1IT is uncertain whether by Aroer here, he means that City whereof mention is made elsewhere. It should rather be the name of a Region or Country; howsoever he describes the form of a Country laid waste: for he saith, that the places where Cities were built, should now be common pastures; so as nothing should remain but the lodges & tents of shepherds: for if any inhabitants were left there, they should drive their flocks to another place.
