This proposal was very equitable , and it was honestly made and faithfully executed; though it did not imply that all men capable of bearing arms should go , and so leave their families and possessions defenceless , but only a sufficient detachment of them. Among the inhabitants of the land were the Ammonites , Moabites , Idumeans , and the remains of the Midianites and Amorites; and as it was impossible for the women and children to keep the defenced cities , when placed in them , many of the men of war must of course stay behind. In the last census . Numbers 26 . 1 , the tribe of Reuben consisted of 43 ,730 men; the tribe of Gad 40 ,500; and the tribe of Manasseh 52 ,700; the half of which is 26 ,350; which together amount to 110 ,580. Now from Joshua 4 . 13 , we learn , that of these tribes only 40 ,000 armed men passed over Jordan to assist their brethren . consequently 70 ,580 men were left behind for the defence of the women , the children , and the flocks . which was amply sufficient for this purpose.

be sure your sin . If the persons concerned prevaricated , and so imposed on men , or if they afterwards refused to fulfil their engagement , God would most certainly detect and expose their wickedness , and inflict condign punishment upon them. Of all the ways , says Dr. South , to be taken for the prevention of that great plague of mankind , Sin , there is none so rational and efficacious as to confute and baffle those motives by which men are induced to embrace it; and among all such motives , the heart of man seems to be chiefly overpowered and prevailed upon by two , viz. secrecy in committing sin , and impunity with respect to its consequences. Accordingly , Moses , in this chapter , having to deal with a company of men suspected of a base and fraudulent design , though couched under a very fair pretence , as most such designs are , endeavours to quash it in its very conception , by secretly applying himself to encounter those secret motives and arguments , which he knew were the most likely to encourage them in it. And this he does very briefly , but effectually , by assuring them , that how covertly and artificially soever they might carry on their dark project , yet their sin would infallibly find them out. Though the subject and occasion of these words are indeed particular , yet the design of them is manifestly of an universal import , as reaching the case of all transgressors , in their first entrance on any sinful act or course.

Dibon . Eusebius says that Dibon was a large town , near the river Arnon. Burckhardt says , that when he was about an hour's distance north of the Modjeb or Arnon , he was shown to the ne the ruins of Diban , the ancient Dibon , situated in the low ground of the Koura , or plains of Moab.

Aroer . Aroer was situated , according to Eusebius , on a mountain on the north bank of the river Arnon. This is confirmed by Burckhardt , who says it is called Araayr , and is seated on the edge of the precipice , at the foot of which the river flows. Deuteronomy 2 . 36 , Isaiah 17 . 2
