VERSE 3 
 - south quarter.
   * Ex 23:31 Jos 15:1-12 Eze 47:13,19-23
- salt sea eastward.
  The lake Asphaltites, Dead sea, or Salt sea, is, according to
  the most authentic accounts, about 70 miles in length, and 18
  in breadth.  Viewing this sea from the spot where the Jordan
  discharges its waters into it, it takes a south-easterly
  direction, visible for ten or fifteen miles, when it
  disappears in a curve towards the east.  Its surface is
  generally unruffled, from the hollow of the basin in which it
  lies scarcely admitting the free passage necessary for a
  strong breeze:  it is, however, for the same reason, subject
  to whirlwinds or squalls of short duration.  The mountains on
  each side are apparently separated by a distance of eight
  miles; but the expanse of water at this point has been
  supposed not to exceed five or six:  as it advances towards
  the south, it evidently increases in breadth.  The acrid
  saltness of its waters is much greater than that of the sea;
  and of such specific gravity that bodies will float on it that
  would sink in common sea-water.  It is probably on this
  account that few fish can live in it; though the monks of St.
  Saba affirmed to Dr. Shaw, that they had seen fish caught in
  it.

VERSE 15 
 - two tribes.
  These two tribes inherited the dominions of Sihon and Og, the
  two vanquished kings of the Amorites, which extended from the
  Arnon to Mount Hermon.  Of those counties, Moses gave to the
  tribe of Reuben the south-west part, which was bounded on the
  south by the river Arnon, on the west by Jordan, and on the
  north and east by the tribe of Gad.  The tribe of Gad was
  bounded by the river Jordan and tribe of Reuben on the west,
  by the half tribe of Manasseh on the north, by the kingdom of
  the Amorites and Arabia Deserta on the East, and by the tribe
  of Reuben on the south.  The part belonging to the tribe of
  Manasseh was bounded by the tribe of Gad on the south, by the
  sea of Galilee and part of Jordan on the west, by Hermon and
  Lebanon on the north, and by the mountains of Trachonitis on
  the east.

- on this side Jordan.
   * Nu 32:32

VERSE 16


VERSE 17 
 - are the names.
  It is worthy of remark, that Moses does not follow any order
  hitherto used in arranging the tribes, but places them exactly
  in the order in which they possessed the land, and according
  to their fraternal relationship.  Judah is first, having the
  first lot, in the South (Jos ch. 15); and next to him is
  Simeon, because his inheritance was "within the inheritance of
  the children of Judah." (Jos 19:1.)  Benjamin, the third, had
  his portion between "Judah and the children of Joseph." (Jos
  11 18:11.)  Dan was the fourth, and his lot was westward of
  Benjamin.  (Jos 19:40, 41.)  Manasseh and his brother Ephraim
  had their inheritances behind that of Benjamin.  (Jos 16:7.)
  Next these dwelt Zebulun and Issachar, (Jos 19:10-17;) and
  then Asher and Naphtali.  (Jos 19:24-32.)
