Mapping out newly conquered territory provides a clear picture of the Israelites' early victories. The geographical borders of the land captured on the eastern side of the Jordan River are now fully established, using specific physical landmarks to define the edges of the region.
There is a unified understanding among commentators regarding the identification of these ancient boundaries. The sea located in this area is universally recognized as the Dead Sea. From that body of water, the border of the conquered territory extends outward, reaching its final limit at the downward slopes of Mount Pisgah.
