Barnes' Notes
All the plain on the east - i. e. the Arabah or depressed tract along the east bank of Jordan, the modern El-Ghor (see Numbers 22:1).
Joshua 12:2
From the middle of the river - i. e. as appears from Joshua 13:9, Joshua 13:16, "from the city that is in the midst of the river;" namely,, Ar Moab (see Deuteronomy 2:36).
Joshua 12:3
From the plain - Render "over the plain;" for the words describe not one of the boundaries of Sihon' s kingdom, but part of the territory included in it, i. e. the eastern portion of the Ghor, between the Sea of Tiberias and the Dead Sea.
