Deuteronomy 3:1-17
“ Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan came out against us with his whole army to do battle at Edrei.But the Lord said to me,‘ Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.’So the Lord our God also handed over Og king of Bashan and his whole army to us. We struck him until there was no survivor left.We captured all his cities at that time. There wasn’t a city that we didn’t take from them: 60 cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.All these were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a large number of rural villages.We completely destroyed them, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying the men, women, and children of every city.But we took all the livestock and the spoil from the cities as plunder for ourselves.“ At that time we took the land from the two Amorite kings across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon,which the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call Senir,all the cities of the plateau, Gilead, and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.( Only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the Ammonites? It is 13 feet six inches long and six feet wide by a standard measure.)“ 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.

Numbers 32:33-42
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.Nobah went and captured Kenath with its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.

Joshua 13:15-14:5
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.These were the portions Moses gave them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.But Moses did not give a portion to the tribe of Levi. The Lord, the God of Israel, was their inheritance, just as He had promised them.The Israelites received these portions that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the Israelite tribes gave them in the land of Canaan.Their inheritance was by lot as the Lord commanded through Moses for the nine and a half tribes,because Moses had given the inheritance to the two and a half tribes beyond the Jordan. But he gave no inheritance among them to the Levites.The descendants of Joseph became two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. No portion of the land was given to the Levites except cities to live in, along with pasturelands for their cattle and livestock.So the Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
