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.

VERSE 34
- 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.
- See on ver.
* :3; 21:20; 33:45,46
- Aroer.
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.

VERSE 36

mentioned by Eusebius, five miles north from Livias.
Burckhardt says, that "in the valley of the Jordan, south of
Abou Obeida, are the ruins of Nemrim, probably the Beth-nimrah
of the Scriptures."

Elealeh is placed, by Eusebius, a mile from Heshbon. It is
now called El Aal, "the high," and is situated on a hill.
VERSE 38
- Nebo.
* Isa 46:1
- Baal-meon.
This town is placed, by Eusebius and Jerome, nine miles from
Heshbon, at the foot of mount Abarim.

the names of the cities.
