Deuteronomy 3:8-17

8“1So at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the 2Valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon 9(Sidonians 3call Hermon 4Sirion, and the Amorites call it 5Senir): 10all the cities of the plateau, all Gilead, and 6all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11(For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the 7Rephaim. Behold, his 8bed was a 9bed of iron; it is in 10Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. Its length was nine cubits, and its width four cubits by 11the usual cubit.)

12“So we took possession of this land at that time. From 12Aroer, which is by the 13Valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of 14Gilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob. (As to all Bashan, it is called the land of Rephaim. 1415Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, that is, Bashan, and named 16it after his own name: 17Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 1518To Machir I gave Gilead. 16To the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave from Gilead even as far as the 19Valley of Arnon, the middle of the 20valley 21as a border, and as far as the 22river 23Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon; 17the Arabah also, with the Jordan 24as a border, from 2526Chinnereth 27even as far as the sea of the Arabah, 28the Salt Sea, 29at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east.
