⁹ So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.

²⁶ Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;

²⁹ And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:

¹ Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle;

³⁹ And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.

¹⁵ And Gilead I gave to Machir.

¹⁶ And the land from Gilead to the valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a limit, as far as the river Jabbok which is the limit of the country of the children of Ammon, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites;

¹¹ And Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;

²⁵ And their limit was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah;

³¹ And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir by their families.

⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
