Deuteronomy 3:12-16
This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half- tribe of Manasseh— all the region of Argob, even all Bashan.( The same is called the land of Rephaim.Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)I gave Gilead to Machir.To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

Joshua 13:7-32
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half- tribe of Manasseh.”With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them:from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei( who was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses attacked these, and drove them out.Nevertheless the children of Israel didn’t drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath live within Israel to this day.Only he gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar in the mount of the valley,Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.The children of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the soothsayer, with the sword, among the rest of their slain.The border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages.Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is near Rabbah;and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan’s bank, to the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages.Moses gave an inheritance to the half- tribe of Manasseh. It was for the half- tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.Their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.Half Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.

1 Chronicles 5 1-1 Chronicles 5 10
The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel( for he was the firstborn; but, because he defiled his father’s couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be listed according to the birthright.For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and from him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph’s)—the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,and Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive. He was prince of the Reubenites.His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was listed: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon;and he lived eastward even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the land east of Gilead.

Joshua 22:1-10
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half- tribe of Manasseh,and said to them,“ You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of Yahweh your God.Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.Now to the one half- tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but Joshua gave to the other half among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,and spoke to them, saying,“ Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the plunder of your enemies with your brothers.”The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half- tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.When they came to the region near the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half- tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
