Commentary on Deuteronomy 4:43

Theological / Devotional

Bezer. From a word meaning “fortress” or “enclosure.” The word is translated “defence” in Job 22:25. The site is possibly Umm el-Ammad.

Ramoth. The word thus translated is from a root meaning “coral.” Ramoth played an important role in the later history of the kings of Israel (see 1 Kings 4:7, 13; 22:1-40; 2 Kings 8:28, 29). Now called Tell Ramith, this site lies 25 mi. east of the Jordan as the crow flies.

Golan. Probably from a word meaning “circle.” It is usually identified with the modern village Sahem el-Joldn, 18 mi. east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
