Joshua 13:8-31
The other half of Manasseh, the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned it to them.It extended from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, out to the border of the Ammonites.It also included Gilead, the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah—that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei.( He was the last of the Rephaites.) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur and Maakah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medebato Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley,Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth—all the towns on the plateau and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba— princes allied with Sihon— who lived in that country.In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination.The boundary of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:The territory of Jazer, all the towns of Gilead and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir;and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Sukkoth and Zaphon with the rest of the realm of Sihon king of Heshbon( the east side of the Jordan, the territory up to the end of the Sea of Galilee).These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites, according to their clans.This is what Moses had given to the half- tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:The territory extending from Mahanaim and including all of Bashan, the entire realm of Og king of Bashan— all the settlements of Jair in Bashan, sixty towns,half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei( the royal cities of Og in Bashan). This was for the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh— for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans. (niv)

Numbers 32:29-41
He said to them,“ If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.”The Gadites and Reubenites answered,“ Your servants will do what the Lord has said.We will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed, but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.”Then Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan— the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks.And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh and Kiriathaim,as well as Nebo and Baal Meon( these names were changed) and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.The descendants of Makir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it and drove out the Amorites who were there.So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites, the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there.Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, captured their settlements and called them Havvoth Jair.

Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns.The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh.( The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites; it was named after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.)And I gave Gilead to Makir.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, which is the border of the Ammonites.Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah, from Kinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah( that is, the Dead Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.
