With the other half of the tribe, the Reubenites and Gadites had received the inheritance Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the Lord’s servant had given them:From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, all the Medeba plateau as far as Dibon,and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the Ammonites;also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah—the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei; he was one of the remaining Rephaim. Moses struck them down and drove them out,but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites and Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath live in Israel to this day.He did not give any inheritance to the tribe of Levi. This was its inheritance, just as He had promised: the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the God of Israel.To the tribe of the Reubenites by their clans, Moses gavethis as their territory: From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau as far as Medeba,with Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau— Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth—all the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. Moses had killed him and the chiefs of Midian— Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba— the princes of Sihon who lived in the land.Along with those the Israelites put to death, they also killed the diviner, Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.The border of the Reubenites was the Jordan and its plain. This was the inheritance of the Reubenites by their clans, with the cities and their villages.To the tribe of the Gadites by their clans, Moses gavethis as their territory: Jazer and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites to Aroer, near Rabbah;from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;in the valley: Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon— the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon. Their land also included the Jordan and its territory as far as the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth on the east side of the Jordan.This was the inheritance of the Gadites by their clans, with the cities and their villages.And to half the tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the tribe of Manasseh’s descendants by their clans, Moses gavethis as their territory: From Mahanaim through all Bashan— all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all of Jair’s Villages that are in Bashan— 60 cities.But half of Gilead, and Og’s royal cities in Bashan— Ashtaroth and Edrei— are for the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, half the descendants of Machir by their clans.

Numbers 32:29-41
Moses told them,“ If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, every man in battle formation before the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.But if they don’t go across with you in battle formation, they must accept land in Canaan with you.”The Gadites and Reubenites replied,“ What the Lord has spoken to your servants is what we will do.We will cross over in battle formation before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but we will keep our hereditary possession across the Jordan.”So Moses gave them— the Gadites, Reubenites, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph— the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land including its cities with the territories surrounding them.The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and built sheepfolds.The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,as well as Nebo and Baal-meon( whose names were changed), and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled in it.Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages, which he renamed Jair’s Villages.

“ At that time we took possession of this land. I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites the area extending from Aroer by the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead along with its cities.I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og. The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took over the entire region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He called Bashan by his own name, Jair’s Villages, as it is today.I gave Gilead to Machir,and I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites the area extending from Gilead to the Arnon Valley( the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites.The Arabah and Jordan are also borders from Chinnereth as far as the Sea of the Arabah, the Dead Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah on the east.
