Deuteronomy 3:12-17

Expanded Bible

The Land Is Divided

¹² At that time we took this land to be our own. I gave the people of Reuben and Gad the land from Aroer by the Arnon Ravine, as well as half of the mountain country of Gilead and the cities in it [Num. 32:1–42]. ¹³ To the people of ·East [^Lthe half-tribe of] Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The area of Argob in Bashan was called the land of the ·Rephaites [or Rephaim; Gen. 14:5]. ¹⁴ Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole area of Argob, all the way to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. So that land was named for Jair, and even today Bashan is called the Towns of Jair.) ¹⁵ I gave Gilead to Makir. ¹⁶ I gave the ·Reubenites [^Lsons of Reuben] and the ·Gadites [^Lsons of Gad] the land that begins at Gilead and goes from the Arnon ·Ravine [Wadi] (the middle of the Arnon is the border) to the Jabbok ·River [Wadi], which is the ·Ammonite border [^Lborder of the sons of Ammon]. ¹⁷ The border on the west was the Jordan River in the ·Jordan Valley [^LArabah], and it goes from ·Lake [or the Sea of] ·Galilee [^Lof the Arabah] to the ·Dead [^LSalt] Sea west of Mount Pisgah.
