Joshua 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 13:11

And Gilead
The land of Gilead, which was part of the kingdom of Og, half of which was given to Reuben, and the other half to Gad:

and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites;
of which see ( Deuteronomy 3:14 ) ;

and all Mount Hermon;
called also Sirion, Shenir, and Sion, ( Deuteronomy 3:9 ) ( 4:48 ) ;

and all Bashan unto Salcah;
another part of the dominions of Og, ( Deuteronomy 3:10 ) .

Joshua 13:11 In-Context

9 It ran from Aroer by the rim of the Arnon Valley and the city in the middle of the valley through the whole Medeba plateau as far as Dibon.
10 It included all the cities of the Amorites' King Sihon, who ruled in Heshbon, as far as the Ammonite border.
11 It also included Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah—
12 the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and in Edrei. He survived as the last of the Rephaim. Moses had struck down and removed them.
13 But the Israelites didn't remove the Geshurites or the Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath still live among Israel today.
