or JASER, in Ancient Geography, a Levitical city in the territory of the Amorites beyond Jordan, 10 miles to the west, or rather south-west, of Philadelphia, and 15 miles from Esdron, and therefore situated between Philadelphia and Heshbon, on the east border of the tribe of Gad, supposed to be the Jazerem of Josephus. In Jeremiah xlvi. mention is made of the sea of Jazer, that is, a lake; taken either for an effusion or overflowing of the Arnon, a lake through which it passes, or from which it takes its rise.
