John Gill Commentary Numbers 32:36

"and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep." — Numbers 32:36 (ASV)

And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities
The first of these is the same with Nimrah, (Numbers 32:3), and the other is the same with Betharam, (Joshua 13:27), it is called in the Jerusalem Talmud ^F18, Bethramtha, and so by the Syrians, Bethramphta; and to the same place Herod gave the name of Livias or Julias ^F19: these cities the children of Gad built or repaired for their families:

and folds for sheep;
they also built for their cattle, as they promised to do, and Moses enjoined them, (Numbers 32:16Numbers 32:24Numbers 32:26).
