Allotments East of the Jordan

Joshua 13:8-33
8The Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them beside the Jordan eastward, just as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them. 9From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the Arnon torrent, and the city that is in the midst of the torrent, and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon, 10and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites, 11together with Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all of Bashan as far as Salecah, 12All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei; he remained from the remainder of the Rephaim, and Moses struck them and dispossessed them. 13And the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurite and the Maacathite, so Geshur and Maacah dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day. 14Moses gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi; the offerings to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he had promised them. 15Moses gave the tribe of Reuben an inheritance according to their clans. 16And their boundary was from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the Arnon torrent, and the city that is in the midst of the torrent, and all the plain upon Medeba, 17Heshbon and all its towns on the plain, Dibon, Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon, 18Jahaz, Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19Kiriathaim, Sebam, and Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth, 21and all the towns of the plain and the entire kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and whom Moses defeated, together with the princes of Midian—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—who were vassals of Sihon and lived in the land, 22And Balaam son of Beor, the diviner, the sons of Israel killed with the sword among their slain. 23The border of the Reubenites was the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the Reubenites according to their clans, including the towns and their villages. 24Moses gave the tribe of Gad an inheritance according to their clans. 25Their territory included Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer by Rabbah, 26and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, 27And in the valley: Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the remainder of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as boundary as far as the end of the Sea of Chinnereth on the east side of the Jordan. 28This was the inheritance of the Gadites according to their clans, including the towns and their villages. 29Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh according to their clans. 30And their boundary was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair that are in Bashan, sixty cities. 31and half of Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of Og in Bashan. This portion belonged to the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, to half the descendants of Machir, according to their clans. 32These are the territories that Moses allotted as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the east side of the Jordan opposite Jericho. 33Moses gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi; the LORD, the God of Israel, himself is their inheritance, as he had promised them.
