and in the valley
The term "valley" in Hebrew is "עֵמֶק" (emek), which often refers to a broad, flat area between hills or mountains. Valleys were significant in biblical times for agriculture due to their fertile soil and access to water. Spiritually, valleys can symbolize times of testing or growth, as they are places where life is sustained and battles are fought.

Beth-haram
This name means "house of the height" in Hebrew. It suggests a place of elevation or prominence, possibly indicating a strategic or fortified location. In a spiritual sense, it can remind believers of the importance of seeking higher ground in their faith journey, striving for spiritual elevation and closeness to God.

Beth-nimrah
Meaning "house of the leopard" or "house of the waters," this location was known for its abundant water sources. Water is a powerful biblical symbol of life, cleansing, and the Holy Spirit. Beth-nimrah's association with water can inspire believers to seek the refreshing and life-giving presence of God in their lives.

Succoth
This name means "booths" or "temporary shelters" in Hebrew. It is historically significant as the place where Jacob built shelters for his livestock (Genesis 33:17). Succoth reminds us of the transient nature of life and the importance of relying on God's provision and protection during our earthly journey.

Zaphon
Meaning "north" or "hidden," Zaphon was a city located in the northern part of the territory. The concept of "north" in biblical literature often symbolizes mystery or the unknown. Zaphon can encourage believers to trust in God's sovereignty over the unknown aspects of their lives, knowing that He holds all things in His hands.

the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon
Sihon was an Amorite king defeated by the Israelites under Moses' leadership (Numbers 21:21-31). His kingdom's inclusion in the inheritance of the tribes signifies God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to Israel. It serves as a reminder of God's power to overcome obstacles and grant victory to His people.

with the Jordan as its border
The Jordan River was a significant geographical and spiritual boundary for the Israelites. It represented a transition from the wilderness into the Promised Land. Crossing the Jordan symbolizes entering into God's promises and experiencing His faithfulness. It challenges believers to step out in faith and embrace the new life God offers.

to the lower end of the Sea of Chinnereth
The Sea of Chinnereth, also known as the Sea of Galilee, was a vital source of sustenance and trade. Its mention here highlights the abundance and provision found within the Promised Land. Spiritually, it can remind believers of the richness of life in Christ and the blessings that flow from a relationship with Him.

on the east side of the Jordan
This phrase emphasizes the specific location of the inheritance, highlighting the division of land among the tribes. It underscores the importance of understanding one's place within God's plan and the unique calling He has for each believer. It encourages Christians to embrace their God-given identity and purpose.

Verse 27. - The valley. The Emek (see Joshua 8:13). Beth-Nimrah (see Numbers 32:36). Afterwards Nimrim (Isaiah 15:6; Jeremiah 48:34). Now Nimrin. Succoth. i.e., booths. Here Jacob rested after his meeting with Esau (Genesis 33:17). Here Gideon "taught the men of Succoth," who had declined to provide food for his army (Judges 8:5, 7, 16). It is mentioned in connection with Zarthan, or Zaretan (cf. Joshua 3:16) as being in the tract or כִכַּר of the Jordan, where the metal work of the temple was cast (1 Kings 7:46; 2 Chronicles 4:17). Zaphon. Perhaps, and the North; what remained of the kingdom of Sihon, i.e., as is implied above, the part which was not assigned to Reuben. Jordan and his border. Literally, Jordan and a border (see note on ver. 23). The edge. Rather, the end (see note on ver. 24).
