Numbers 32

33. Moses assigns them the land
39. They conquer it.














Atroth-shophan
This name is a compound of two elements. "Atroth" can be linked to the Hebrew root "atarah," meaning "crown" or "wreath," symbolizing honor or authority. "Shophan" is less clear but may relate to a personal or clan name. The mention of Atroth-shophan in this context suggests a place of significance, possibly a settlement or region that was part of the land allocation for the tribes of Reuben and Gad. Historically, this reflects the Israelites' transition from a nomadic lifestyle to establishing permanent settlements, fulfilling God's promise of land to Abraham's descendants.

Jazer
The name "Jazer" is derived from the Hebrew "Ya'zer," meaning "helpful" or "helped." Jazer was a significant city east of the Jordan River, known for its fertile land and strategic location. It was initially conquered by the Israelites under Moses' leadership (Numbers 21:32). The allocation of Jazer to the tribes of Reuben and Gad underscores God's provision and faithfulness in granting His people a land that would sustain them. This city later became a Levitical city, emphasizing its spiritual and communal importance.

Jogbehah
The name "Jogbehah" is believed to come from the Hebrew root "gabhah," meaning "to be high" or "exalted." This suggests that Jogbehah was likely situated on elevated terrain, providing a strategic advantage and a sense of security. The mention of Jogbehah in the context of land distribution highlights the importance of geography in the Israelites' settlement patterns. It reflects God's wisdom in providing His people with diverse and resource-rich territories, ensuring their prosperity and stability in the Promised Land.

Verse 35. - Atroth, Shophan. Rather, "Atroth-Shophan," another Ataroth, the site of which is unknown. Jaazer. See on verse 1. Jogbehah. Now perhaps Jebeiha, to the north of Jaazer (cf. Judges 8:11). All these places were only temporarily occupied by the Gadites, and fell to Reuben in the subsequent division.
