Numbers 32:28–42

²⁸And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel; ²⁹and Moses saith unto them, ‘If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a possession; ³⁰and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.’ ³¹And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, ‘That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants—so we do; ³²we—we pass over armed before Jehovah to the land of Canaan, and with us is the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.’ ³³And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about. ³⁴And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, ³⁵and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, ³⁶and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds. ³⁷And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, ³⁸and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by these names the names of the cities which they have built. ³⁹And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who is in it; ⁴⁰and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it. ⁴¹And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them ‘Towns of Jair;’ ⁴²and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.
