Verse 1 BashanBashan, one of the most fertile districts of the Holy Land, was bounded on the west by the Jordan and lake of Gennesareth, on the east by Trachonitis, on the south by the brook Jabbok, and on the north by mount Hermon; and seems to have been composed of two or three districts, on the south the land of Gilead, on the north the region of Argob, and east of both, the plain of Hauran. - See note on Deuteronomy 3:13, see note on 3:14, and see note on 3:15.

It is divided into two principal ridges, running parallel to each other in a north-north-east direction; the most westerly of which was properly called Libanus, and the easterly Anti-Libanus: the Hebrews did not make this distinction. It is computed to be fifteen or sixteen hundred fathoms in height. They are by no means barren, but are almost all well cultivated and well peopled; their summits being in many parts level, and forming extensive plains, in which are sown corn and all kinds of pulse. Vineyards, and plantations of olive, mulberry, and fig trees, are also cultivated in terraces formed by walls; and the soil of the declivities and hollows is most excellent, and produces abundance of corn, oil, and wine.Reciprocal Genesis 50:11 - beyond Jordan; Deuteronomy 11:29 - General; Joshua 1:4 - From the wilderness; 9:1 - Lebanon; 13:5 - Lebanon; 1 Kings 5:9 - Lebanon; Song of Songs 4:8 - from Lebanon; Jeremiah 22:6 - unto Verse 26 the Lord Deuteronomy 1:37, 31:2, 32:51, 32:52, 34:4; Numbers 20:7-12, 27:12-14; Psalm 106:32, 106:33; Isaiah 53:5, 53:6; Matthew 26:39 Let it 1 Chronicles 17:4, 17:12, 17:13, 22:7-9, 28:2-4; Matthew 20:22; 2 Corinthians 12:8 Reciprocal Numbers 32:5 - bring us; Deuteronomy 4:21 - General; 1 Kings 11:9 - angry; Psalm 99:8 - though Verse 27 thee up Deuteronomy 34:1-4; Numbers 27:12 Pisgahor, the hill, Deuteronomy 3:17 lift up Genesis 13:14, 13:15 Reciprocal 50:11 - beyond Jordan; Numbers 21:20 - to the; 23:14 - Pisgah; Deuteronomy 4:22 - General; 12:10 - But when; 31:2 - Thou shalt not; 34:4 - I have caused; 2 Kings 7:2 - thou shalt see it Verse 28 charge Joshua Deuteronomy 1:38, 31:3, 31:7, 31:23; Numbers 27:18-23; 1 Chronicles 22:6, 22:11-16, 28:9, 28:10, 28:20; 1 Timothy 6:13; 6:14; 2 Timothy 2:1-3, 4:1-6 for he shall Joshua 1:2, 3:7-17; John 1:17; Acts 7:45; Habakkuk 3:1, JesusReciprocal Genesis 48:2 - strengthened; Numbers 27:23 - General; 1 Samuel 23:16 - strengthened; 1 Kings 2:1 - charged; Job 4:3 - and thou hast; Luke 22:43 - strengthening; Acts 18:23 - strengthening; 1 Thessalonians 2:11 - charged; Revelation 3:2 - strengthen Verse 29 Deuteronomy 4:3, 4:46, 34:6; Numbers 25:3, 33:48, 33:49
