Wandering, a city of Bashan assigned to the half tribe of Manasseh (Deut. 3:10; Josh. 12:5; 13:11), identified with Salkhad, about 56 miles east of Jordan.
Salcah
Salcah is an edge of the map, a town at the far border of Bashan. Moses, Joshua and the chronicler all mention it when they describe the land that belonged to Og, king of Bashan, and later to the tribes east of the Jordan: “all Bashan unto Salcah.” The King James text sometimes spells it Salchah. In Joshua 12 it is named with mount Hermon, and in 1 Chronicles 5 the children of Gad dwell over against it. There are no stories set in the town itself. Deuteronomy 3:10 and Joshua 13:11 mark where it sits.

(migration), a city named in the early records of Israel as the extreme limit of Bashan, (3:10; Joshua 13:11) and of the tribe of Gad. (1 Chronicles 5:71) On another occasion the name seems to denote a district rather than a town. (Joshua 12:5) It is identical with the town of Sulkhad (56 miles east of the Jordan, at the southern extremity of the Hauran range of mountains. The place is nearly deserted, though it contains 800 stone houses, many of them in a good state of preservation.-ED.)
