Joshua 13:16-25

16Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, including the city in the middle of the valley and the whole plateau near Medeba.

17It included Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,

18Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

19Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the mountain in the valley,

20Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth.

21It also included all the cities of the plateau, the whole kingdom of King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon. Moses defeated him and Midian’s leaders—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They were princes of Sihon, who lived in that country.

22Along with these leaders, the people of Israel also killed Balaam, son of Beor, who used black magic.

23The border of Reuben’s territory was the Jordan River. This was Reuben’s inheritance for its families. It included cities with their villages.

24Moses gave some land as an inheritance to the tribe of Gad for its families.

25Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammon as far as Aroer, which is by Rabbah.
