Numbers 32:31-40

31Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: “As the Lord has said to your servants, so we will do.

32We will cross over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us on this side of the Jordan.”

33So Moses gave to the children of Gad, to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with its cities within the borders, the cities of the surrounding country.

34And the children of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer,

35Atroth and Shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah,

36Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kirjathaim,

38Nebo and Baal Meon (their names being changed) and Shibmah; and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

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

40So Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it.
