It included Gilead, the regions of Geshur and Maacah, all of Mount Hermon, and all of Bashan as far as Salecah.

Their territory included Jazer and all the cities of Gilead, half the land of Ammon as far as Aroer, which is east of Rabbah;

It included half of Gilead, as well as Ashtaroth and Edrei, the capital cities of Og's kingdom in Bashan. All this was given to half the families descended from Machir son of Manasseh.

The tribes of Reuben and Gad had a lot of livestock. When they saw how suitable the land of Jazer and Gilead was for cattle,

Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep will remain here in the towns of Gilead.

"If the men of Gad and Reuben cross the Jordan ready for battle at the LORD's command and if with their help you are able to conquer the land, then give them the land of Gilead as their property.

The clan of Machir son of Manasseh invaded the land of Gilead, occupied it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.

So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir, and they lived there.

"I assigned Gilead to the clan of Machir of the tribe of Manasseh.

And to the tribes of Reuben and Gad I assigned the territory from Gilead to the Arnon River. The middle of the river was their southern boundary, and their northern boundary was the Jabbok River, part of which formed the Ammonite border.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too; Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my royal scepter.
