Theological / Devotional

We will not inherit. They disavow any desire to claim inheritance west of Jordan.

This side Jordan. The same Hebrew word is translated “yonder side” and also “this side.” It is from the verb “to pass over,” “to go through.” The derived noun means “the region beyond,” and in the plural masculine form is applied to the Hebrews.
