In biblical times, valleys were fertile and suitable for agriculture, making them valuable for settlement and cultivation. The valley mentioned here is part of the Transjordan region, which was known for its rich pastures and strategic importance.Beth-haram Beth-haram, also known as Beth-aram, is identified with the modern site of Tell Iktanu. It was one of the cities given to the tribe of Gad. The name means "house of the height," indicating its elevated position. This city was part of the territory conquered by the Israelites under Moses and later settled by the tribes of Israel.Beth-nimrah Beth-nimrah, meaning "house of the leopard," was another city allocated to the tribe of Gad. It is associated with the modern site of Tell Bleibil. The city was strategically located near the Jordan River, providing access to water resources and trade routes. Its mention highlights the importance of the region for the Gadites.Succoth Succoth, meaning "booths" or "shelters," is historically significant as the place where Jacob built shelters for his livestock after meeting Esau (<a href="/genesis/33-17.htm">Genesis 33:17</a>). It was also a stopping point for the Israelites during the Exodus (<a href="/exodus/12-37.htm">Exodus 12:37</a>). The city's location near the Jordan River made it a key site for trade and travel.and Zaphon Zaphon, meaning "north," was a city in the territory of Gad. Its name suggests a northern location within the region. The city is less frequently mentioned in biblical texts, but its inclusion here indicates its role in defining the boundaries of the land allocated to the tribe of Gad.with the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon Sihon was an Amorite king whose kingdom was conquered by the Israelites under Moses (<a href="/numbers/21-21.htm">Numbers 21:21-31</a>). Heshbon was his capital city. The defeat of Sihon was a significant victory for the Israelites, as it opened the way for their settlement in the Transjordan region. This conquest fulfilled part of God's promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham.(the territory on the east side of the Jordan up to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth) The "east side of the Jordan" refers to the land east of the Jordan River, known as the Transjordan. The Sea of Chinnereth, also known as the Sea of Galilee, was a freshwater lake that served as a vital resource for the surrounding regions. This description of the territory's boundaries emphasizes the extent of the land given to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, highlighting God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises to Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/b/beth-haram.htm">Beth-haram</a> A city in the territory allotted to the tribe of Gad, located in the Jordan Valley.
