Numbers 32:28–42

²⁸So Moses commanded them, Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families^d of the tribes of the Israelites.^{e 29}Moses said to them, “If the descendants^f of Gad and the descendants^g of Reuben, everyone who is armed for the war, cross over the Jordan before^h Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, you will give them the land of Gilead as property. ³⁰But if they will not cross over with you armed, they will acquire land in your midst in Canaan.” ³¹The descendantsⁱ of Gad and the descendants of Reuben answered and said, “What Yahweh has commanded your servants, we will do. ³²We ourselves will cross over armed before^j Yahweh to the land of Canaan, and the property of our inheritance will remain with us beyond the Jordan.”

³³So Moses gave to them, to the descendants^k of Gad and the descendants^l of Reuben, and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon the king of Amorites and the kingdom of Og the king of the Bashan, the land with its cities and their territories, the cities of the surrounding land. ³⁴The descendants^m of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, and Aroer, ³⁵and Atroth Shophan, Jazer, and Jogbehah, ³⁶and Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran, the cities of Mibzar, and the sheep pens for flocks. ³⁷The descendantsⁿ of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, and Kiriathaim, ³⁸and Nebo, Baal Meon (their names^o were changed), and Sibmah, and they renamed^p the cities that they rebuilt. ³⁹The descendants^q of Makir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and they captured it and drove out the Amorites^r who were in it. ⁴⁰So Moses gave Gilead to Makir son of Manasseh, and he lived in it. ⁴¹And Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their unwalled villages, and he called them Havvoth Jair. ⁴²Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah after his own name.
