They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” So (B)in accordance with the [a]command of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers.

And the (C)land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
