Division of the Land

12 Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer(A) by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns. 13 The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh.(B) (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.(C) 14 Jair,(D) a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites;(E) it was named(F) after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.[a]) 15 And I gave Gilead to Makir.(G) 16 But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being the border) and out to the Jabbok River,(H) which is the border of the Ammonites. 17 Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah,(I) from Kinnereth(J) to the Sea of the Arabah(K) (that is, the Dead Sea(L)), below the slopes of Pisgah.

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.
