38<\/strong>. Ramoth in Gilead<\/em> ] See ch. Jos 20:8<\/span>; Mahanaim<\/em>, ch. Jos 13:26<\/span>.<\/p>\n And out of the tribe of Gad<\/strong>,…. Which also, as that of Reuben, lay on the other side Jordan:<\/p>\n Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs<\/strong>; of which see Jos 20:8<\/span>;<\/p>\n [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer<\/strong>; and is the sixth and last city of refuge in this account:<\/p>\n and Mahanaim with her suburbs<\/strong>; here it was the angels met Jacob, which gave rise to the name of the place, Ge 32:1<\/span>; afterwards a city was built here, and was on the borders of the tribe of Gad, and belonged to it, Jos 13:26<\/span>; mention is made of it in other places, 2Sa 2:8<\/span> 1Ki 2:8<\/span>.<\/p>\n ‘<\/strong> And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with her suburbs, Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs. Four cities in all.’ <\/p>\n Ramoth in Gilead makes up the sixth of the cities of refuge (see Jos 20:8<\/span>). It later features regularly in the conflicts with Syria. It is possibly Tell Ramith. Mahanaim means ‘two camps’. It was on the border of Gad with Manasseh (see Jos 13:30<\/span>), probably close to the northern bank of the River Jabbok. (Gad extended some kilometres north of the Jabbok). It was where Jacob met the angels of God before meeting Esau (Gen 32:2<\/span>). See also 2Sa 2:8<\/span>; 1Ki 2:8<\/span>. Heshbon was taken by Sihon of the Amorites from the Moabites and made his capital city (Num 21:26<\/span>). It was in the mountains some miles north east of the Dead Sea. Its site has not been identified. A Tell Hesban contained buildings from the iron age but no trace of an earlier city. But there are late bronze age sites nearby one of which could be the original Heshbon. <\/p>\n Jazer was a group of towns as well as a city and was frequently mentioned (see Jos 13:25<\/span>; Num 21:32<\/span>; Num 32:1<\/span>; Num 32:3<\/span>; Num 32:35<\/span>). It fell on the border between the Amorites and the Ammonites. During David’s time it furnished ‘mighty men of valour’ (1Ch 26:31<\/span>) and was one of the towns on the route of the census taking (2Sa 24:5<\/span>). In Isa 16:6-12<\/span> and Jer 48:28-34<\/span> it was once more regained by Moab, and even later by Ammon ( 1Ma 5:4 ). It may possibly be identified with Khirbet Gazzir on the Wadi Sza‘ib near es-Salt. These were the four levitical cities of Gad. <\/p>\n By an Homoceoteleuton (App-6) some scribe, writing as far as “four cities “at end of Jos 21:35, went back with his eye to the same words at the end of Jos 21:37, and omitted, by an accident, the two verses Jos 21:36 and Jos 21:37, and continued at Jos 21:38, which commences with the some words which end Jos 21:35. Hence they are not contained in the current text of the Hebrew Bible. The Authorized Version puts these verses in, however, without a note; the Revised Version also, but with a note. The two verses are contained in all the early printed Hebrew Bibles, the Septuagint and Vulgate, and very many codices. They were first omitted by Jacoh ben Chayim (1524, 1525), and the current Hebrew printed texts have followed him. <\/p>\n Ramoth: Jos 20:8, 1Ki 22:3, 1Ch 6:80 <\/p>\n Mahanaim: Gen 32:2, 2Sa 17:24, 2Sa 19:32 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 35:6 – six cities for refuge Deu 4:43 – Ramoth Jos 13:26 – Mahanaim 1Ki 4:13 – Ramothgilead 2Ki 8:28 – Ramothgilead Hos 6:8 – Gilead<\/p>\n And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs, 38.
