And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities
The first of these is the same with Nimrah, ( Numbers 32:3
) , and the other is the same with Betharam, ( Joshua 13:27
) , it is called in the Jerusalem Talmud F18,
Bethramtha, and so by the Syrians, Bethramphta; and to the same
place Herod gave the name of Livias or Julias F19: these
cities the children of Gad built or repaired for their families:
and folds for sheep;
they also built for their cattle, as they promised to do, and
Moses enjoined them, ( Numbers
32:16 Numbers
32:24 Numbers
32:26 ) .
