It is mentioned in the context of territorial boundaries and conquests. Context: Salcah, also spelled Salchah, is a city located on the eastern frontier of Bashan, which was part of the territory given to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It is mentioned in several biblical passages, including Deuteronomy 3:10, Joshua 12:5, and Joshua 13:11. In Deuteronomy 3:10, the text states, "We captured all the cities of the plain and all Gilead and all Bashan as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan."
