13:15 The area assigned to Re’uven’s descendants

Promised land

15 This was the land that Mosheh (Moses) gave to the Re’uven tribe, according to their clans: 16 The area from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon riverbed) along to the town in the middle of the valley, to the plateau near Meydeva, 17 Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, including Divon, Bamot -Ba’al, Beyt -Ba’al-Me’on, 18 Yahats, Kedemot, Mofa’at, 19 Kiryatayim, Sivmah, and Tseret -Hashahar on the hill within the valley. 20 It also includes Beyt-Pe’or, the slopes of the Pisgah, Beyt-Hayeshimot, 21 and all the cities on the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon (the king of the Amorim who had reigned in Heshbon) who Mosheh had defeated, he and the leaders of Midyan: Evi and Rekem and Tsur and Hur and Reva (the princes of Sihon who had lived in the land). 22 The Israelis also killed Bil’am (Balaam) (Be’or’s son who practiced divination) along with others. 23 The border for Re’uven’s descendants was the Yarden (Jordan) river. So that was the inheritance of Re’uven’s descendants—all the cities and their villages allocated to their clans.
