Numbers 32:28–42

²⁸So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and ^bJoshua 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 will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the Lord, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession: ³⁰But if they will 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 the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. ³²We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours. ³³And ^cMoses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, ^dthe kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

³⁴And the children of Gad built ^eDibon, and ^eAtaroth, and ^fAroer, ³⁵And Atroth, Shophan, and ^†Jaazer, and Jogbehah, ³⁶And ^||Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, ^gfenced cities: and folds for sheep. ³⁷And the children of Reuben built ^hHeshbon, and ⁱElealeh, and Kirjathaim, ³⁸And ⁱNebo, and ^jBaal-meon, ^k(their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and ^†gave other names unto the cities which they builded. ³⁹And the children of ^lMachir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it. ⁴⁰And Moses ^mgave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. ⁴¹And ⁿJair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them ^oHavoth-jair. ⁴²And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the ^pvillages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
