27. The valley — The Jordan valley from the border of Reuben northward to the sea of Chinnereth. Beth-aram is doubtless the same as Beth-haran in Num_32:36. In Eusebius, Jerome, and the Talmud it is called Bethramtha. It has not been accurately identified, but very probably will be found at the ruins called er-Ram just north of the Wady Heshban. The site of Beth-nimrah is still preserved in Nimrin, located, according to Robinson’s map, near the mouth of the Wady Shoaib, and about twelve miles north of er-Ram. In Num_32:3, it is called simply Nimrah. From its abundance of water and likeness of name in the Septuagint it seems to meet the requirements of the Bethabara of the New Testament. See note on Joh_1:28.
Succoth — An important place east of the Jordan, where Jacob built a house and made booths for his cattle after his meeting with Esau. Gen_33:17. Its exact location is unknown. Zaphon is mentioned again only at Jdg_12:1, where see note. No modern trace of it has been discovered.
