29. Moses said to them: “If the Gadites and the Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, each one equipped for battle in the Lord’s presence, and you conquer the land, then you must allot them the territory of Gilead as their possession.
30. But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must receive possessions among you in Canaan.”
31. Then the Gadites and the Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the Lord has spoken.
32. We will cross armed in the Lord’s presence into the land of Canaan, and then the possession of our inheritance that we inherit will be ours on this side of the Jordan River.”
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.
34. The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35. Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36. Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks.
37. The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38. Nebo, Baal Meon (with a change of name), and Sibmah. They renamed the cities they built.
39. The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
40. So Moses gave Gilead to Machir, son of Manasseh, and he lived there.
41. Now Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their small towns and named them Havvoth Jair.
