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. ⁵  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.

(He was one of the few remaining Rephaites.) ¹⁹  Moses defeated them and took their lands. ²⁰ 

Joshua 13:14-28

13:14 However, Moses ²¹  did not assign land as an inheritance ²²  to the Levites; their inheritance ²³  is the sacrificial offerings ²⁴  made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed ²⁵  them.

13:15 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Reuben ²⁶  by its clans. 13:16 Their territory started at Aroer ²⁷  (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) and included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba, 13:17 Heshbon and all its surrounding cities on the plain, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 13:18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 13:19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 13:20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth. 13:21 It encompassed ²⁸  all the cities of the plain and the whole realm of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon. Moses defeated him and the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba (they were subjects of Sihon and lived in his territory). ²⁹  13:22 The Israelites killed Balaam son of Beor, the omen reader, ³⁰  along with the others. ³¹  13:23 The border of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan. The land allotted to the tribe of Reuben by its clans included these cities and their towns. ³² 

13:24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad ³³  by its clans. 13:25 Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory ³⁴  as far as Aroer near ³⁵  Rabbah. 13:26 Their territory ran ³⁶  from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir. 13:27 It included the valley of Beth Haram, ³⁷  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. ³⁸  13:28 The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns. ³⁹

[4:48]  ³ tn The words “their territory extended” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 47-49 are all one sentence, but for the sake of English style and readability the translation divides the text into two sentences.

[12:4]  ¹³ tn Or perhaps “who reigned.”

[12:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “gave it for a possession.”
