What Does Numbers 34:10 Mean?
From the northeast corner at Hazarenan, the eastern boundary runs southward toward Shepham. This eastern edge must accommodate the territories already granted to Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh, which occupy the Transjordanian lands east of the Jordan.
The eastern boundary's precise definition ensures no confusion about where the tribes receiving land west of the Jordan end and the Transjordanian tribes' territories begin. Shepham serves as an important reference point on this critical border.
