Overview:
Be'on is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically within the context of the Israelite journey and settlement in the Promised Land. It is associated with the tribal allotments east of the Jordan River, an area rich in biblical history and significance.

Biblical References:
Be'on is referenced in the Book of Numbers, which details the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. In Numbers 32:3, the sons of Gad and Reuben express their desire to settle in the land of Jazer and Gilead, mentioning Be'on as part of the territory they wish to inhabit. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as follows: "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon."

Historical and Geographical Context:
Be'on is situated in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. This area was known for its fertile land and suitability for livestock, which made it attractive to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, who had large herds and flocks. The request to settle in this region was granted by Moses, provided that the men of these tribes would first assist in the conquest of Canaan west of the Jordan.

Tribal Significance:
The mention of Be'on in the context of the tribal allotments highlights the importance of land distribution among the tribes of Israel. The tribes of Reuben and Gad, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, were granted territories east of the Jordan, which included Be'on. This allocation was significant as it demonstrated the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land his descendants would inherit.

Theological Implications:
The settlement of Be'on and surrounding areas by the tribes of Reuben and Gad underscores themes of faithfulness and obedience to God's commands. The agreement to assist in the conquest of Canaan before settling in their chosen land reflects a commitment to communal responsibility and unity among the tribes of Israel. It also illustrates the balance between individual desires and collective obligations within the covenant community.

Archaeological Insights:
While specific archaeological evidence for Be'on is limited, the broader region of Gilead has been the subject of various archaeological studies. These studies provide insights into the ancient cultures and settlements that existed in the area during biblical times. The fertile nature of the land and its strategic location would have made it a desirable place for settlement, aligning with the biblical narrative.

Conclusion:
Be'on, as part of the tribal inheritance east of the Jordan, plays a role in the larger narrative of Israel's settlement in the Promised Land. Its mention in the Bible serves as a reminder of the faithfulness of God's promises and the importance of obedience and unity among His people.4445. puresso -- to be on fire, to be ill of a fever
