Joshua 13:16-25

16He gave them the land from Aroer by the edge of the Arnon valley and the town in the middle of the valley.

17And he gave them all the flat land past Medeba in Heshbon. It included Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,

18Jahaz and Kedemoth. It also included Mephaath,

19Kiriathaim, Sibmah and Zereth Shahar. Zereth was on a hill in the middle of the valley.

20Their land included Beth Peor, and the sides of Pisgah mountain, and Beth Jeshimoth town.

21Moses gave them all the towns on the flat land. He gave them all the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites. Sihon had ruled from Hebron. But Moses had won the fight against him and the Midianite kings, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba. These kings had ruled with Sihon and they lived in his land.

22The Israelites had killed the prophet Balaam, son of Beor, when they killed soldiers in the battle. He had used magic to help Balak fight against Israel.

23The border of Reuben's land was the Jordan River. Moses gave these towns and their villages to the tribe of Reuben, family by family.

24This is the part of the land that Moses gave to the clans of Gad's tribe.

25He gave them the land of Jazer, the towns of Gilead and half the land of the Ammonites. Their land went as far as Aroer, a town which was near Rabbah.
