Numbers 32:31-40

31The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “What the Lord has spoken to your servants is what we will do.

32We will cross over in battle formation before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but we will keep our hereditary possession across the Jordan.”

33So Moses gave them — the Gadites, Reubenites, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph — the kingdom of King Sihon of the Amorites and the kingdom of King Og of Bashan, the land including its cities with the territories surrounding them.

34The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and built sheep pens.

37The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

38as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.

39The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.

40So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled in it.
