Deuteronomy 2:36

Context
2:36 From Aroer, 1  which is at the edge of Wadi Arnon (it is the city in the wadi), 2  all the way to Gilead there was not a town able to resist us – the Lord our God gave them all to us.

Deuteronomy 3:12

Context
Distribution of the Transjordanian Allotments

3:12 This is the land we brought under our control at that time: The territory extending from Aroer 3  by the Wadi Arnon and half the Gilead hill country with its cities I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites. 4 

Joshua 13:24-33

Context

13:24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad 5  by its clans. 13:25 Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory 6  as far as Aroer near 7  Rabbah. 13:26 Their territory ran 8  from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir. 13:27 It included the valley of Beth Haram, 9  Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, and the rest of the realm of King Sihon of Heshbon, the area east of the Jordan to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth. 10  13:28 The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns. 11 

13:29 Moses assigned land to the half-tribe of Manasseh 12  by its clans. 13:30 Their territory started at 13  Mahanaim and encompassed all Bashan, the whole realm of King Og of Bashan, including all sixty cities in Havvoth Jair 14  in Bashan. 13:31 Half of Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities in the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were assigned to the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh, to half the descendants of Makir by their clans.

13:32 These are the land assignments made by Moses 15  on the plains of Moab east of the Jordan River opposite Jericho. 16  13:33 However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance 17  to the Levites; their inheritance 18  is the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed 19  them.

[2:36]  1 sn Aroer. Now known as àAraáir on the northern edge of the Arnon river, Aroer marked the southern limit of Moab and, later, of the allotment of the tribe of Reuben (Josh 13:9, 16).

[2:36]  2 tn Heb “the city in the wadi.” This enigmatic reference may refer to Ar or, more likely, to Aroer itself. Epexegetically the text might read, “From Aroer…, that is, the city in the wadi.” See D. L. Christensen, Deuteronomy 1–11 (WBC), 49.

[3:12]  3 tn The words “the territory extending” are not in the Hebrew text; they are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[3:12]  4 sn Reubenites and Gadites. By the time of Moses’ address the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had already been granted permission to settle in the Transjordan, provided they helped the other tribes subdue the occupants of Canaan (cf. Num 32:28-42).

[13:24]  5 tn Heb “assigned to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad.”
