It is named along with Beth-baal-meon and [[Kedemoth]] ( Joshua 13:18 ), with Kedemoth ( Joshua 21:37 ) pointing to a position in the Southeast of the [[Amorite]] territory. It was given to [[Reuben]] by Moses, and was one of the cities in the portion of that tribe assigned to the [[Merarite]] Levites. [[Mesha]] (MS, ll. 18 if) says that the king of Israel dwelt in [[Jahaz]] when at war with him. Mesha drove him out, and the city passed into the hands of Moab. It is referred to as a city of Moab in Isaiah 15:4; Jeremiah 48:21 , Jeremiah 48:34 . Cheyne thinks that either Jahaz or Kedemoth must be represented today by the important ruins of <i> '''''Umm er''''' </i> - <i> '''''Reṣāṣ''''' </i> , about 2 1/2 hours North of [[Dibon]] toward the desert ( <i> EB </i> , under the word). No certain identification is possible. </p> | <p> JAHAZAH or JAHZAH, a city in the north of Moab, near which [[Moses]] defeated Sihon, Numbers 21:23 . It was in the limits of Reuben, and was a [[Levitical]] city, Joshua 21:36 . In Isaiah 15:4 , and Jeremiah 48:21 , it appears as again in the hands of the Moabites. </p> | ||

<p> JAHAZA (Joshua 13:18), JAHAZAH (Joshua 21:36), JAHZAH (Numbers 21:23; Deuteronomy 2:32; Judges 11:20; Isaiah 15:4; Jeremiah 48:21; Jeremiah 48:34). Here the battle was fought wherein [[Israel]] overcame Sibon and so won his whole territory between the [[Arnon]] and the Jabbok. [[Jahaza]] was assigned to Reuben, then to the [[Merarite]] [[Levites]] (1 Chronicles 6:78; Joshua 21:36). It was in the plain country, now the Belka, in the extreme S. of Sihon's land but N. of the Arnon. [[Doubtless]] the battle was fought along the slope of the hill still called Shihan. There is on it a network of cyclopean walls, whence the slings and arrows of Israel dislodged the [[Amorites]] according to Josephus. [[Thence]] the enemy fled two miles to the edge of the Arnon gorge. </p> | |||

<p> <strong> JAHAZ </strong> (in 1 Chronicles 6:78 , Jeremiah 48:21 <strong> [[Jahzah]] </strong> ). A town at which [[Sihon]] was defeated by [[Israel]] ( Numbers 21:23 , Deuteronomy 2:32 , Judges 11:20 ). After the crossing of the Arnon, messengers were sent to Sihon from the ‘wilderness of Kedemoth’ ( Deuteronomy 2:26 ), and he ‘went out against Israel into the wilderness and came to Jahaz’ ( Numbers 21:23 ). [[Jahaz]] is mentioned in connexion with [[Kedemoth]] ( Joshua 13:18; Joshua 21:36 ). These passages indicate a position for Jahaz in the S. E. portion of Sihon’s territory. Jahaz was one of the [[Levite]] cities of [[Reuben]] belonging to the children of [[Merari]] ( Joshua 13:18; Joshua 21:36 (see note in RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ], 1 Chronicles 6:78 ). According to the [[Moabite]] [[Stone]] (11:18 20), the king of Israel dwelt at Jahaz while at war with king Mesha, but was driven out, and the town was taken and added to Moabite territory. Isaiah ( Isaiah 15:4 ) and Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 48:21; Jeremiah 48:34 ) refer to it as in the possession of Moab. The site has not yet been identified. </p> | |||

<p> [[Jahaz]] (jâ'hâz), place trodden down. A Moabitish city situated near the desert; afterward reckoned to the tribe of [[Reuben]] and assigned to the priests. Numbers 21:23; Deuteronomy 2:32; Isaiah 15:4; Jeremiah 48:34. It is also called Jahaza, Joshua 13:18, A. V. Jahazah, Joshua 21:36; Jeremiah 48:21, A. V., and Jahzah. 1 Chronicles 6:78 A. V., and Jeremiah 48:21 R. V. At this place the [[Israelites]] gained a victory over [[Sihon]] and conquered the territory between the [[Arnon]] and the Jabbok; but in later times Jahaz seems to have been occupied by the Moabites. </p> | |||

