Numbers 32:33–42

³³Then Moses gave their land to them. He gave it to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and half of the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh was Joseph’s son. One part of that land had belonged to the kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorites. The other part had belonged to the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan. Moses gave that whole land to those two and a half tribes. It included its cities and the territory around them.

³⁴The people of Gad built up the cities of Dibon, Ataroth and Aroer. ³⁵They built up Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, ³⁶Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran. They built a high wall around each of those cities. They also built sheep pens for their flocks.

³⁷The people of Reuben built up Heshbon, Elealeh and Kiriathaim. ³⁸They also built up Nebo, Baal Meon and Sibmah. They gave new names to the cities they had built up.

³⁹The people of Makir, the son of Manasseh, went to the land of Gilead. They captured it. They drove out the Amorites who were living there. ⁴⁰So Moses gave Gilead to the people of Makir, the son of Manasseh. And they settled there. ⁴¹Jair was a man in the family line of Manasseh. Jair captured Gilead’s settlements. He called them Havvoth Jair. ⁴²Nobah captured Kenath and the settlements that were around it. He named it after himself.
