Joshua 12:7

  • Baal-gad was at the western base of Mount Hermon. It marked the northern limit of Joshua's conquests west of the Jordan River.

  • The Valley of Lebanon separated the coastal Lebanon mountain range from the non-coastal (inland) Anti-Lebanon range.

  • Mount Halak, which leads toward Seir (also known as Edom), marked the southern limit of Joshua's conquests.
