Josué 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 13:9

From Aroer, that [is] on the bank of the river Arnon
A city belonging to Moab, from whence the description begins, the river Arnon, on which it was situated, being the border between Moab and the Amorites, ( Numbers 21:13 ) ;

and the city that [is] in the midst of the river;
or "even the city"; meaning the same city of Aroer, it lying both on the bank of it, and in the middle of it, or it was a double city, as may seem from ( Isaiah 17:2 ) ; and so differently situated at that river:

and all the plains of Medeba unto Dibon;
of these two places, see ( Numbers 21:30 ) ; between them lay a plain, which some take to be the plain of Moab; but it rather seems to be a plain that was between these two places, and, according to ( Joshua 13:17 ) , Dibon itself was in a plain.

7 repartindo-a agora entre as nove tribos e a metade da tribo de Manassés”.

8 Com a outra metade da tribo de Manassés, as tribos de Rúben e de Gade já haviam recebido a herança a leste do Jordão, conforme Moisés, servo do SENHOR, lhes tinha designado.

9 Esse território se estendia de Aroer, na margem do ribeiro do Arnom, e da cidade situada no meio do vale desse ribeiro, incluindo todo o planalto de Medeba até Dibom,

10 e todas as cidades de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que governava em Hesbom, e prosseguia até a fronteira dos amonitas.
