SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:26
Y desde Hesbón hasta Ramat-mizpa, y Betonim; y desde Mahanaim hasta el término de Debir;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 13:26
Verse 26. Ramath-mizpeh] The same as Ramoth-gilead. It was one of the cities of refuge, chap. xx. 8; Deut. iv. 47. Mahanaim] Or the two camps. Situated on the northern side of the brook Jabbok, celebrated for the vision of the two camps of angels which Jacob had there; see Gen. xxxii. 2.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim , etc.] This was their coast from the south to the north, and so describes their eastern border, which reached from Heshbon, given to the tribe of Reuben, ( Joshua 13:7); to these places mentioned; Ramathmizpeh, the same with Ramothgilead, which Jerom says was a village in his time, and lay two miles from Philadelphia or Rabbath before mentioned, to the east; it should be to the west; of Betonim we nowhere else read, it seems to have been near to Ramath: and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir ; the former of these was the place where the angels met Jacob, and who gave it the name from thence; and in later times a city of this name was built there, and was near the river Jabbok, ( Genesis 32:2); Debir is different from that in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:15); in the Septuagint version here it is called Daibon, perhaps the same with Dibon, the tribe of Gad rebuilt, and is called Dibongad, ( Numbers 32:34 33:45); unless Lidbar here should be the same with Lodebar in Gilead, ( 2 Samuel 17:27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-33 - The land must be divided among the tribes. It is the will of God tha every man should know his own, and not take that which is another's The world must be governed, not by force, but right. Wherever ou habitation is placed, and in whatever honest way our portion is assigned, we should consider them as allotted of God; we should be thankful for, and use them as such, while every prudent method shoul be used to prevent disputes about property, both at present and in future. Joshua must be herein a type of Christ, who has not onl conquered the gates of hell for us, but has opened to us the gates of heaven, and having purchased the eternal inheritance for all believers will put them in possession of it. Here is a general description of the country given to the two tribes and a half, by Moses. Israel must know their own, and keep to it; and may not, under pretence of their being God's peculiar people, encroach on their neighbours. Twice in thi chapter it is noticed, that to the tribe of Levi Moses gave n inheritance: see Nu 18:20. Their maintenance must be brought out of all the tribes. The ministers of the Lord should show themselve indifferent about worldly interests, and the people should take car they want nothing suitable. And happy are those who have the Lord God of Israel for their inheritance, though little of this world falls to their lot. His providences will supply their wants, his consolation will support their souls, till they gain heavenly joy and everlastin pleasures __________________________________________________________________
