The Prophet derives the Balm from the Mount Gilead; demanding, if Gilead be without Balm. 1It seems, that Gilead was an aromaticall place, and is reckoned by some among the Mountains of spice. It is ⟨p. 308⟩called in some places of Scripture Galaad; and by an easy varying of the points in the Hebrew writing, Gilead. 2This Mountain was at first so called by Jacob, by reason of that solemn Covenant, which he there made with his Father in law, pursuing Laban. Though it be called Mount Gilead, before in the chapter. ver. 21.23.25. He set his face toward Mount Gilead, &c. Yet it is by anticipation; spoken rather as the hill was called when the History was written by Moses, then as it was saluted and ascended by Jacob: who abode in it, till Laban over-took him; where the pacified Father and the departing Son made their Covenant. dLaban called it I•gar-Sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. It signifies a heap of witness, a name imposed by occasion of the heap of stones, pitched for the league between them. eLaban said, this heap• is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed. There was one Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh; of whom, because it is said, that 5Machir begat Gilead: and of Gilead ••me the family of th• Gileadites; some ascribe the attribution of this name to Mount Gilead. 6But this Mount had the name, long before the son of Machir was borne. We read of it, that it was. 1. a great mountain. 2. fruitful. 3. full of Cities. 4. abounding with Spices.
