The Land Divided East of the Jordan

8With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, owhich Moses had given them, pbeyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them: 9from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, qand all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon; 10rall the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon; 11sGilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah; 12all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of tthe remnant of the giants; ufor Moses had 4defeated and 5cast out these.

13Nevertheless the children of Israel vdid not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

14wOnly to the tribe of Levi he had given 6no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, xas He said to them.

The Land of Reuben

15yAnd Moses had given to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance according to their families. 16Their territory was zfrom Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, aand the city that is in the midst of the ravine, band all the plain by Medeba; 17cHeshbon and all its cities that are in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18dJahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19eKirjathaim, fSibmah, Zereth Shahar on the mountain of the valley, 20Beth Peor, gthe slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth—21hall the cities of the plain and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, iwhom Moses had struck jwith the princes of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who were princes of Sihon dwelling in the country. 22The children of Israel also killed with the sword kBalaam the son of Beor, the 7soothsayer, among those who were killed by them. 23And the border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

The Land of Gad

24lMoses also had given an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families. 25mTheir territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, nand half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, which is before oRabbah, 26and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, 27and in the valley pBeth Haram, Beth Nimrah, qSuccoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as its border, as far as the edge rof the 8Sea of Chinnereth, on the other side of the Jordan eastward. 28This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.
