Commentary on Numbers 32:36

Theological / Devotional

Beth-nimrah. Perhaps the modern Tell el-Bleibil, 6 mi. east of the Jordan and some 8 mi. north of the Dead Sea.

Beth-haran. Said by some to be the modern Tell Iktanu, some 7 mi. northeast of the mouth of the Jordan River.

Fenced cities. For the protection of the women and children to be left behind with their garrisons.

Folds for sheep. These would be built within the protection of the outer fortifications. This was excellent country for grazing, as the Moabites were fully aware (2 Kings 3:4).
