Joshua 13:31

Key Reflection

The border described here encompasses a significant portion of territory, including Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, as well as sixty cities from the villages of Jair within Bashan. This expansive land grant would have been understood by the original audience as securing a substantial and strategically important region for the tribes of Israel, reflecting divine approval and provision for their settlement and security in Canaan.
