And from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
The book containing this verse is the first of the twelve historical books, which record the history of the chosen people from their first occupation of the land of Canaan as a nation to the return from the captivity. It is named for its leading character, by whom part of it was written. The verse belongs to the section in chapters 13 to 22 that gives the account of dividing and distributing the promised land among Israel's tribes.
That distribution account is based on written documents in which the property was accurately described. Within that division, the verse names boundaries and places in the territory assigned to Gad, tracing its line from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir.
