Deuteronomy 3:12-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 As for the land that we took possession of at that time, I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites the territory north of Aroer[a] that is on the edge of the Wadi Arnon, as well as half the hill country of Gilead with its towns,(A) 13 and I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, Og’s kingdom. (The whole region of Argob: all that portion of Bashan used to be called a land of Rephaim; 14 Jair the Manassite acquired the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and he named them—that is, Bashan—after himself, Havvoth-jair,[b] as it is to this day.)(B) 15 To Machir I gave Gilead.(C) 16 And to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Wadi Arnon, with the middle of the wadi as a boundary, and up to the Jabbok, the wadi being boundary of the Ammonites; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan and its banks, from Chinnereth down to the sea of the Arabah, the Dead Sea,[c] with the lower slopes of Pisgah on the east.(D)

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.
