Numbers 32:31-40

31The tribes of Gad and Reuben said again, “We are your servants, and we will do as the Lord has commanded!

32We will cross the Jordan into Canaan fully armed to fight for the Lord, but our property will be here on this side of the Jordan.”

33So Moses assigned land to the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph. He gave them the territory of King Sihon of the Amorites and the land of King Og of Bashan—the whole land with its cities and surrounding lands.

34The descendants of Gad built the towns of Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran. These were all fortified towns with pens for their flocks.

37The descendants of Reuben built the towns of Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

38Nebo, Baal-meon, and Sibmah. They changed the names of some of the towns they conquered and rebuilt.

39Then the descendants of Makir of the tribe of Manasseh went to Gilead and conquered it, and they drove out the Amorites living there.

40So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites, descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there.
