15 And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the people of Reuben according to their clans. 16 So their territory was from Aroer, (A)which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland by (B)Medeba; 17 with Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the tableland; (C)Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, 18 (D)and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19 and (E)Kiriathaim, and (F)Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley, 20 and (G)Beth-peor, and (H)the slopes of Pisgah, and (I)Beth-jeshimoth, 21 that is, (J)all the cities of the tableland, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, (K)whom Moses defeated with (L)the leaders of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land. 22 (M)Balaam also, the son of Beor, the one who practiced divination, was killed with the sword by the people of Israel among the rest of their slain. 23 And the border of the people of Reuben was the Jordan as a boundary. This was the inheritance of the people of Reuben, according to their clans with their cities and villages.

24 Moses gave an inheritance also to the tribe of Gad, to the people of Gad, according to their clans. 25 (N)Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of (O)Rabbah, 26 and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from (P)Mahanaim to the territory of Debir,[a] 27 and in the valley Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, (Q)Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, having the Jordan as a boundary, to the lower end of the Sea of (R)Chinnereth, eastward beyond the Jordan. 28 This is the inheritance of the people of Gad according to their clans, with their cities and villages.

29 And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was allotted to the half-tribe of the people of Manasseh according to their clans. 30 Their region extended from (S)Mahanaim, through all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all (T)the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities, 31 and half Gilead, and (U)Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. These were allotted to the people of (V)Machir the son of Manasseh for the half of the people of Machir according to their clans.

32 These are the inheritances that Moses distributed (W)in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho. 33 (X)But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel is their inheritance, (Y)just as he said to them.
