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^(A) 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.^(B) (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.^{(C) 14} Jair,^(D) a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites;^(E) it was named^(F) after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.^[a]) ¹⁵ And I gave Gilead to Makir.^{(G) 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,^(H) which is the border of the Ammonites. ¹⁷ Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah,^(I) from Kinnereth^(J) to the Sea of the Arabah^(K) (that is, the Dead Sea^(L)), below the slopes of Pisgah.
