Deuteronomy 4:43 - Chapter 4:44—chapter 26:19. Summary

Names of the cities set apart. Bezer ; LXX . βοσόρ ; one of the cities of the plain or table-land of the Amorites, on the east of Jordan ( Deuteronomy 3:10 ; Joshua 20:8 ), afterwards a Levitical city in the tribe of Reuben ( Joshua 21:36 ). It is probably the Bosor of 1 Macc. 5:36; it has not been identified with any existing locality, but the ruined heaps of Burazin to the east of Hesban, or those of Berza in the same district, may mark its site. Ramoth in Gilead ; probably the same as Ramoth-mizpeh ( Joshua 13:26 ); it lay to the northwest of Philadelphia (Rabba or Rabbath-Ammon, hod . Amman), on the Jabbok (' Onom .,' s . v ." Rammoth" and " Remmoth "); a Levitical city in the tribe of Gad ( Joshua 21:38 ), hod . Es Salt, six hours from Amman (Von Raumer, Porter). Golan in Bashan . Eusebius identifies this with Gaulon, a very large village in Batanaea, from which the surrounding region had its name, viz. Gaulonitis, hod. Jolan ('Onom.,' s . v . "Gaulon"); it was a Levitical city in the tribe of Manasseh ( Joshua 21:27 ; 1 Chronicles 6:71 ); it has not been identified.
