Deuteronomy 3:12-17
English Standard Version
12 “When we took possession of this land at that time, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory beginning (A)at Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with (B)its cities. 13 (C)The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, that is, (D)all the region of Argob, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All that portion of Bashan is called the land of (E)Rephaim. 14 (F)Jair the Manassite took all the region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of (G)the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called the villages (H)after his own name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 To Machir (I)I gave Gilead, 16 and to the Reubenites (J)and the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river Jabbok, (K)the border of the Ammonites; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan as the border, from (L)Chinnereth as far as (M)the Sea of the Arabah, (N)the Salt Sea, under (O)the slopes of Pisgah on the east.

New Living Translation
Land Division East of the Jordan
12 “When we took possession of this land, I gave to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the territory beyond Aroer along the Arnon Gorge, plus half of the hill country of Gilead with its towns. 13 Then I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan—Og’s former kingdom—to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This entire Argob region of Bashan used to be known as the land of the Rephaites. 14 Jair, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered the whole Argob region in Bashan, all the way to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. Jair renamed this region after himself, calling it the Towns of Jair,[a] as it is still known today.) 15 I gave Gilead to the clan of Makir. 16 But I also gave part of Gilead to the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The area I gave them extended from the middle of the Arnon Gorge in the south to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite frontier. 17 They also received the Jordan Valley, all the way from the Sea of Galilee down to the Dead Sea,[b] with the Jordan River serving as the western boundary. To the east were the slopes of Pisgah.
