So then Moses gave unto them even unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben and unto the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land by her cities with boundaries, even the cities of the land round about. And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, - and Aroer; and Atroth-shophan and Jazer, and Jogbehah; read more.
and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, - fortified cities and folds for flocks. And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, - and Kiriathaim, and Nebo and Baal-meon - their names being changed, and Sibmah, - and they gave names to the cities which they built. Then went the sons of Machir son of Manasseh to Gilead, and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein, So Moses gave Gilead unto Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein. And Jair, son of Manasseh, went, and captured their encampments, - and called them Havvoth-jair. And, Nobah, went, and captured Kenath, with the villages thereof, - and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Thus then Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families; and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine and all the table-land by Medeba; Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table-land, - Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon; read more.
and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath; and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale; and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth; and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, - whom Moses smote - with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land;

And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof. And Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons of Gad by their families; and their boundary was - Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, - as far as Aroer, which faceth Rabbah; and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh, and Botonim, - and from Mahanaim as far as the boundary of Debir; and in the valley - Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and district, - as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, by their families, - the cities and the villages thereof. And Moses gave an inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh, - so it belonged to the half tribe of the sons of Manasseh by their families; and their boundary was - from Mahanaim all Bashan all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the Encampments of Jair which are in Bashan three-score cities; and, half Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, pertained to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half the sons of Machir by their families.


And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, - and Kiriathaim,

and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale;


For Levi hath no portion in your midst, for, the priesthood of Yahweh, is his inheritance, - and, Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance, beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them.

Then turned we and went up, the way of Bashan; and Og king of Bashan, came out to meet us, he, and all his people, to give battle at Edrei. And Yahweh said unto me: Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people and his land, - so then thou shalt do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites who was dwelling in Heshbon. Then did Yahweh our God deliver into our hand, Og also, king of Bashan and all his people, - so we smote him until there was not left remaining to him a survivor. read more.
And we captured all his cities, at that time, there was no fortress which we took not from them, - sixty cities all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these, were fortified cities each with a high wall, folding gates and a bar, - besides country towns exceeding many. And we devoted them to destruction, doing unto them as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, - devoting to destruction every city of males, the women, and the little ones. But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, made we our prey. Thus did we at that time take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites (which was over the Jordan), - from the ravine of Arnon as far as Mount Hermon. Sidonians, call Hermon Sirion, - but, the Amorites, call it Senir. All the cities of the table-land, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, - unto Salecah, and Edrei, - cities of the kingdom of Og, in Bashan. For, only Og, king of Bashan was left remaining of the remnant of the giants, lo! his bedstead, was a bedstead of iron, is not, the same, in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits, the length thereof and four cubits, the breadth thereof, by the fore-arm of a man. And this land, took we in possession at that time, - from Aroer which is by the ravine of Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites; but the remainder of Gilead, and all Bashan the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh, - all the region of the Argob with all Bashan. The same, is called, A land of giants. Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob, as far as the boundary of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites, - and called them after his own name The Bashan of Havvoth-jair unto this day. And, unto Machir, gave I Gilead; And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites, gave I - from Gilead even as far as the ravine of Arnon, the middle of the ravine and boundary, - even as far as the Jabbok ravine, the boundary of the sons Ammon; the Waste Plain also and the Jordan and boundary, - from Chinnereth, even as far as the sea of the Waste Plain the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah, on the east. So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour, Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you; until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.

Thus then Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families; and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine and all the table-land by Medeba; Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table-land, - Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon; read more.
and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath; and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale; and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth; and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, - whom Moses smote - with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land; Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain. And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof.


For, the fields of Heshbon are withered - The vine of Sibmah, the owners of nations, have broken off ruddy branches, Unto Jazer, had they reached, They had spread abroad to the desert, - Her boughs, had stretched forth, had gone over to the sea. For this cause, will I bewail, in the wailing of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I will drench thee with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh, - For, upon thy fruit-harvest, and upon thy grain-harvest, the battle-shout, hath fallen.

Beyond the weeping of Jazer, will I weep for thee O vine of Sibmah, Thy tendrils, have gone over the sea, Unto the sea of Jazer, have they reached, Upon thy summer fruits And upon thy vintage, the spoiler, hath fallen.

And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof. And Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons of Gad by their families; and their boundary was - Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, - as far as Aroer, which faceth Rabbah; and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh, and Botonim, - and from Mahanaim as far as the boundary of Debir; and in the valley - Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and district, - as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, by their families, - the cities and the villages thereof. And Moses gave an inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh, - so it belonged to the half tribe of the sons of Manasseh by their families; and their boundary was - from Mahanaim all Bashan all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the Encampments of Jair which are in Bashan three-score cities; and, half Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, pertained to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half the sons of Machir by their families. These, are the portions which Moses gave for inheritance, in the waste plains of Moab, - over the Jordan by Jericho eastward. But, unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no inheritance, - Yahweh God of Israel, he, was their inheritance, as he spake unto them.

So the men went, and passed through the land, and mapped it out by cities, into seven parts, upon a scroll, - and came in unto Joshua, unto the camp, in Shiloh.
