Moses provides a general description of the land to be occupied by the Israelites, detailing its boundaries and notable cities as they prepare to enter the territory of the Canaanites. He outlines the region from the north, west, south, and east. Among these cities, the least familiar is said to be Lasha, identified by Jerome as Lysa, also known as Callirhoe.
