Joshua 13:19

Joshua 13:19 -

Sibmah (see Numbers 32:38 ). The vine of Sibmah forms a feature in the lament of Isaiah ( Isaiah 16:8 ) and Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 48:32 ) over Moab. It was close by Heshbon, on the borders of Reuben and Gad. Zareth-shahar, or the splendour of the dawn, now garar, was on the borders of the Dead Sea. Canon Tristram, in his 'Land of Moab,' mentions the gorgeous colouring of the landscape here, more beautiful and varied, no doubt, at dawn than at any other time of the day.
