AI summary: Salecah matters primarily as an edge marker of possession. Deuteronomy and Joshua use it to define the extent of Bashan under Israelite control, showing how far the conquest from Og's kingdom reached. Chronicles preserves that eastern horizon in the tribal memory of Manasseh. The cross references present Salecah as a frontier city at the far edge of the transjordanian inheritance.1