<p> Ja'haz. (trodden down). Under these four forms (Jahaz, Jahaza, [[Jahazah]] and Juhzah) is given, in the Authorized Version, the name of a place which in the [[Hebrew]] appears as Yahats and Yahtsah. </p> <p> At Jahaz, the decisive battle was fought between the children of [[Israel]] and Sihon, king of the Amorites. Numbers 21:23; Deuteronomy 2:32; Judges 11:20. It was in the allotment of Reuben. Joshua 13:18. Like many others relating to the places east of the [[Dead]] Sea, the question of its site must await further research. </p> | |||

Ι᾿ασσά; also with ה local and in pause, י הְצָה, Yach'tsah, Numbers 21:23, Sept. εἰς Ι᾿ασσά; Deuteronomy 2:32, Sept. εἰς Ι᾿ασά; and this even with a prefix, בְּי הְצָה, Judges 11:20, Sept. εἰς Ι᾿ασσά; but likewise with ה paragogic, יִהְצָה, Yah'tsach, Sept. Ι᾿ασσά, Joshua 13:18; A. Vers. "Jahaza;" Ι᾿ασά, Jeremiah 48:21, "Jahazah;" Ι᾿ασσά , Joshua 21:36, "Jahazah;" ῾Ρεφάς v.r. Ι᾿ασσά, 2 Chronicles 6:78, "Jahzah"), a town beyond the Jordan, where [[Sihon]] was defeated, in the borders of [[Moab]] and the region of the [[Ammonites]] (Numbers 21:23; Deuteronomy 2:32; Judges 11:20); situated in the tribe of [[Reuben]] (Joshua 13:18), and assigned to the [[Merarite]] [[Levites]] (Joshua 21:36; 1 Chronicles 6:78). In Isaiah 15:4; Jeremiah 48:21, it appears as one of the Moabitish places that suffered from the transit of the [[Babylonian]] conquerors through the "plain country' (i.e. the Mishor. the mod. Belka). The whole country east of the [[Dead]] [[Sea]] had originally been given to the [[Moabites]] and Ammonites (Genesis 19:36-38; Deuteronomy 2:19-22); but the warlike [[Amorites]] from the west of the [[Jordan]] conquered them, and expelled them from the region north of the river Amon. From the Amorites the [[Israelites]] took this country, but subsequently the Ammonites claimed it as theirs (Judges 11:13), and on the decline of [[Jewish]] power the Moabites and Ammonites again took possession of it. Hitzig (Zu Jesa. ad loc.) regards [[Jahaz]] and [[Jahzah]] as different places (so Keil on Joshua ad loc., urging that they are distinguished in the passages of Jeremiah); but this is unnecessary (so Winer, Real. s.v. Jahaz), and at variance with the philology. It appears to have been situated on the- edge of the desert (see Raumer, [[Zug]] dc. Isr. — p. 53; Hengstenberg, Bileame, p. 239). See Exodus. ‘ From the terms of the narrative in Numbers 21 and Deuteronomy 2 we should expect that Jahaz was in the extreme south part of the territory of Sihon, but yet north of the [[River]] [[Arnon]] (see Deuteronomy 2:24; Deuteronomy 2:36; and the words in Deuteronomy 2:31, "begin to possess"), and in ‘ exactly this position a site named Jazaze is mentioned by Schwarz (Palest. p. 227, "a village to the south-west of Dhiban"); but this lacks confirmation, especially as [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] (Ozomnasf s. Ι᾿εσσά, Jassa) place it between [[Medeba]] (Μηδαμών ) and [[Dibon]] (Διβούς,'Deblathaim); and the latter states that "Jahaz lies opposite the Dead Sea, at the boundary of the region of Moab." These requirements are met by supposing Jahaz to have been situated in the open tract at the head of wady Waleh, between Arnun on the east, and Jebel Humeh on the west. </p> | |||
