15 ¶ Moses then gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance, according to their families.

16 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the brink of the river Arnon, and from the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain which is by Medeba:

17 Heshbon with all the cities thereof, that are in the plain: Dibon and [a]Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon:

18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath:

19 Kirjathaim also, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar in the mount of [b]Emek:

20 And Beth Peor, and (A)Ashdoth Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth:

21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses (B)smote with the Princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.

22 And [c]Balaam the son of Beor the soothsayer did the children of Israel slay with the sword, among them that were slain.

23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan with the coasts. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, with the cities and their villages.
