“And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Beth–jeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdoth–pisgah:”
Sihon's territorial extent — And the Arabah to the Sea of Chinnereth on the east, and as far as the edge of the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, on the south, on the road to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south under the slopes of Pisgah. Sihon's kingdom extends from the Dead Sea region northward, encompassing the Arabah (the rift valley). Chinnereth (the Sea of Galilee), the Salt Sea (Dead Sea), and geographic features like Beth-jeshimoth and Mount Pisgah establish the full extent of his domain. Pisgah is Moses' death-place, affirming the chronological continuity with Moses' generation.
