OET (OET-RV) Heshbon and all it’s cities on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamot-Baal, Beyt-Baal-Meon,
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
to Heshbon
It included Heshbon
It included Heshbon City
to Heshbon: In some languages it may be more natural to begin a new sentence. For example:
It included Heshbon
Heshbon: Heshbon was the capital city of King Sihon. You should translate the name of this town the same way you did in 13:10a.
and all its cities on the plateau,
and all the cities on the plain near Heshbon:
and the other cities in the Medeba Plateau.
and all its cities on the plateau: The phrase and all its cities on the plateau indicates all the towns that Sihon king of the Amorites ruled. They were in the plateau or tableland that was near Medeba. These towns are listed in the following verses.
including Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,
Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
These are Dibon City, Bamoth-baal Region, Beth-baal-meon City,
including Dibon: Dibon was a large town that was captured by Israel (Numbers 21:30). Its name today is Dhiban and it is thirteen miles east of the Dead Sea and three and a half miles north of the Arnon Gorge.13:17 Bratcher and Newman, p. 232.
Bamoth-baal: The term Bamoth-baal indicates the area northeast of the Dead Sea to which Balak took Balaam to curse Israel (Numbers 22:41). Bamoth-baal is not a town, but an area or a region.13:17 Rasmussen p. 228.
Here is another way to spell this name:
Bamoth Baal (NIV, NET)
Beth-baal-meon: The term Beth-baal-meon indicates a town that was twenty-three miles southwest of Amman, Jordan, and ten miles east of the Dead Sea. Its name today is Ma’in.13:17 Rasmussen, p. 228, 229.
Here is another way to spell the name of this town:
Beth Baal Meon (NIV, NET)
13:15-23 Because Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn son by Leah (Gen 29:32), forfeited his birthright by sleeping with his father’s concubine (Gen 35:22), the inheritance of his tribe was not of central importance. Although the tribe received a fertile portion of land, it was difficult to defend from neighboring nations. The tribe of Reuben eventually lost the southern portion to Moab.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
