Quick answer

Gad also builds Atroth-shophan, Jazer, and Jogbehah. The list continues their work of constructing fortified towns.

Overview

More cities are named among Gad's holdings, including Jazer, a place noted elsewhere for its good pastureland. The detailed record affirms the historical reality of the settlement. Such lists, though spare, testify that God's promises are fulfilled in particular places and times, grounding faith in actual history rather than abstraction.

Christ at the center

In the wilderness Christ is the water from the rock, the bronze serpent lifted up that the dying might look and live (John 3:14), and the star and scepter that Balaam saw rising out of Jacob.
