The Land East of the Jordan Divided^(A)

¹² “And this ^(B)land, which we possessed at that time, ^(C)from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and ^(D)its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

¹⁵ “Also I gave ^(A)Gilead to Machir.

¹⁶ And to the Reubenites ^(A)and 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, ^(B)the border of the people of Ammon;

¹⁸ “Then I commanded you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. ^(A)All you men of valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel.

¹⁵ until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. ^(A)Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”

The Land Divided East of the Jordan

⁸ With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, ^(A)which Moses had given them, ^(B)beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them:

³² These are the areas which Moses had ^[a]distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward.

⁴ And now the Lord your God has given ^(A)rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, ^(B)which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

⁹ So the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to ^(A)the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
