29 »Make sure the tribes of Gad and Reuben prepare for battle and cross the Jordan River with you. If they do, then after the land is in your control, give them the region of Gilead as their tribal land.
30 »But if they break their promise, they will receive land on the other side of the Jordan, like the rest of the tribes.«
31 The tribes of Gad and Reuben replied: »We are your servants and will do whatever Jehovah has commanded.
32 »We will enter Canaan as armed troops in Jehovah’s presence. The land we will take possession of is here, east of the Jordan.«
33 So Moses gave the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph, the kingdoms of King Sihon of the Amorites and King Og of Bashan. It was the whole land with its cities and its surrounding territory.
34 The tribe of Gad rebuilt the cities of Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as walled cities. They also built stone fences for their flocks.
37 The tribe of Reuben rebuilt the cities of Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon whose names were changed, and Sibmah. These are the names they gave the cities they rebuilt.
39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead. They captured it and forced out the Amorites who were there.
40 So Moses gave Gilead to the people of Machir the descendants of Manasseh, and they lived there.
41 Then Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, captured the settlements in Gilead. He called them Havvoth Jair.
42 Nobah captured Kenath and its villages. He named it Nobah after himself.
