VERSE 16
   This proposal was very equitable, and it was honestly made and
  faithfully executed; though it did not imply that all men
  capable of bearing arms should go, and so leave their families
  and possessions defenceless, but only a sufficient detachment
  of them.  Among the inhabitants of the land were the
  Ammonites, Moabites, Idumeans, and the remains of the
  Midianites and Amorites; and as it was impossible for the
  women and children to keep the defenced cities, when placed in
  them, many of the men of war must of course stay behind.  In
  the last census (ch. 26), the tribe of Reuben consisted of
  43,730 men; the tribe of Gad 40,500; and the tribe of Manasseh
  52,700; the half of which is 26,350; which together amount to
  110,580.  Now from Jos 4:13, we learn, that of these tribes
  only 40,000 armed men passed over Jordan to assist their
  brethren:  consequently 70,580 men were left behind for the
  defence of the women, the children, and the flocks:  which was
  amply sufficient for this purpose.

  If the persons concerned prevaricated, and so imposed on men,
  or if they afterwards refused to fulfil their engagement, God
  would most certainly detect and expose their wickedness, and
  inflict condign punishment upon them.  Of all the ways, says
  Dr. South, to be taken for the prevention of that great plague
  of mankind, Sin, there is none so rational and efficacious as
  to confute and baffle those motives by which men are induced
  to embrace it; and among all such motives, the heart of man
  seems to be chiefly overpowered and prevailed upon by two,
  viz. secrecy in committing sin, and impunity with respect to
  its consequences.  Accordingly, Moses, in this chapter, having
  to deal with a company of men suspected of a base and
  fraudulent design, though couched under a very fair pretence,
  as most such designs are, endeavors to quash it in its very
  conception, by secretly applying himself to encounter those
  secret motives and arguments, which he knew were the most
  likely to encourage them in it.  And this he does very
  briefly, but effectually, by assuring them, that how covertly
  and artificially soever they might carry on their dark
  project, yet their sin would infallibly find them out. Though
  the subject and occasion of these words are indeed particular,
  yet the design of them is manifestly of an universal import,
  as reaching the case of all transgressors, in their first
  entrance on any sinful act or course.

 - Dibon.
  Eusebius says that Dibon was a large town, near the river
  Arnon.  Burckhardt says, that when he was about an hour's
  distance north of the Modjeb or Arnon, he was shown to the
  N.E. the ruins of Diban, the ancient Dibon, situated in the
  low ground of the Koura, or plains of Moab.

  Aroer was situated, according to Eusebius, on a mountain on
  the north bank of the river Arnon.  This is confirmed by
  Burckhardt, who says it is called Araayr, and is seated on the
  edge of the precipice, at the foot of which the river flows.

  Abou Obeida, are the ruins of Nemrim, probably the Beth-nimrah
  of the Scriptures."
