In Numbers 32:35, Jogbehah is listed among the fortified cities built by the Gadites: "Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah." The context suggests that Jogbehah was strategically important, serving as a fortified settlement for the tribe of Gad. The city's name, meaning "lofty" or "exalted," may reflect its geographical position or its significance in the region. The exact location of Jogbehah is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River.
