The district east of Jordan and north of Gilead, assigned to Manasseh (Num. 21: 33; Num. 32: 33; Deut. 1: 4; Deut. 3: 1-14; 1 Kgs. 4: 13). It was an area rich in grain production and known for its breed of cattle (Ps. 22: 12), to which Amos made a symbolic and uncomplimentary reference (Amos 4: 1-3).
