It is referenced in the Book of Numbers, which details the journey and encampments of the Israelites as they moved towards the Promised Land.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Jogbehah is mentioned in <a href="/numbers/32-35.htm">Numbers 32:35</a>, where it is listed among the cities that the tribe of Gad fortified after the conquest of the Amorite territories. The passage reads: "Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah," (<a href="/numbers/32-35.htm">Numbers 32:35</a>). This indicates that Jogbehah was one of the cities that the Gadites rebuilt and fortified, suggesting its strategic importance in the region.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b><br><br>Jogbehah was located in the territory east of the Jordan River, an area that was allocated to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. This region, known as Gilead, was characterized by its fertile land and strategic position, making it a valuable asset for the Israelites. The fortification of cities like Jogbehah was crucial for the defense and stability of the newly acquired territories.<br><br>The exact location of Jogbehah is not definitively known today, but it is generally believed to have been situated in the northern part of the Transjordan, possibly near the modern-day city of Ajloun in Jordan. The region's topography, with its hills and valleys, would have provided natural defenses, complementing the man-made fortifications.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The fortification of Jogbehah and other cities by the tribe of Gad reflects the broader theme of settlement and establishment in the Promised Land, a key aspect of Israelite identity and divine promise. The act of rebuilding and fortifying these cities symbolizes the transition from a nomadic lifestyle to a settled, agrarian society, fulfilling God's covenant with the patriarchs.<br><br>Moreover, the mention of Jogbehah in the context of the Gadites' inheritance underscores the importance of obedience and faithfulness to God's commands. The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had requested to settle in the Transjordan because of its suitability for their livestock, and Moses granted their request on the condition that they assist in the conquest of Canaan. Their compliance with this condition, as evidenced by their fortification of cities like Jogbehah, highlights the theme of communal responsibility and cooperation among the tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>Jogbehah serves as a testament to the historical and spiritual journey of the Israelites as they transitioned from wanderers to a nation established in the land promised to their ancestors. Its mention in the biblical narrative provides insight into the practical and theological challenges faced by the Israelites as they sought to fulfill their divine mandate.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jogbehah</span><p>an exalting; high<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jogbehah</span><p>(<i>lofty</i>), one of the cities on the east of Jordan which were built and fortified by the tribe of Gad when they took possession of their territory.
