(37) On the other side.--Better, from the other side; that is, from Peraea.

But, admitting the possibility of corruption in the ciphers here and elsewhere, the want of other documents, with which the text might be compared, renders further criticism superfluous.

Verse 37. - The east of Jordan group muster a high number, and of well-equipped men.
