OET (OET-RV) The border for Reuven’s descendants was the Yordan River. So that was the inheritance of Reuven’s descendants—all the cities and their villages allocated to their clans.
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
And the border of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan.
The west boundary of the clan of Reuben was the Jordan River.
The Jordan River marked the west side of the land that the clan of Reuben inherited.
And the border of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan: This clause indicates that the Jordan River was the western boundary of the land that belonged to the tribe of Reuben.
This was the inheritance of the clans of the Reubenites,
These were the places that the clan of Reuben inherited,
The places listed above were given to the clan of Reuben,
This was the inheritance of the clans of the Reubenites: The clause This was the inheritance indicates that God gave this land to belong to the tribe of Reuben. This summarizes the explanation of the area that the tribe of Reuben inherited, which began in 13:15.
of the clans of the Reubenites: The phrase of the clans of the Reubenites indicates that each clan of families within the tribe of Reuben received their own portion of the land. See how you translated the words “clan” and “family” in Joshua 7:14.
including the cities and villages.
for each of their sub-clans, including cities and villages.
with some cities and villages for each sub-clan.
including the cities and villages: Each family in the tribe of Reuben received certain cities and villages as their own. The term cities indicates settled areas with a wall around them to protect them. The term villages indicates small settled areas without walls.

the,Jordan and,a_territory
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word Jordan tells what river this was the border or shore of. Alternate translation: [the shore of the Jordan River]
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.
