[Deuteronomy 2](/study/deuteronomy/2) [Deuteronomy 4](/study/deuteronomy/4) ## Commentary To verse 1 **Bashan:** Bashan, one of the most fertile districts of the Holy Land, was bounded on the west by the Jordan and lake of Gennesareth, on the east by Trachonitis, on the south by the brook Jabbok, and on the north by mount Hermon; and seems to have been composed of two or three districts, on the south the land of Gilead, on the north the region of Argob, and east of both, the plain of Hauran. - See note on [Deuteronomy 3:13](/kjv/deuteronomy/3/13), see note on [Deuteronomy 3:14](/kjv/deuteronomy/3/14), and see note on [Deuteronomy 3:15](/kjv/deuteronomy/3/15). The scenery of this elevated tract is described by Mr. Buckingham as extremely beautiful: its plains covered with a fertile soil; its hills covered with forests, and at every new turn presenting the most beautiful landscapes that can be imagined. **Og:** [Deuteronomy 1:4](/kjv/deuteronomy/1/4), [Deuteronomy 4:47](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/47), [Deuteronomy 29:7](/kjv/deuteronomy/29/7), [Deuteronomy 31:4](/kjv/deuteronomy/31/4), [Numbers 21:33-35](/kjv/numbers/21/33-35), [Joshua 9:10](/kjv/joshua/9/10), [Joshua 12:4](/kjv/joshua/12/4), [Joshua 13:30](/kjv/joshua/13/30), [1 Kings 4:19](/kjv/1-kings/4/19), [Nehemiah 9:22](/kjv/nehemiah/9/22), [Psalms 135:10](/kjv/psalms/135/10), [Psalms 135:11](/kjv/psalms/135/11), [Psalms 136:20](/kjv/psalms/136/20) **Edrei:** This town is placed by Eusebius about 25 miles northward from Bostri;
