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.”

Lexham English Bible
12 And so we took possession of this land at that time, from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi[a] of Arnon, and also half of the hill country of Gilead and its towns I gave to the Reubenites[b] and to the Gadites.[c] 13 And the remainder of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the whole region of Argo. All of that area of Bashan was called the land of the Rephaim. 14 Jair the descendant[d] of Manasseh acquired the whole region of Argob, up to the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and he called it,[e] that is Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, as it still is today.[f] 15 And also I gave Gilead to Makir. 16 And to the Reubenites[g] and to the Gadites[h] I gave, from Gilead up to the wadi[i] of Arnon, the middle of the wadi[j] as a boundary and up to the Jabbok River,[k] the boundary of the Ammonites.[l] 17 And the Jordan Valley[m] with the Jordan River as its boundary, from Kinnereth[n] up to the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea,[o] with the slopes of Pisgah toward the east.
