The Story in a Name

Commentators note the specific name 'Dibon-gad.' This isn't just a location; it's a historical note. The addition of '-gad' likely refers to the fact that the tribe of Gad later rebuilt or fortified this city, as mentioned in Numbers 32:34. This small detail connects the travel log to the later settlement of the tribes in the promised land.
