Numbers 32:28–42

²⁸So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel. ²⁹And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; ³⁰but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. ³¹And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will we do. ³²We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side the Jordan shall be ours. ³³And Moses gave to them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and territories, the cities of the land round about. ³⁴And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, ³⁵and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah, ³⁶and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-haran, strong cities, and sheepfolds. ³⁷—And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim, ³⁸and Nebo, and Baal-meon (of which the names were changed), and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities that they built. ³⁹—And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that were therein. ⁴⁰And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. ⁴¹And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair. ⁴²And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.
