Deuteronomy 3:12-17
Expanded Bible
The Land Is Divided
12 At that time we took this land to be our own. I gave the people of Reuben and Gad the land from Aroer by the Arnon Ravine, as well as half of the mountain country of Gilead and the cities in it [Num. 32:1–42]. 13 To the people of ·East [L the half-tribe of] Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The area of Argob in Bashan was called the land of the ·Rephaites [or Rephaim; Gen. 14:5]. 14 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole area of Argob, all the way to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. So that land was named for Jair, and even today Bashan is called the Towns of Jair.) 15 I gave Gilead to Makir. 16 I gave the ·Reubenites [L sons of Reuben] and the ·Gadites [L sons of Gad] the land that begins at Gilead and goes from the Arnon ·Ravine [Wadi] (the middle of the Arnon is the border) to the Jabbok ·River [Wadi], which is the ·Ammonite border [L border of the sons of Ammon]. 17 The border on the west was the Jordan River in the ·Jordan Valley [L Arabah], and it goes from ·Lake [or the Sea of] ·Galilee [L of the Arabah] to the ·Dead [L Salt] Sea west of Mount Pisgah.

New American Standard Bible
12 “So we took possession of this land at that time. From (A)Aroer, which is by the [a]Valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of (B)Gilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob. (As to all Bashan, it is called the land of Rephaim. 14 (C)Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, that is, Bashan, and named [b]it after his own name: [c]Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 (D)To Machir I gave Gilead. 16 To the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave from Gilead even as far as the [d]Valley of Arnon, the middle of the [e]valley [f]as a border, and as far as the [g]river (E)Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan [h]as a border, from [i](F)Chinnereth (G)even as far as the sea of the Arabah, (H)the Salt Sea, [j]at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east.
