¹² So this is the land we possessed at that time. I gave some of it, from Aroer, which is beside the Arnon River, up through half of the Gilead highlands, along with its cities, to the Reubenites and the Gadites. ¹³ The rest of the Gilead region and all of Bashan, Og’s kingdom, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh.

(Now the whole Argob area, including all of Bashan, was often called Rephaim Country. ¹⁴ Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, took possession of the entire Argob region, as far as the border with the Geshurites and the Maacathites. He named the Bashan area after himself, Jair’s Settlement. That’s what it’s still called today.)

¹⁵ I also gave Gilead to Machir. ¹⁶ To the Reubenites and the Gadites, I gave land from the Gilead, as far as the Arnon River—the middle of the river being the boundary line—to the Jabbok River, which is the boundary line with the Ammonites. ¹⁷ Also the desert plain, with the Jordan River as the boundary, from the Galilee Sea^[a] down to the desert sea (the Dead Sea^[b]) below the slopes of Mount Pisgah on the east.
