13:8 Division of the land east of the Yarden

Promised land

8 Along with the other half of the Menasheh half-tribe (Manasseh), the Re’uven and Gad tribes had taken their inheritance on the other (eastern) side of the Yarden (Jordan) as approved by Yahweh’s servant Mosheh (Moses),[ref] 9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon riverbed, and the city that’s in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau near Meydeva, to Divon. 10 Also, all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorim who ruled in Heshbon, as far as the border with the Amonim, 11 and Gilead, and the territory of the Geshurim and the Ma’akatim, and all Mt. Hermon, and all the Bashan as far as Salkah, 12 all Og’s kingdom in the Bashan, who reigned in Ashtarot and in Edre’i (what remained from the remnant of the Refaim). Mosheh had attacked them and captured their lands. 13 But the Israelis didn’t capture the land of the Geshurim or the Ma’akatim and so those peoples live among the Israelis to this day.

14 The only tribe that didn’t receive an inheritance was the Levi tribe because the offerings given to Yisrael’s (Israel’s) god Yahweh are their inheritance, just like he’d told them.[ref]
