It was originally a Moabite city before being conquered by the Amorite king Sihon, as recorded in <a href="/numbers/21-25.htm">Numbers 21:25-26</a>. The Israelites, under Moses, defeated Sihon and took possession of Heshbon (<a href="/numbers/21-34.htm">Numbers 21:34-35</a>). This city later became a Levitical city, designated for the Levites who were responsible for religious duties and teaching the law. Heshbon's strategic location made it a significant city in biblical times, often mentioned in the context of Israel's battles and territorial expansions.<p><b>and Jazer</b><br>Jazer was another city east of the Jordan, also within the territory given to the tribe of Gad. It was known for its fertile land and was a center for agriculture and livestock. The city was captured by the Israelites during their conquest of the Transjordan region (<a href="/numbers/21-32.htm">Numbers 21:32</a>). Jazer is frequently mentioned in the context of the allotment of land to the tribes of Israel and the establishment of Levitical cities. The city’s agricultural prosperity is highlighted in <a href="/isaiah/16-8.htm">Isaiah 16:8-9</a>, where its vineyards are noted, indicating its economic importance.<p><b>together with their pasturelands</b><br>The mention of pasturelands indicates the provision for the Levites, who were given cities and surrounding lands to support their livelihood, as they did not receive a tribal inheritance like the other tribes (<a href="/numbers/35-2.htm">Numbers 35:2-3</a>). These pasturelands were essential for grazing livestock, which was a primary source of sustenance and economic activity. The allocation of pasturelands reflects the practical needs of the Levites, ensuring they could maintain their flocks and herds while fulfilling their religious duties. This provision underscores the importance of supporting those dedicated to spiritual service, a principle echoed in the New Testament regarding the support of church leaders (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-13.htm">1 Corinthians 9:13-14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/heshbon.htm">Heshbon</a></b><br>A significant city in the territory of Reuben, originally a Moabite city.
