God's Orderly Provision

This verse, part of a detailed list of boundaries for the tribe of Gad, may seem like a dry list of names. However, commentators note that such precision reflects God's will for order and clear inheritance. Each tribe was to know its specific allotment, preventing disputes and demonstrating that God cares about the practical details of His people's lives.
