Jahaza - A city near Medeba and Dibon. It was given to the Levites, 1-Chronicles 6:78.
Kedemoth - Mentioned Deuteronomy 2:26; supposed to have been situated beyond the river Arnon.
Mephaath - Situated on the frontiers of Moab, on the eastern part of the desert. It was given to the Levites, Joshua 21:37.
And Jahazah,.... Called Jahaz, Numbers 21:23, where the battle was fought between Sihon and Israel:
and Kedemoth; near to which was a wilderness, which took its name from it, from whence Moses sent messengers with words of peace to Sihon, Deuteronomy 2:26,
and Mephaath; thought to be the Maipha of Ptolemy (f); here Jerom says (g), in his time was a garrison of Roman soldiers, because of the desert that was near. It was a city, with its suburbs, given to the Levites, as were the two preceding, Joshua 21:36; Adrichomius (h) takes it to be the same with Malle, which, Josephus says, (i) was called the city of the strangers.
