⁴ Now that the Lord your God has given them rest^(A) as he promised, return to your homes^(B) in the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.^(C)

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

⁸ The other half of Manasseh,^[a] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned^(A) it to them.^(B)

¹⁸ We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance.^(A)

²⁰ until the Lord gives rest to your fellow Israelites as he has to you, and they too have taken over the land that the Lord your God is giving them across the Jordan. After that, each of you may go back to the possession I have given you.”

⁴³ So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors,^(A) and they took possession^(B) of it and settled there.^{(C) 44} The Lord gave them rest^(D) on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Not one of their enemies^(E) withstood them; the Lord gave all their enemies^(F) into their hands.^(G)

¹⁵ This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:

²⁴ This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

²⁹ This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:

³² This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab^(AK) across the Jordan east of Jericho.^{(AL) 33} But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;^(AM) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,^(AN) as he promised them.^(AO)

Division of the Land West of the Jordan

14 Now these are the areas the Israelites received as an inheritance^(AP) in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar^(AQ) the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel^(AR) allotted^(AS) to them.^{(AT) 2} Their inheritances were assigned by lot^(AU) to the nine and a half tribes,^(AV) as the Lord had commanded through Moses. ³ Moses had granted the two and a half tribes their inheritance east of the Jordan^(AW) but had not granted the Levites an inheritance among the rest,^{(AX) 4} for Joseph’s descendants had become two tribes—Manasseh and Ephraim.^(AY) The Levites received no share of the land but only towns to live in, with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.^{(AZ) 5} So the Israelites divided the land, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.^(BA)

⁸ We took their land and gave it as an inheritance^(A) to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh.^(B)

⁹ since you have not yet reached the resting place^(A) and the inheritance^(B) the Lord your God is giving you.

Defeat of Og King of Bashan

3 Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan^(A) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.^{(B) 2} The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid^(C) of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”

³ So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,^(D) leaving no survivors.^{(E) 4} At that time we took all his cities.^(F) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom^(G) in Bashan.^{(H) 5} All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. ⁶ We completely destroyed^[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying^[b](I) every city—men, women and children. ⁷ But all the livestock^(J) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.

⁸ So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites^(K) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.^{(L) 9} (Hermon is called Sirion^(M) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)^{(N) 10} We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah^(O) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. ¹¹ (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.^(P) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.^[c] It is still in Rabbah^(Q) of the Ammonites.)

Division of the Land

¹² Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer^(R) by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns. ¹³ The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh.^(S) (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.^{(T) 14} Jair,^(U) a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites;^(V) it was named^(W) after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.^[d]) ¹⁵ And I gave Gilead to Makir.^{(X) 16} But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being the border) and out to the Jabbok River,^(Y) which is the border of the Ammonites. ¹⁷ Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah,^(Z) from Kinnereth^(AA) to the Sea of the Arabah^(AB) (that is, the Dead Sea^(AC)), below the slopes of Pisgah.
