(All that portion of Bashan is called the land of (E)Rephaim. 14 (F)Jair the Manassite took all the region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of (G)the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called the villages (H)after his own name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 To Machir (I)I gave Gilead, 16 and to the Reubenites (J)and the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river Jabbok, (K)the border of the Ammonites; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan as the border, from (L)Chinnereth as far as (M)the Sea of the Arabah, (N)the Salt Sea, under (O)the slopes of Pisgah on the east.
