THE CITIES OF THE GERSHONITES.

(Camp. Joshua 21:27-33.) 1Chronicles 6:71-76.

(71) Unto the sons of Gershom.--Supply they gave, from 1Chronicles 6:67.

Golan in Bashan (comp. the classical Gaulanitis, a district east of the sea of Galilee) was a city of refuge, like Hebron and Shechem.

Ashtaroth.--Images of Ashtoreth (Astarte, queen of heaven); a name like Anathoth (1Chronicles 6:60), which means "images of Anath," or Anatum, the consort of Anurn (the sky). The two cities must have been ancient seats of the worship of Ashtoreth and Anath. The names still survive in Tell-Ashtereh and Anata. Joshua (50100) reads Be'eshterah--perhaps a popular pronunciation of Beth-Ashterah (house of Ashtoreth). . . .

Verse 71. - Golan was one of the three cities of refuge east of the Jordan (Joshua 20:8), the other two being Bezer, of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead, of the tribe of Gad. Ashtaroth, in its previous history, had been closely connected with Og King of Bashan (Deuteronomy 1:4; Joshua 9:9, 10; Joshua 12:4, 5; Joshua 13:12). It is called Beeshterah in Joshua 21:27.
