Deuteronomy 4:43b …and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
This is the first mention of the Golan Heights in the Bible. The term “Golan” is mentioned four times in the Old Testament. Concordances are not sure about the meaning of the word. A possible consideration is from the Hebrew meaning “to roll” or “to encircle,” possibly referring to the rounded hills or the way the area is surrounded by mountains.
Golan is also synonymous with the location of Bashan, home of the giant Og.
Numbers 21:33 Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its leaders will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’
In a video statement alongside Energy Minister Eli Cohen, Netanyahu said that the natural gas deal with Cairo was worth NIS 112 billion ($34.7 billion), of which NIS 58 billion ($18 billion) would go into public coffers. In the first four years, he said, around NIS 500 million ($155 million) would go to the state yearly, and this was expected to climb to NIS 6 billion per year ($1.9 billion) by 2033.
“The agreement is with the American company Chevron, with Israeli partners who will supply gas to Egypt,” Netanyahu said.

Ezekiel 7:19 They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.
Gold and silver are at ALL TIME highs!!!
There are multiple examples in the Bible, riches will not save you. One cannot purchase their way into Heaven or Eternity with God with earthly riches or precious metals. Only one currency counts, the innocent shed blood of Christ.
Friendly reminder from the Bible, one cannot eat silver or gold. At some point, food will be more valuable than silver and gold.
Ultimately, people will choose precious metals over Jesus Christ and His solution for sin.
Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.
