33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites,(A) the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh(B) son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites(C) and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan(D)—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.(E)

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

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