A fortified town in the territory of Gad, east of the Jordan River. Mentioned as one of the cities rebuilt by the Gadites after Moses assigned them the Transjordan territory (Numbers 32:36; Joshua 13:27).
Beit Nimrah represents an important moment in Israelite history: the first land grant. The tribes of Reuben and Gad had large herds and requested to stay in the Transjordan. Moses initially rebuked them sharply, comparing them to the spies who discouraged the people forty years earlier. After they pledged to fight with Israel until the land was conquered, Moses relented and assigned them the territory. Beit Nimrah's rebuilding (Numbers 32:36) records covenant faithfulness: they received the land as promised.
