Aroer (ruins). 1. A city on the torrent Arnon, the southern point of the territory of Sihon king of the Amorites and afterwards of the tribe of Reuben, De 2:36; 3:12; 4:48; Jos 12:2; 13:9,16; Jud 11:26; 2Ki 10:33; 1Ch 5:8 but later again in possession of Moab. Jer 48:19 It is the modern Ara'ir, upon the very edge of the precipitous north bank of the Wady Mojeb. 2. Aroer, "that is 'facing' Rahbah" (Rabbah of Ammon), a town built by and belonging to Gad. Nu 32:34; Jos 13:25; 2Sa 24:5 This is probably the place mentioned in Jud 11:33 which was shown in Jerome's time. 3. Aroer, in Isa 17:2 if a place at all, must be still farther north than either of the two already named. 4. A town in Judah, named only in 1Sa 30:28 perhaps Wady Ar'arah, on the road from Petra to Gaza. |
