8 Along with the other half of the half-tribe of Menasheh (Manasseh), the tribes of Re’uven and Gad had taken their inheritance on the other (eastern) side of the Yarden (Jordan) as approved by Yahweh’s servant Mosheh (Moses),[ref] 9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon riverbed, and the city that’s in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau near Meydeva, to Divon. 10 Also, all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorim who ruled in Heshbon, as far as the border with the Amonim, 11 and Gilead, and the territory of the Geshurim and the Ma’akatim, and all Mt. Hermon, and all the Bashan as far as Salkah, 12 all the kingdom of Og in the Bashan, who reigned in Ashtarot and in Edre’i (what remained from the remnant of the Refaim). Mosheh had attacked them and captured their lands. 13 But the Israelis didn’t capture the land of the Geshurim or the Ma’akatim and so those peoples live among the Israelis to this day.

14 The only tribe that didn’t receive an inheritance was the tribe of Levi because the offerings given to Yisrael’s (Israel) god Yahweh are their inheritance, just like he’d told them.[ref]
