13:29 The area assigned to Menashsheh’s descendants

29 This was the land that Mosheh gave to half of the half-tribe of Menashsheh, according to their clans: 30 It went from Mahanaim, all the Bashan, all the kingdom of Og (the king of the Bashan), and all the towns of Yair, which are in the Bashan—sixty cities. 31 Also half of the Gilead, plus Ashtaroth and Edrei (cities of the kingdom of Og in the Bashan). So that was for half of Machir’s sons (he was one of Menashsheh’s sons) allocated to their clans.

32 This was the land that Mosheh gave as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the eastern side of the Yordan River opposite Yericho. 33 However, Mosheh didn’t give any inheritance of land to Levi’s descendants because Israel’s God Yahweh is their inheritance just as he told them.[ref]

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).
