11 (C)“For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of (D)the [a]giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in (E)Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.

The Land East of the Jordan Divided(F)

12 “And this (G)land, which we possessed at that time, (H)from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and (I)its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 13 (J)The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the [b]giants. 14 (K)Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, (L)as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and (M)called Bashan after his own name, [c]Havoth Jair, to this day.)

10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(A) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(B) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] It is still in Rabbah(C) of the Ammonites.)

Division of the Land

12 Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer(D) by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns. 13 The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh.(E) (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.(F) 14 Jair,(G) a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites;(H) it was named(I) after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.[b]) 15 And I gave Gilead to Makir.(J) 16 But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being the border) and out to the Jabbok River,(K) which is the border of the Ammonites. 17 Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah,(L) from Kinnereth(M) to the Sea of the Arabah(N) (that is, the Dead Sea(O)), below the slopes of Pisgah.
