Nimrah

Nimrah appears in Numbers 32:3 in the Reubenite-Gadite petition for the Transjordan pasturelands: "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, Even the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle." The town is most often referenced under its expanded form Beth-nimrah (Numbers 32:36; Joshua 13:27) as one of the Gadite fortified cities in the Jordan Valley above the Dead Sea. Identified with Tell Nimrin about eight miles northeast of Jericho in the lush Wadi Nimrin which preserves the ancient name.
