Numbers 32:33-42

33So Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the realm of King Sihon of the Amorites, and the realm of King Og of Bashan, the entire land with its cities and the territory surrounding them.

34The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks.

37The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

38Nebo, Baal Meon (with a change of name), and Sibmah. They renamed the cities they built.

39The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

40So Moses gave Gilead to Machir, son of Manasseh, and he lived there.

41Now Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their small towns and named them Havvoth Jair.

42Then Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.
