Numbers 32:1-5
The Petition of the Reubenites and Gadites
32:1 Now the Reubenites and the Gadites possessed a very large number of cattle. When they saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were ideal for cattle,
32:2 the Gadites and the Reubenites came and addressed Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community. They said,
32:3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
32:4 the land that the Lord subdued before the community of Israel, is ideal for cattle, and your servants have cattle.”
32:5 So they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for our inheritance. Do not have us cross the Jordan River.”
Numbers 32:33-42
Land Assignment
32:33 So Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the realm of King Sihon of the Amorites, and the realm of King Og of Bashan, the entire land with its cities and the territory surrounding them.
32:34 The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
32:35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
32:36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks.
32:37 The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
32:38 Nebo, Baal Meon (with a change of name), and Sibmah. They renamed the cities they built.
32:39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
32:40 So Moses gave Gilead to Machir, son of Manasseh, and he lived there.
32:41 Now Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their small towns and named them Havvoth Jair.
32:42 Then Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.
