ATAROTH:

By: Morris Jastrow, Jr., Gerson B. Levi

District in Palestine, east of the Jordan. This place is mentioned along with Dibon and Jazer as a very fertile tract of land and good for raising cattle. Reuben and Gad both asked for the land. Gad received it (Num. xxxii. 3) and built a city there (ib. 34).
