So Moses gave
The act of giving here is significant, as it reflects Moses' role as a leader and mediator of God's will. The Hebrew root for "gave" is "נָתַן" (natan), which implies a deliberate and authoritative transfer of possession. This act is not merely a human decision but is seen as divinely sanctioned, reflecting God's promise and provision for His people. Moses, as a servant of God, is executing divine justice and mercy, ensuring that the tribes receive their inheritance.

to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
These tribes had requested to settle on the east side of the Jordan River, as the land was suitable for their large herds. The mention of these specific tribes highlights their unique role and situation among the Israelites. Historically, this decision was not without controversy, as it could be seen as a separation from the rest of Israel. However, it also demonstrates the flexibility within God's plan to accommodate the needs and desires of His people while maintaining unity and purpose.

son of Joseph
The reference to Manasseh as the "son of Joseph" is a reminder of the patriarchal lineage and the fulfillment of God's promises to the forefathers. Joseph, a key figure in Israel's history, was a symbol of God's providence and faithfulness. This connection underscores the continuity of God's covenant and the importance of heritage and identity in the unfolding of His divine plan.

the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan
These kingdoms were significant victories for the Israelites, representing God's power and favor in overcoming formidable enemies. The Amorites and Bashan were known for their strength and fortifications, yet they fell before Israel, demonstrating that no earthly power can withstand God's will. Archaeological findings have confirmed the existence of these kingdoms, providing historical context to the biblical narrative and affirming the reliability of Scripture.

the land together with its cities and the territory surrounding them
The comprehensive nature of the gift—land, cities, and surrounding territory—emphasizes the completeness of God's provision. The Hebrew word for "land" is "אֶרֶץ" (eretz), which often signifies not just physical territory but also a place of belonging and identity. This allocation of land was not just a physical inheritance but a spiritual one, symbolizing rest, security, and the fulfillment of God's promises. The cities and territories represent the infrastructure and resources necessary for the tribes to thrive, reflecting God's care for the holistic well-being of His people.

(33) And unto half the tribe of Manasseh . . . --This is the first mention of the tribe of Manasseh. The application for a grant of the land on the eastern side of the Jordan appears to have been made only by the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The explanation, however, of this mention of the half tribe of Manasseh is found in Numbers 32:39, from which it appears that a portion of that tribe had been chiefly, if not exclusively, engaged in the conquest of certain portions of Gilead and Bashan, and had, therefore, justly acquired a claim to the possession of the districts which they had subjugated. (See Deuteronomy 3:13-15.)

Verse 33. - And unto half the tribe of Manasseh. As no mention has been previously made of this tribe in this connection, we are left to conjecture why it should, contrary to all analogy, have been divided at all, and why the one half should have received the remote regions of Northern Gilead and Bashan. That the tribe was divided at all can only be explained by the pre-existence of some schism in its ranks, the probable origin and nature of which are discussed in the notes on verses 39, 41. The enormous increase in the tribal numbers during the wanderings (see on chapter Numbers 26:34) may have made the division more advisable, and the adventurous and independent character of the Machirites may have rendered it almost a necessity. They had not apparently preferred any request to Moses, but since the trans-Jordanic territory was to be occupied, Moses probably prevented a grave difficulty by recognizing their claim to the conquests they had made.
