33 And (A)Moses gave to them, to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land and its cities with their territories, the cities of the land throughout the country. 34 And the people of Gad built (B)Dibon, (C)Ataroth, (D)Aroer, 35 Atroth-shophan, (E)Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 (F)Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran, (G)fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 37 And the people of Reuben built (H)Heshbon, (I)Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 38 (J)Nebo, and (K)Baal-meon ((L)their names were changed), and (M)Sibmah. And they gave other names to the cities that they built. 39 And the sons of (N)Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it. 40 And Moses (O)gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he settled in it. 41 And (P)Jair the son of Manasseh went and captured their villages, and called them Havvoth-jair.[a] 42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

30 But if they do not cross over(A) with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.(B)

31 The Gadites and Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the Lord has said.(C) 32 We will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed,(D) but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.(E)

33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites,(F) the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh(G) son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites(H) and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan(I)—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.(J)

34 The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,(K) 35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer,(L) Jogbehah,(M) 36 Beth Nimrah(N) and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks.(O) 37 And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon,(P) Elealeh(Q) and Kiriathaim,(R) 38 as well as Nebo(S) and Baal Meon (these names were changed) and Sibmah.(T) They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.

39 The descendants of Makir(U) son of Manasseh went to Gilead,(V) captured it and drove out the Amorites(W) who were there. 40 So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites,(X) the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there. 41 Jair,(Y) a descendant of Manasseh, captured their settlements and called them Havvoth Jair.[a](Z) 42 And Nobah captured Kenath(AA) and its surrounding settlements and called it Nobah(AB) after himself.(AC)
