²⁰ but Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people together and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel.

²² “And you gave them kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner. ^(A)So they took possession of the land of Sihon king of Heshbon ^(B)and the land of Og king of Bashan.

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.

³² Then ^(A)Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. ³³ And ^(B)the Lord our God gave him over to us, and ^(C)we defeated him and his sons and all his people. ³⁴ And we captured all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction^[a] every ^(D)city, men, women, and children. We left no survivors.

^23 (A)But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his people together and went out against Israel to the wilderness and ^(B)came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. ^24 (C)And Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the ^(D)Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong. ²⁵ And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
