Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
32:3 Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh settled in the land that Israel had recently captured from Sihon the Amorite and Og of Bashan (cp. 21:21-35). • Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, and Elealeh have been linked with archaeological sites. • The location of Sibmah is unknown. • Though the location of a town called Nebo is unknown, it was certainly near a mountain or ridge of that same name, which was located along the escarpment that rises above the northern end of the Dead Sea. • The site named Beon is almost certainly the place called “Baal-meon” in 32:38, which probably corresponds to the ruins at Ma’in.
