Deuteronomy 3:12-20

12SoH853 at thatH1931 timeH6256 we took possession ofH3423 thisH2063 landH776. To the ReubenitesH7206 and GaditesH1425 I gaveH5414 the land beyond AroerH6177 alongH5921 the ArnonH769 ValleyH5158, and halfH2677 the hill countryH2022 of GileadH1568, along with its citiesH5892.

13To the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519 I gaveH5414 the restH3499 of GileadH1568 and allH3605 of BashanH1316, the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747. (The entireH3605 regionH2256 of ArgobH709, the wholeH3605 territory of BashanH1316H1931, used to be calledH7121 the landH776 of the RephaimH7497.) 14JairH2971, a descendantH1121 of ManassehH4519, tookH3947 the wholeH3605 regionH2256 of ArgobH709 as far asH5704 the borderH1366 of the GeshuritesH1651 and MaacathitesH4602. He renamedH7121 BashanH1316H5704 afterH5921 himselfH8034, Havvoth-jairH2334,1 by whichH2088 it is called to this dayH3117.

15To MachirH4353 I gaveH5414 GileadH1568, 16and to the ReubenitesH7206 and GaditesH1425 I gaveH5414 the territory fromH4480 GileadH1568 toH5704 the ArnonH769 ValleyH5158 (the middleH8432 of the valleyH5158 was the borderH1366) and up toH5704 the JabbokH2999 RiverH5158, the borderH1366 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983. 17The JordanH3383 River in the ArabahH6160 bordered itH1366 from ChinnerethH3672 toH5704 the SeaH3220 of the ArabahH6160 (the Salt SeaH3220H44172) withH8478 the slopesH794 of PisgahH6449 to the eastH4217.

18At thatH1931H559 timeH6256 I commandedH6680 youH853: “The LORDH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you thisH2063 landH776 to possessH3423. AllH3605 your menH1121 of valorH2428 are to cross overH5674, armed for battleH2502, ahead ofH6440 your brothersH251, the IsraelitesH1121H3478. 19ButH7535 your wivesH802, your childrenH2945, and your livestockH4735—I knowH3045 thatH3588 you have muchH7227 livestockH4735—may remainH3427 in the citiesH5892 I have givenH5414 you, 20untilH5704 the LORDH3068 gives restH5117 to your brothersH251 as He has to you, and theyH1992 tooH1571 have taken possession ofH3423 the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 them acrossH5676 the JordanH3383. Then each of youH376 may returnH7725 to the possessionH3425 I have givenH5414 you.”
