Joshua 13:25

Joshua 13:25 -

Aroer that is before Rabbah . A different Aroer to that mentioned in Joshua 13:9 . This was near (Hebrew, opposite to, the expression being equivalent to the French en face ) Rabbah, or the great city of the children of Ammon. Keil supposes that this territory had been taken from the Ammonites by Sihon, since the Israelites were not permitted to possess themselves of the land of the Ammonites ( Deuteronomy 2:19 ). For Rabbah, see 2 Samuel 11:1 ; 2 Samuel 12:26 . It is called Rabbath in Deuteronomy 3:11 .
