What does Joshua 13:20 mean?

Question

Accepted Answer

Joshua 13:20 lists three specific places—Bethpeor, Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth—as part of the territory being described. This verse is part of a larger section where the land east of the Jordan River is being detailed, especially the areas assigned to the tribes of Israel. In this passage, God is speaking to Joshua, giving him instructions about the land that remains to be divided among the Israelites. The verse is part of a list naming towns and regions that were formerly controlled by other peoples but are now included in Israel’s inheritance. These names help mark out the boundaries and important locations within the territory given to the tribes, especially Reuben and Gad.
