Numbers 32:36
And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities,.... The first of these is the same with Nimrah, Numbers 32:3, and the other is the same with Betharam, Joshua 13:27, it is called in the Jerusalem Talmud {r}, Bethramtha, and so by the Syrians, Bethramphta; and to the same place Herod gave the name of Livias or Julias {s}: these cities the children of Gad built or repaired for their families:
and folds for sheep; they also built for their cattle, as they promised to do, and Moses enjoined them, Numbers 32:16.
