¹² “When we took possession of this land at that time, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory beginning ^(A)at Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with ^(B)its cities.

^36 (A)From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from ^(B)the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. ^(C)The Lord our God gave all into our hands.

³² We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”

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.

³³ from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from ^(A)Aroer, which is by the Valley of the Arnon, that is, ^(B)Gilead and Bashan.

The Inheritance East of the Jordan

⁸ With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh^[a] the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, ^(A)which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them: ^9 (B)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and ^(C)all the tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon; ^10 (D)and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites; ¹¹ and Gilead, and the ^(E)region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and ^(F)all Bashan to Salecah; ^12 (G)all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone was left of ^(H)the remnant of the Rephaim); ^(I)these Moses had struck and driven out. ^13 (J)Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

^14 (K)To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance. The offerings by fire to the Lord God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to him.

¹⁵ And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the people of Reuben according to their clans. ¹⁶ So their territory was from Aroer, ^(L)which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland by ^(M)Medeba; ¹⁷ with Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the tableland; ^(N)Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, ^18 (O)and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, ¹⁹ and ^(P)Kiriathaim, and ^(Q)Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley, ²⁰ and ^(R)Beth-peor, and ^(S)the slopes of Pisgah, and ^(T)Beth-jeshimoth, ²¹ that is, ^(U)all the cities of the tableland, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, ^(V)whom Moses defeated with ^(W)the leaders of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land. ^22 (X)Balaam also, the son of Beor, the one who practiced divination, was killed with the sword by the people of Israel among the rest of their slain. ²³ And the border of the people of Reuben was the Jordan as a boundary. This was the inheritance of the people of Reuben, according to their clans with their cities and villages.

²⁴ Moses gave an inheritance also to the tribe of Gad, to the people of Gad, according to their clans. ^25 (Y)Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of ^(Z)Rabbah, ²⁶ and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from ^(AA)Mahanaim to the territory of Debir,^{[b] 27} and in the valley Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, ^(AB)Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, having the Jordan as a boundary, to the lower end of the Sea of ^(AC)Chinnereth, eastward beyond the Jordan. ²⁸ This is the inheritance of the people of Gad according to their clans, with their cities and villages.

^2 (A)Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and ^(B)from the middle of the valley as far as the ^(C)river Jabbok, the boundary of the Ammonites, that is, half of Gilead, ³ and ^(D)the Arabah ^(E)to the Sea of Chinneroth eastward, and in the direction of Beth-jeshimoth, to the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, southward to the foot of ^(F)the slopes of Pisgah; ⁴ and ^(G)Og^[a] king of Bashan, one of the remnant of ^(H)the Rephaim, ^(I)who lived at Ashtaroth and at Edrei ⁵ and ruled over ^(J)Mount Hermon and ^(K)Salecah and all Bashan ^(L)to the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and over half of Gilead to the boundary of Sihon king of Heshbon. ^6 (M)Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the people of Israel defeated them. And Moses the servant of the Lord ^(N)gave their land for a possession to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

^48 (A)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, as far as Mount ^(B)Sirion^[a] (that is, ^(C)Hermon),
