Jeremiah 48:24 - John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Bible Comments

And upon Kerioth,.... Which once belonged to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:25; from this place Judas Iscariot is by some thought to have his name; as if it was "Ish Kerioth", "a man of Kerioth". Grotius takes it to be the Goiratha of Ptolemy:

and upon Bozrah; not in Idumea, but in Moab; the same with Bezer,

Joshua 21:36;

and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, for and near; all the rest of the cities not named, whether nearer or farther off from Aroer.

Jeremiah 48:24

24 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
