13:24 The area assigned to Gad’s descendants

24 This was the land that Mosheh gave to the tribe of Gad, according to their clans: 25 It included Yazer and all the cities of Gilead and half of the land where the Ammonites had lived as far as Aroer opposite Rabbah, 26 then from Heshbon to Ramat-Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the Debir border. 27 Also in the valley, Beyt-Haram, Beyt-Nimrah, Succot, Zafon, and the rest of the kingdom of Sihon (the king of Heshbon), with the Yordan and the border, as far as the end of Lake Galilee, eastward beyond the Yordan River. 28 So that was the inheritance of Gad’s descendants—all the cities and their villages allocated to their clans.

Tribal Allotments of the Promised Land

After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
