Numbers 32:28–42

²⁸So ^vMoses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and to ^wJoshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel. ²⁹And Moses said to them, “If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the Lord, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession. ³⁰However, if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.” ³¹And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, “What the Lord has said to your servants, we will do. ³²We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”

³³And ^xMoses gave to them, to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land and its cities with their territories, the cities of the land throughout the country. ³⁴And the people of Gad built ^yDibon, ^zAtaroth, ^aAroer, ³⁵Atroth-shophan, ^bJazer, Jogbehah, ^36cBeth-nimrah and Beth-haran, ^dfortified cities, and folds for sheep. ³⁷And the people of Reuben built ^eHeshbon, ^yElealeh, Kiriathaim, ^38fNebo, and ^gBaal-meon (^htheir names were changed), and ^cSibmah. And they gave other names to the cities that they built. ³⁹And the sons of ⁱMachir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it. ⁴⁰And Moses ^jgave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he settled in it. ⁴¹And ^kJair the son of Manasseh went and captured their villages, and called them Havvoth-jair.^{1 42}And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
