Numbers 32:28–42

²⁸Then Moses gave orders about them^x to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun^y and to the family heads of the Israelite tribes.^{z 29}He said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you,^a you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.^{b 30}But if they do not cross over^c with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.^d”

³¹The Gadites and Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the Lord has said.^{e 32}We will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed,^f but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.^g”

³³Then Moses gave to the Gadites,^h the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manassehⁱ son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites^j and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan^k—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.^l

³⁴The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,^{m 35}Atroth Shophan, Jazer,ⁿ Jogbehah,^{o 36}Beth Nimrah^p and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks.^{q 37}And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon,^r Elealeh^s and Kiriathaim,^{t 38}as well as Nebo^u and Baal Meon (these names were changed) and Sibmah.^v They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.

³⁹The descendants of Makir^w son of Manasseh went to Gilead,^x captured it and drove out the Amorites^y who were there. ⁴⁰So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites,^z the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there. ⁴¹Jair,^a a descendant of Manasseh, captured their settlements and called them Havvoth Jair.^{bb 42}And Nobah captured Kenath^c and its surrounding settlements and called it Nobah^d after himself.^e
