] See above, Jos 13:23<\/em><\/span>.

Beth-aram<\/B><\/I>] This city was rebuilt by Herod, and called Livias<\/I>, in honour of Livia<\/I>, the wife of Augustus<\/I>. Josephus calls it Julias<\/I>, Julia being the name which the Greeks commonly give to Livia<\/I>. – Calmet<\/I>.<\/P> <\/P> Succoth<\/B><\/I>] A place between Jabbok and Jordan where Jacob pitched his tents<\/I>, from which circumstance it obtained its name, see Ge 33:17<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Rest of the kingdom of Sihon; <\/B>the northern part of his kingdom. <\/P> <\/p>\n And in the valley, Betharam<\/strong>,….

E.<\/p>\n On the north, the territory of Gad seems to have extended to the Jabbok, and only to have stretched beyond the Jabbok at Mahanaim, which formed the boundary of half-Manasseh, according to Jos 13:30<\/span>. In the valley of the Jordan, on the other hand, the boundary reached to the Sea of Galilee. “ The valley<\/em> ” is the valley of the Jordan, or the Arabah from Wady Hesbn above the Dead Sea up to the Sea of Galilee, along the east side of the Jordan, which belonged to the kingdom of Sihon (Jos 12:3<\/span>; Deu 3:17<\/span>). The northern boundary of the tribe of Reuben must have touched the Jordan in the neighbourhood of the Wady Hesbn. In the Jordan valley were Beth-haram<\/em>, the future Libias<\/em>, and present er Rameh<\/em> (see at Num 32:36<\/span>); Beth-nimra<\/em>, according to the Onom.<\/em> five Roman miles to the north, the present ruin of Nimrein<\/em> (see at Num 32:36<\/span>); Succoth<\/em>, according to the Onom.<\/em> trans Jordanem in parte Scythopoleos<\/em> (see at Gen 33:17<\/span>); Zaphon<\/em> (i.e., north), probably not far from the southern extremity of the Sea of Galilee. “ The rest of the kingdom of Sihon<\/em>,” the other part having been given to the Reubenites (Jos 13:21<\/span>). <\/p>\n 27<\/strong>. <\/strong> The valley <\/strong> The Jordan valley from the border of Reuben northward to the sea of Chinnereth. Beth-aram <\/strong> is doubtless the same as Beth-haran <\/em> in Num 32:36<\/span>. In Eusebius, Jerome, and the Talmud it is called Bethramtha. It has not been accurately identified, but very probably will be found at the ruins called er-Ram just north of the Wady Heshban. The site of Beth-nimrah <\/strong> is still preserved in Nimrin, located, according to Robinson’s map, near the mouth of the Wady Shoaib, and about twelve miles north of er-Ram. In Num 32:3<\/span>, it is called simply Nimrah. <\/em> From its abundance of water and likeness of name in the Septuagint it seems to meet the requirements of the Bethabara of the New Testament. See note on Joh 1:28<\/span>. <\/p>\n Succoth <\/strong> An important place east of the Jordan, where Jacob built a house and made booths for his cattle after his meeting with Esau. Gen 33:17<\/span>. Its exact location is unknown. Zaphon <\/strong> is mentioned again only at Jdg 12:1<\/span>, where see note. No modern trace of it has been discovered. <\/p>\n The rest of the kingdom of Sihon <\/strong> That is, the portion of it that was left after allotting the southern part to the tribe of Reuben. See note on Jos 13:21<\/span>. <\/p>\n Sea of Chinnereth <\/strong> See note on Jos 11:2<\/span>. The subsequent fate of the children of Gad was very like that of the tribe of Reuben.
