In Hebrew, it is "עֲרָבָה" (Aravah), which denotes a dry region. The Arabah is a significant geographical feature in the biblical narrative, representing the vast and often challenging wilderness that the Israelites traversed. This area is part of the Great Rift Valley, extending from the Sea of Galilee to the Gulf of Aqaba. Theologically, the Arabah can symbolize the trials and purification processes that God's people undergo, reminding believers of the spiritual journey from bondage to the Promised Land.<p><b>on the east side of the Jordan</b><br />The "east side of the Jordan" refers to the territory east of the Jordan River, which was allocated to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. In Hebrew, "Jordan" is "יַרְדֵּן" (Yarden), meaning "descender," reflecting the river's descent from the mountains to the Dead Sea. This phrase highlights the geographical and spiritual boundary that the Jordan River represented for the Israelites. Crossing the Jordan was a significant act of faith, symbolizing entry into God's promises. It serves as a metaphor for believers today, representing the transition from the old life to the new life in Christ.<p><b>as far as the Sea of the Arabah</b><br />The "Sea of the Arabah" is another name for the Dead Sea, known in Hebrew as "יָם הָעֲרָבָה" (Yam ha-Aravah). The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and is characterized by its high salinity, which prevents aquatic life. Historically, it was a boundary marker for the land of Israel. Spiritually, the Dead Sea can symbolize the end of the journey through the wilderness, a place of reflection on God's deliverance and faithfulness. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin and the need for spiritual renewal.<p><b>below the slopes of Pisgah</b><br />"Pisgah" refers to a mountain range in the region of Moab, with Mount Nebo being its most notable peak. In Hebrew, "Pisgah" is "פִּסְגָּה" (Pisgah), meaning "summit" or "peak." This is the location where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death, as recorded in <a href="/deuteronomy/34.htm">Deuteronomy 34</a>. The slopes of Pisgah represent a place of vision and revelation, where God allowed Moses to see the fulfillment of His promises, even though Moses himself would not enter the land. For believers, Pisgah symbolizes the hope and assurance of God's promises, encouraging them to trust in His faithfulness even when they cannot see the full picture.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/4-49.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">including all</span><br /><span class="heb">וְכָל־</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḵāl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
