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 That land starts at Aroer on the rim of the Arnon River valley. It includes the town in the middle of the valley. It includes the high flatlands of Medeba all the way to Dibon.

10 It also includes all of the towns of Sihon, the king of the Amorites. He had ruled in Heshbon. That area reaches to the border of Ammon.

11 It also includes Gilead. It includes the territory of Geshur and Maacah. It includes Mount Hermon and the whole land of Bashan all the way to Salecah.

12 So it includes the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan. Og had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was one of the last of the Rephaites. Moses had won the battle over Sihon and Og. He had taken over their land.

13 But the people of Israel didn't drive out the people of Geshur and Maacah. So they continue to live among the people of Israel to this very day.
