⁷and divide it as an inheritance^(A) among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

⁸The other half of Manasseh,^[a] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned^(B) it to them.^(C)

⁹It extended from Aroer^(D) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau^(E) of Medeba as far as Dibon,^(F) ¹⁰and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,^(G) out to the border of the Ammonites.^(H) ¹¹It also included Gilead,^(I) the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah^(J)— ¹²that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,^(K) who had reigned in Ashtaroth^(L) and Edrei.^(M) (He was the last of the Rephaites.^(N)) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.^(O) ¹³But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur^(P) and Maakah,^(Q) so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.^(R)
