Verse 1BashanBashan, one of the most fertile districts of the Holy Land, was bounded on the west by the Jordan and lake of Gennesareth, on the east by Trachonitis, on the south by the brook Jabbok, and on the north by mount Hermon; and seems to have been composed of two or three districts, on the south the land of Gilead, on the north the region of Argob, and east of both, the plain of Hauran. - See note on Deuteronomy 3:13, see note on 3:14, and see note on 3:15. The scenery of this elevated tract is described by Mr. Buckingham as extremely beautiful: its plains covered with a fertile soil; its hills covered with forests, and at every new turn presenting the most beautiful landscapes that can be imagined.Og1:4, 4:47, 29:7, 31:4; Numbers 21:33-35; Joshua 9:10, 12:4, 13:30; 1 Kings 4:19; Nehemiah 9:22; Psalm 135:10, 135:11, 136:20 EdreiThis town is placed by Eusebius about 25 miles northward from Bostri; and mentioned by Burckhardt under the name of Draa.ReciprocalExodus 14:6 - people; Numbers 32:33 - the kingdom; Deuteronomy 2:12 - as Israel did; 4:38 - as; 29:16 - through the nations; Joshua 2:10 - what ye did; 22:4 - get; 24:8 - General; Judges 11:19 - General Verse 2FearDeuteronomy 3:11, 20:3; Numbers 14:9; 2 Chronicles 20:17; Isaiah 41:10, 43:5; Acts 18:9, 27:24; Revelation 2:10 as thou didstDeuteronomy 2:24-37; Numbers 21:23-25ReciprocalExodus 23:31 - deliver the; Numbers 21:34 - Fear him; Deuteronomy 2:33 - the Lord; 3:6 - as we did; 29:16 - through the nations; Joshua 8:2 - do to Ai; 10:8 - General; Judges 11:26 - Heshbon Verse 3Deuteronomy 2:33, 2:34; Numbers 21:35; Joshua 13:12, 13:30ReciprocalNumbers 21:34 - for I have; Deuteronomy 7:2 - deliver; 31:4 - General; Joshua 10:39 - he left none; 2 Chronicles 13:16 - God delivered Verse 4all his citiesNumbers 32:33-42; Joshua 12:4, 13:30, 13:31 all the region1 Kings 4:13ReciprocalDeuteronomy 3:14 - Argob; Isaiah 33:9 - Bashan Verse 5Deuteronomy 1:28; Numbers 13:28; Habakkuk 3:1ReciprocalNehemiah 9:25 - strong; Psalm 103:13 - Like Verse 6we utterlyDeuteronomy 2:34, 20:16-18; Leviticus 27:28, 27:29; Numbers 21:2; Joshua 11:14 as we didDeuteronomy 3:2, 2:24, 2:34; Psalm 135:10-12, 136:19-21ReciprocalDeuteronomy 7:18 - shalt not; Joshua 12:2 - Sihon; Judges 11:26 - Heshbon; Ezekiel 9:6 - old Verse 7Deuteronomy 2:35; Joshua 8:27, 11:11-14

The Chaldee Targumist, who places it at Cesarea and Samaritan interpreter call it toor talga, "the mountain of snow," because of its being always covered with snow; and Jerome informs us, that it lies higher than Paneas or Philippi, and that in the summer time snow used to be carried from thence to Tyre. It is now call El Heish, and is comprised in the district of Kanneytra.

It is divided into two principal ridges, running parallel to each other in a north-north-east direction; the most westerly of which was properly called Libanus, and the easterly Anti-Libanus: the Hebrews did not make this distinction. It is computed to be fifteen or sixteen hundred fathoms in height. They are by no means barren, but are almost all well cultivated and well peopled; their summits being in many parts level, and forming extensive plains, in which are sown corn and all kinds of pulse. Vineyards, and plantations of olive, mulberry, and fig trees, are also cultivated in terraces formed by walls; and the soil of the declivities and hollows is most excellent, and produces abundance of corn, oil, and wine.ReciprocalGenesis 50:11 - beyond Jordan; Deuteronomy 11:29 - General; Joshua 1:4 - From the wilderness; 9:1 - Lebanon; 13:5 - Lebanon; 1 Kings 5:9 - Lebanon; Song of Songs 4:8 - from Lebanon; Jeremiah 22:6 - unto Verse 26the LordDeuteronomy 1:37, 31:2, 32:51, 32:52, 34:4; Numbers 20:7-12, 27:12-14; Psalm 106:32, 106:33; Isaiah 53:5, 53:6; Matthew 26:39 Let it1 Chronicles 17:4, 17:12, 17:13, 22:7-9, 28:2-4; Matthew 20:22; 2 Corinthians 12:8ReciprocalNumbers 32:5 - bring us; Deuteronomy 4:21 - General; 1 Kings 11:9 - angry; Psalm 99:8 - though Verse 27thee upDeuteronomy 34:1-4; Numbers 27:12 Pisgahor, the hill, Deuteronomy 3:17 lift upGenesis 13:14, 13:15Reciprocal50:11 - beyond Jordan; Numbers 21:20 - to the; 23:14 - Pisgah; Deuteronomy 4:22 - General; 12:10 - But when; 31:2 - Thou shalt not; 34:4 - I have caused; 2 Kings 7:2 - thou shalt see it Verse 28charge JoshuaDeuteronomy 1:38, 31:3, 31:7, 31:23; Numbers 27:18-23; 1 Chronicles 22:6, 22:11-16, 28:9, 28:10, 28:20; 1 Timothy 6:13; 6:14; 2 Timothy 2:1-3, 4:1-6 for he shallJoshua 1:2, 3:7-17; John 1:17; Acts 7:45; Habakkuk 3:1, JesusReciprocalGenesis 48:2 - strengthened; Numbers 27:23 - General; 1 Samuel 23:16 - strengthened; 1 Kings 2:1 - charged; Job 4:3 - and thou hast; Luke 22:43 - strengthening; Acts 18:23 - strengthening; 1 Thessalonians 2:11 - charged; Revelation 3:2 - strengthen Verse 29Deuteronomy 4:3, 4:46, 34:6; Numbers 25:3, 33:48, 33:49
