Gill's Exposition
The plain also, and Jordan,.... The plain by Jordan, the plains of Moab on the side of it, together with the river: and the coast thereof; the country adjoining to
it: from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea; that is, from Gennesaret, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, called the land of Gennesaret, Mat 14:34 , from thence to the sea of Sodom, the sea of the plain, where the cities of the plain stood, Sodom, Gomorrah, &c. and the salt sea, so called from the salt and nitrous waters of it, the lake Asphaltites: under Ashdothpisgah eastward; mentioned among the cities given to the tribe of Reuben, Jos 13:20 rendered "the springs of Pisgah", Deu 4:49 , the word having the signification of effusions, pourings out; so the Targums.
