15 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:

16 The territory from Aroer(A) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba(B) 17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau,(C) including Dibon,(D) Bamoth Baal,(E) Beth Baal Meon,(F) 18 Jahaz,(G) Kedemoth,(H) Mephaath,(I) 19 Kiriathaim,(J) Sibmah,(K) Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 Beth Peor,(L) the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 all the towns on the plateau(M) and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs,(N) Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba(O)—princes allied with Sihon—who lived in that country. 22 In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor,(P) who practiced divination.(Q) 23 The boundary of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.(R)

24 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

25 The territory of Jazer,(S) all the towns of Gilead(T) and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;(U) 26 and from Heshbon(V) to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim(W) to the territory of Debir;(X) 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,(Y) Sukkoth(Z) and Zaphon(AA) with the rest of the realm of Sihon king of Heshbon (the east side of the Jordan, the territory up to the end of the Sea of Galilee[a](AB)). 28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites,(AC) according to their clans.

29 This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:

30 The territory extending from Mahanaim(AD) and including all of Bashan,(AE) the entire realm of Og king of Bashan(AF)—all the settlements of Jair(AG) in Bashan, sixty towns, 31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan).(AH) This was for the descendants of Makir(AI) son of Manasseh—for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.(AJ)

32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab(AK) across the Jordan east of Jericho.(AL)
