“ 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.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.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, as it is still known today.)I gave Gilead to the clan of Makir.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.

Include all this territory as Israel’s possession when you divide this land among the nine tribes and the half tribe of Manasseh.”Half the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already received their grants of land on the east side of the Jordan, for Moses, the servant of the Lord, had previously assigned this land to them.Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge( including the town in the middle of the gorge) to the plain beyond Medeba, as far as Dibon.It also included all the towns of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, and extended as far as the borders of Ammon.It included Gilead, the territory of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah, all of Mount Hermon, all of Bashan as far as Salecah,and all the territory of King Og of Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. King Og was the last of the Rephaites, for Moses had attacked them and driven them out.But the Israelites failed to drive out the people of Geshur and Maacah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.Moses did not assign any allotment of land to the tribe of Levi. Instead, as the Lord had promised them, their allotment came from the offerings burned on the altar to the Lord, the God of Israel.Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the tribe of Reuben.Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge( including the town in the middle of the gorge) to the plain beyond Medeba.It included Heshbon and the other towns on the plain— Dibon, Bamoth baal, Beth baal meon,Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth shahar on the hill above the valley,Beth peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth jeshimoth.The land of Reuben also included all the towns of the plain and the entire kingdom of Sihon. Sihon was the Amorite king who had reigned in Heshbon and was killed by Moses along with the leaders of Midian— Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba— princes living in the region who were allied with Sihon.The Israelites had also killed Balaam son of Beor, who used magic to tell the future.The Jordan River marked the western boundary for the tribe of Reuben. The towns and their surrounding villages in this area were given as a homeland to the clans of the tribe of Reuben.Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the tribe of Gad.Their territory included Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half of the land of Ammon, as far as the town of Aroer just west of Rabbah.It extended from Heshbon to Ramath mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Lo debar.In the valley were Beth haram, Beth nimrah, Succoth, Zaphon, and the rest of the kingdom of King Sihon of Heshbon. The western boundary ran along the Jordan River, extended as far north as the tip of the Sea of Galilee, and then turned eastward.The towns and their surrounding villages in this area were given as a homeland to the clans of the tribe of Gad.Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the half tribe of Manasseh.Their territory extended from Mahanaim, including all of Bashan, all the former kingdom of King Og, and the sixty towns of Jair in Bashan.It also included half of Gilead and King Og’s royal cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei. All this was given to the clans of the descendants of Makir, who was Manasseh’s son.These are the allotments Moses had made while he was on the plains of Moab, across the Jordan River, east of Jericho.

Moses had already given a grant of land to the two and a half tribes on the east side of the Jordan River, but he had given the Levites no such allotment.

The oldest son of Israel was Reuben. But since he dishonored his father by sleeping with one of his father’s concubines, his birthright was given to the sons of his brother Joseph. For this reason, Reuben is not listed in the genealogical records as the firstborn son.The descendants of Judah became the most powerful tribe and provided a ruler for the nation, but the birthright belonged to Joseph.The sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.The descendants of Joel were Shemaiah, Gog, Shimei,Micah, Reaiah, Baal,and Beerah. Beerah was the leader of the Reubenites when they were taken into captivity by King Tiglath pileser of Assyria.Beerah’s relatives are listed in their genealogical records by their clans: Jeiel( the leader), Zechariah,and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel. The Reubenites lived in the area that stretches from Aroer to Nebo and Baal meon.And since they had so many livestock in the land of Gilead, they spread east toward the edge of the desert that stretches to the Euphrates River.During the reign of Saul, the Reubenites defeated the Hagrites in battle. Then they moved into the Hagrite settlements all along the eastern edge of Gilead.

Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.He told them,“ You have done as Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you, and you have obeyed every order I have given you.During all this time you have not deserted the other tribes. You have been careful to obey the commands of the Lord your God right up to the present day.And now the Lord your God has given the other tribes rest, as he promised them. So go back home to the land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you as your possession on the east side of the Jordan River.But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.”So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went home.Moses had given the land of Bashan, east of the Jordan River, to the half tribe of Manasseh.( The other half of the tribe was given land west of the Jordan.) As Joshua sent them away and blessed them,he said to them,“ Go back to your homes with the great wealth you have taken from your enemies— the vast herds of livestock, the silver, gold, bronze, and iron, and the large supply of clothing. Share the plunder with your relatives.”So the men of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh left the rest of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan. They started the journey back to their own land of Gilead, the territory that belonged to them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.But while they were still in Canaan, and when they came to a place called Geliloth near the Jordan River, the men of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh stopped to build a large and imposing altar.

So Moses assigned land to the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph. He gave them the territory of King Sihon of the Amorites and the land of King Og of Bashan— the whole land with its cities and surrounding lands.The descendants of Gad built the towns of Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth nimrah, and Beth haran. These were all fortified towns with pens for their flocks.The descendants of Reuben built the towns of Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,Nebo, Baal meon, and Sibmah. They changed the names of some of the towns they conquered and rebuilt.Then the descendants of Makir of the tribe of Manasseh went to Gilead and conquered it, and they drove out the Amorites living there.So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites, descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there.The people of Jair, another clan of the tribe of Manasseh, captured many of the towns in Gilead and changed the name of that region to the Towns of Jair.Meanwhile, a man named Nobah captured the town of Kenath and its surrounding villages, and he renamed that area Nobah after himself.
