Bible Comments

And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

Atroth, Shophan - or Zaphon (Joshua 13:27). The English translation after the Vulgate, which has Etroth et Sophan, makes Ataroth and Shophan different places, whereas Shophan seems added to the former to distinguish it from the other Ataroth [Septuagint, Kariatham]. Jaazer - near a famed fountain, Ain Hazier, the waters of which flow into Wady Schaib, about 15 miles from Hesbon.
