5. and the land of the Gebalites, and all the Lebanon, toward the east, from Baal Gad at the foot of Mount Hermon up to Lebo-Hamath;
6. all the inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanon up to Misrephoth Maim, and all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the Israelites; only allocate it to Israel as an inheritance just as I have commanded you.
7. Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
8. With it the Reubenites, and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to them:
9. from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi of Arnon, and the city which is in the middle of the wadi, and all the plateau from Medeba up to Dibon;
10. and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon up to the border of the Ammonites;
11. and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurite and the Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and Bashan up to Salecah;
12. all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei—he was left over from the survivors of the Rephaim; these Moses had defeated and driven out.
13. But the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this day.
14. Only the tribe of Levites Moses did not give an inheritance; the offerings made by fire to Yahweh the God of Israel are their inheritance, just as he promised to them.
15. Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the descendants of Reuben according to their families.
16. Their territory was from Aroer, which was on the edge of the wadi of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau by Medeba;
17. Heshbon and its cities that are on the plateau; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
18. Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19. Kiriathaim, Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley;
20. Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth;
21. all of the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and whom Moses defeated with the leaders of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon who dwelled in the land.
22. In addition to their slain, the Israelites killed with the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination.
23. And the border of the descendants of Reuben was the Jordan and its banks. This was the inheritance of the descendants of Reuben according to their families, the cities, and their villages.
