33 (A)So Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad, the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land with its cities with their [a]territories, the cities of the surrounding land.

33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites,(A) the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh(B) son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites(C) and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan(D)—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.(E)

(A)So at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the [a]Valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon (Sidonians (B)call Hermon (C)Sirion, and the Amorites call it (D)Senir): 10 all the cities of the plateau, all Gilead, and (E)all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 (For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the (F)Rephaim. Behold, his [b]bed was a [c]bed of iron; it is in (G)Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. Its length was nine cubits, and its width four cubits by [d]the usual cubit.)

12 “So we took possession of this land at that time. From (H)Aroer, which is by the [e]Valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of (I)Gilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob. (As to all Bashan, it is called the land of Rephaim. 14 (J)Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, that is, Bashan, and named [f]it after his own name: [g]Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 (K)To Machir I gave Gilead. 16 To the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave from Gilead even as far as the [h]Valley of Arnon, the middle of the [i]valley [j]as a border, and as far as the [k]river (L)Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan [l]as a border, from [m](M)Chinnereth (N)even as far as the sea of the Arabah, (O)the Salt Sea, [n]at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east.

So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(A) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(B) (Hermon is called Sirion(C) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)(D) 10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(E) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(F) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] It is still in Rabbah(G) of the Ammonites.)

Division of the Land

12 Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer(H) by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns. 13 The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh.(I) (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.(J) 14 Jair,(K) a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites;(L) it was named(M) after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.[b]) 15 And I gave Gilead to Makir.(N) 16 But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being the border) and out to the Jabbok River,(O) which is the border of the Ammonites. 17 Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah,(P) from Kinnereth(Q) to the Sea of the Arabah(R) (that is, the Dead Sea(S)), below the slopes of Pisgah.
