OET (OET-RV) and Gilead, and the territory of the Geshurim and the Ma’akatim, and all Mt. Hermon, and all the Bashan as far as Salkah,
Before Moses died he had given land to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. In this section Yahweh reminded Joshua of the land that they still had not conquered. Then there is a detailed listing of the boundaries of the lands on the east side of the Jordan River.
Here is another possible section heading:
The land east of the Jordan River
also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites,
It extended to Gilead, and the territory of the Geshurites and the Maacathites,
It included Gilead Region, and the place where the Geshur people and the Maacath people lived.
also Gilead: The term Gilead indicates the mountainous region north of the Dead Sea. The Gilead Region stretched from the east side of the Jordan River to the desert.
The term Gilead occurred in 12:2 and you should translate it the same way in both places.
and the territory of the Geshurites: The term Geshurites indicates the people of the kingdom of Geshur. They were a small group who lived northeast of the Sea of Galilee.
The term Geshurites occurred in 12:5 and you should translate it the same way in both places.
and Maacathites: The term Maacathites indicates the people of Maacah. This was a small kingdom in modern Syria whose people continued to live in their land.
The term Maacathites occurred in 12:5 and you should translate it the same way in both places.
It may be more natural to begin a new sentence at the beginning of verse 11. Here is another way to translate it:
It also included Gilead Region, and the region where the Geshur people lived and the Maacath people lived
all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah—
and all of Mount Hermon and all of Bashan as far as Salecah.
It included all of Mount Hermon and Bashan Region as far as Salecah City.
all of Mount Hermon: The phrase all of Mount Hermon indicates Mount Hermon and its surrounding foothills. Mount Hermon was a high mountain that was the northern limit of Joshua’s conquests. It was in the northeast part of Israel. It formed the northwest limit of King Og’s kingdom.
The term Mount Hermon occurred in Joshua 11:3 and you should translate it the same way in both places.
and all Bashan: The territory of Bashan stretched south to the hills of northern Gilead, where Sihon’s territory began, and west to the Sea of Galilee. The east boundary of the Bashan territory was the desert.
The term Bashan occurred in Joshua 9:10| and you should translate it the same way in both places.
as far as Salecah: The name Salecah indicates a town on the east boundary of the territory of Bashan. Salecah was southeast of the Sea of Galilee.
The term Salecah occurred in 12:5 and you should translate it the same way in both places.
