“And in the valley, Betharam, etc.] The same with Bethharan, (see Gill on “<043236>Numbers 32:36”): and Bethnimrah; sometimes called Nimrah, (<043203>Numbers 32:3,36); near to which were some waters, called the waters of Nimrim, (<231506>Isaiah 15:6); It was in Jerom’s f287 time a large village; it seems to have its name from leopards, which perhaps had their haunts hereabout: and Succoth: the place where Jacob pitched his tent after he had passed over Jabbok; it is called in the Jerusalem Talmud f288 Thaarabah: and Zaphon; which in the same Talmud is Amatho or Amathus, which Jerom says f289 is a village beyond Jordan, twenty one miles from Pella to the south, though he places it in the tribe…”
