Deuteronomy 3:12-17

International Standard Version

Moses Allots Land East of the Jordan^(A)

¹² “Of the land that we captured at that time, I’ve given its towns to the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad from Aroer near the Wadi^[a] Arnon to half of the hill country of Gilead. ¹³ The remainder of Gilead and Bashan of the kingdom of Og, I’ve given to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob—that is, all of Bashan—is called the land of the Rephaim.) ¹⁴ Manasseh’s son Jair captured all the Argob region as far as the territory of the descendants of Geshur and the descendants of Maacath. Bashan was named after him; that’s why it is called Havvoth-jair to this day. ¹⁵ Furthermore, I’ve given Gilead to Machir. ¹⁶ And I’ve given Gilead to the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad as far as the Arnon Valley, designating the middle of the valley as its boundary, including up to the Jabbok River as a boundary with the Ammonites. ¹⁷ The Arabah and the Jordan River are also a boundary from Chinnereth^[b] to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Salt Sea),^[c] below the slopes of Pisgah on the east.”
