How to Read the Bible

7 but they took all the cattle and the things taken in the cities for their prey.

8 And at that time we took out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, this land which is on this side of the Jordan, from the brook of the Arnon to Mount Hermon,

9 The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call him Senir,

10 all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salha and Edreiah, the cities of the kingdom of Og Bashan;

11 for only Og king of Bashan remained of the Rephaim. Behold, his bed, a bed of iron, and now in Rabbah, among the children of Ammon, the length thereof is nine cubits, and the breadth thereof is four cubits, the cubits of a man.

12 And we took this land at that time, beginning at Aroer, which is by the brook of the Arnon; and I gave half of Mount Gilead and its cities to the tribe of Reuben and Gad.

13 And the remnant of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh, all the region of the Args, with all Bashan.

14 Jairus the son of Manasseh took all the region of Arg, to the borders of Geshuri and Maacah, and called Bashan, after his name, the villages of Jairus, as to this day;

15 To Machir I have given Gilead;

16 And to the tribe of Reuben and to Gad he gave from Gilead to the brook of Arnon, the land between the brook and the border, to the brook of Jabok, the border of the children of Ammon,

17 And also the plain and the Jordan, which is also the boundary, from Kinnereth to the sea of the plain, the sea of salt, at the foot of Mount Pisgah to the east.

18 And I gave you at that time a commandment, saying, 'The Lord your God has given you this land for a possession; all ye that are capable of war, arming yourselves, go ahead of your brethren, the children of Israel;

19 Only your wives and your children and your cattle shall remain in your cities which I have given you,

20 until the LORD gives rest to your brethren like you, and until they also have possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them beyond the Jordan. then return every man to his possession which I have given you.
