What Does Joshua 12:3 Mean?
The boundaries of Sihon's former kingdom continue, sweeping from the Jordan valley to the Sea of Chinneroth (later called Galilee) in the north and down to the salt sea -- the Dead Sea -- in the south, ending beneath the slopes of Pisgah, the heights from which Moses would later view the land.
Such thorough record-keeping shows how completely the promise was fulfilled, mile by mile. Nothing was left vague or half-given. The God who measures out an inheritance to the last landmark is the God who withholds no good thing from those who walk before Him, and who finishes what He begins.
