and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them; that is, committed idolatry, which is spiritual fornication or whoredom; worshipped the idols either of the Amorites, who were destroyed by the Lord to make way for their first settlement; or of the Ishmaelites, whom they conquered, and whose land they dwelt in to the captivity.

(23, 24) The sons of half-Manasseh “in the land” east of Jordan. The translation should be: “And the children . . . dwelt in the land, from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir and mount Hermon. These were many.” Their territory extended from “Bashan,” the domain of Gad, in the south, to the mountains of Hermon, or Antilibanus, in the north.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Vers. 23, 24. half-tribe of Manasseh" is here very…
Vers. 23, 24. half-tribe of Manasseh" is here very briefly treated of. Manasseh and his brother Ephraim stand in the place of Joseph, both the children of Joseph"s Egyptian wife, Asenath, and born before the famine. Though Manasseh was the elder, Jacob gave the chief blessing (Gen_48:10-22) to Ephraim. The Manassites were descended from Manasseh through his son Machir, born of a Syrian concubine (Septuagint, Gen_46:20 Gen_1:23; Num_26:28-34; Jos_17:1-3; 1Ch_7:14, 1Ch_7:15) Machir evidently was spes gregis (though apparently not the only son, for see Asriel, or Ashriel, in above references), and is repeatedly mentioned with his son Gilead. It is probable that the division of the tribe was determined partly according to the energy of those who composed it at the time of division the more warlike being more adapted to the east of Jordan. Nevertheless Machir is distinctly mentioned westward, as well as with Gilead eastward (comp. Jud 5:14-17; Jos_13:29-31) (For the further prosecution of this part of the subject, see Exposition, 1Ch_7:14-19) Baal-hermon, etc. These three names need scarcely be read as different names for exactly the same region, but as designating different sides or heights of what was essentially one and the same well-known mountain district, with which would agree Psa_43:5, "Therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar." So, Deu_3:8-10 tells us that Hermon was called Sirion by the Sidonians; Shenir, i.q. Senir (rynic) exactly the same word in the Hebrew text in all the four places of its occurrence Song of Solomon, (Eze_27:5) by the Amorites. And the suggestion of Grove is likely enough, that Baal-hermon was the Phoenician cast of the name. If any point were to be gained by reading the names, however, as intended to cover exactly the same tract, it may be noted

(2) that the order of the names, going from the foreign to the native Hermon itself, would so far favour it.
