Clarke's Commentary on Numbers 32 :1

Barnes's Commentary on Numbers 32 :1

Jazer - Compare the marginal reference. This district, although included in the land of Gilead, seems to have had special attractions for the Israelite settlers. All travelers in Gilead, the modern Belka, bear witness to its richness as compared with the country to the west of the Jordan. Its general character is that of an upland pasture, undulating and thickly timbered. In the last respect its northern portions excel its southern; but for fertility of soil the southern province is preferred by the Arabs, in whose lips it has passed into a proverb: "Thou canst not find a country like the Belka."

Wesley's Commentary on Numbers 32 :1

32:1 Jazer - A city and country of the Amorites; Gilead - A mountainous country, famous for pasturage
