Deuteronomy 3:12–20

The Land East of the Jordan Divided

¹²“And this ⁿland, which we possessed at that time, ^ofrom Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and ^pits cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. ^13qThe rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the ³giants. ^14rJair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, ^sas far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and ^tcalled Bashan after his own name, ⁴Havoth Jair, to this day.)

¹⁵“Also I gave ^uGilead to Machir. ¹⁶And to the Reubenites ^vand the Gadites I gave from Gilead as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, as far as the River Jabbok, ^wthe border of the people of Ammon; ¹⁷the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth ^xas far as the east side of the Sea of the Arabah ^y(the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.

¹⁸“Then I commanded you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. ^zAll you men of valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel. ¹⁹But your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall stay in your cities which I have given you, ²⁰until the Lord has given ^arest to your brethren as to you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God is giving them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may ^breturn to his possession which I have given you.’
