Beyond when used with reference to Jordan, signifies in the writings of Moses the west side of the river, as he wrote on the east bank (Genesis 50:10, Genesis 1:50; Deuteronomy 1:1, Deuteronomy 1:1; Deuteronomy 1:3, Deuteronomy 1:3; Deuteronomy 1:4); but in the writings of Joshua, after he had crossed the river, it means the east side (Joshua 5:1; Joshua 1:12; Joshua 1:22).
