Joshua 13:25

And their coast was Jazer ,.... Their southern coast; of Jazer, see Numbers 21:32 ; where it is called Jaazer, and is mentioned in Isaiah 16:8 ; and in Jeremiah 48:32 , where it is spoken of as a city of Moab, as it was in the days of those prophets:

and all the cities of Gilead ; which lay in those parts, for the whole was not given to this tribe, half of Gilead was given to the half tribe of Manasseh, Joshua 13:31 ,

and half the land of the children of Ammon ; not what then belonged to them, but what had been taken from them by the Amorites; and which Israel taking from them, had a right to retain, though they were forbid meddling with any of their land in present possession; see Deuteronomy 2:19 Judges 11:13 ,

unto Aroer that is before Rabbath ; Aroer was a city of Moab, situated on the river Arnon, Joshua 13:9 ; and stood over against Rabbath, a city of the Amorites, since called Philadelphia, the same that Joab took, 2 Samuel 12:26 ; though Reland thinks F14 Palestin. Illustrat. tom. 2. p. 583. , that according to the situation of these cities another Aroer must be here meant, and which belonged to the Amorites.
