Deuteronomy 3:1-17
Next we set out on the route to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.The LORD, however, said to me,“ Don’t be afraid of him because I have already given him, his whole army, and his land to you. You will do to him exactly what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon.”So the LORD our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.We captured all his cities at that time– there was not a town we did not take from them– sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the dominion of Og in Bashan.All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; in addition there were a great many open villages.We put all of these under divine judgment just as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon– every occupied city, including women and children.But all the livestock and plunder from the cities we kept for ourselves.So at that time we took the land of the two Amorite kings in the Transjordan from Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon( the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion and the Amorites call it Senir),all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites.( It is noteworthy that his sarcophagus was made of iron. Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide according to standard measure.)This is the land we brought under our control at that time: The territory extending from Aroer by the Wadi Arnon and half the Gilead hill country with its cities I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites.The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh.( All the region of Argob, that is, all Bashan, is called the land of Rephaim.Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites and Maacathites( namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair, which it retains to this very day.)I gave Gilead to Machir.To the Reubenites and Gadites I allocated the territory extending from Gilead as far as Wadi Arnon( the exact middle of the wadi was a boundary) all the way to the Wadi Jabbok, the Ammonite border.The Arabah and the Jordan River were also a border, from the sea of Chinnereth to the sea of the Arabah( that is, the Salt Sea), beneath the watershed of Pisgah to the east.

Numbers 32:33-42
So Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the realm of King Sihon of the Amorites, and the realm of King Og of Bashan, the entire land with its cities and the territory surrounding them.The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks.The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,Nebo, Baal Meon( with a change of name), and Sibmah. They renamed the cities they built.The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.So Moses gave Gilead to Machir, son of Manasseh, and he lived there.Now Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their small towns and named them Havvoth Jair.Then Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.

Joshua 13:15-14:5
Moses assigned land to the tribe of Reuben by its clans.Their territory started at Aroer( on the edge of the Arnon Valley) and included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba,Heshbon and all its surrounding cities on the plain, 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.It encompassed all the cities of the plain and the whole realm of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon. Moses defeated him and the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba( they were subjects of Sihon and lived in his territory).The Israelites killed Balaam son of Beor, the omen reader, along with the others.The border of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan. The land allotted to the tribe of Reuben by its clans included these cities and their towns.Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad by its clans.Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory as far as Aroer near Rabbah.Their territory ran from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.It included the valley of Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, and the rest of the realm of King Sihon of Heshbon, the area east of the Jordan to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth.The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns.Moses assigned land to the half-tribe of Manasseh by its clans.Their territory started at Mahanaim and encompassed all Bashan, the whole realm of King Og of Bashan, including all sixty cities in Havvoth Jair in Bashan.Half of Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities in the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were assigned to the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh, to half the descendants of Makir by their clans.These are the land assignments made by Moses on the plains of Moab east of the Jordan River opposite Jericho.However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the LORD God of Israel, as he instructed them.The following is a record of the territory assigned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders.The land assignments to the nine-and-a-half tribes were made by drawing lots, as the LORD had instructed Moses.Now Moses had assigned land to the two- and- a- half tribes east of the Jordan, but he assigned no land to the Levites.The descendants of Joseph were considered as two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were allotted no territory, though they were assigned cities in which to live, along with the grazing areas for their cattle and possessions.The Israelites followed the LORD’s instructions to Moses and divided up the land.
