The name "Atroth" means "crowns" or "walled places," suggesting a fortified city. This location is part of the Transjordan region, east of the Jordan River, which was known for its fertile land suitable for livestock. The Reubenites and Gadites, who had large herds, requested this land from Moses. The mention of Atroth-shophan highlights the strategic and agricultural value of the area. This allocation reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land, as well as the practical needs of the tribes.<p><b>Jazer</b><br>Jazer was a significant city in the territory given to the tribe of Gad. It was located near the border of Ammon and was known for its vineyards. The city is mentioned in several other biblical passages, including <a href="/isaiah/16-8.htm">Isaiah 16:8-9</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32</a>, where it is associated with the Moabites. Jazer's location made it a key site for trade and military strategy. The conquest of Jazer by the Israelites, as recorded in <a href="/numbers/21-32.htm">Numbers 21:32</a>, demonstrates God's provision and the Israelites' obedience in taking possession of the land. The city's vineyards symbolize abundance and blessing, aligning with the biblical theme of God providing for His people.<p><b>Jogbehah</b><br>Jogbehah is another town allocated to the tribe of Gad. It is mentioned in the context of Gideon's pursuit of the Midianites in <a href="/judges/8-11.htm">Judges 8:11</a>, indicating its strategic importance in military campaigns. The name "Jogbehah" means "lofty" or "elevated," suggesting a location on higher ground, which would be advantageous for defense. The inclusion of Jogbehah in the list of towns emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the land distribution and the fulfillment of God's promises to the tribes. The historical context of Gideon's victory over the Midianites at Jogbehah underscores God's deliverance and the importance of faith and obedience in achieving victory.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/atroth-shophan.htm">Atroth-shophan</a></b><br>A location mentioned as part of the land settled by the tribes of Reuben and Gad.
