So this allotment was for the rest of the people of Manasseh(A)—the clans of Abiezer,(B) Helek, Asriel,(C) Shechem, Hepher(D) and Shemida.(E) These are the other male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.

31 The Gadites and Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the Lord has said.(C) 32 We will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed,(D) but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.(E)

33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites,(F) the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh(G) son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites(H) and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan(I)—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.(J)

34 The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,(K) 35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer,(L) Jogbehah,(M) 36 Beth Nimrah(N) and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks.(O) 37 And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon,(P) Elealeh(Q) and Kiriathaim,(R) 38 as well as Nebo(S) and Baal Meon (these names were changed) and Sibmah.(T) They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.
