16 וְלָרֻאוּבֵנִי וְלַגָּדִי נָתַתִּי מִן־הַגִּלְעָד וְעַד־נַחַל אַרְןֹן תֹּוךְ הַנַּחַל וּגְבֻל וְעַד יַבֹּק הַנַּחַל גְּבוּל בְּנֵי עַמֹּון׃


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 16. And the natural mind from the pleasure in doing good, into which man is first initiated when he becomes regenerate (Gilead), to the first perceptions of spiritual truth conjoined thereto in external things, comes under the dominion of true faith in the Lord and works thence derived, even to the first insinuation of spiritual truth into good (Jabbok), which is the boundary between external and internal religion.
