Numbers 32:33-42 ▼

33 So Moses (drawn out) gave to the Gadites (troop), to the Reubenites (behold a son), and to the half-tribe of Manasseh (causing to forget) son of Joseph (YHWH has added) the kingdom of Sihon (warrior) king of the Amorites (sayers) and the kingdom of Og (long-necked) king of Bashan (fruitful)—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.

34 And the Gadites (troop) built up Dibon (wasting), Ataroth (crowns), Aroer (ruins),

35 Atroth-shophan (crowns of Shophan), Jazer (helped), Jogbehah (lofty),

36 Beth-nimrah (house of the leopard), and Beth-haran (house of their mount) as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.

37 The Reubenites (behold a son) built up Heshbon (stronghold), Elealeh (God is ascending), Kiriathaim (two cities),

38 as well as Nebo (prophet) and Baal-meon (lord of the habitation) (whose names were changed), and Sibmah (fragrance). And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.

39 The descendants of Machir (sold) son of Manasseh (causing to forget) went to Gilead (rocky region), captured it, and drove out the Amorites (sayers) who were there.

40 So Moses (drawn out) gave Gilead (rocky region) to the clan of Machir (sold) son of Manasseh (causing to forget), and they settled there.

41 Jair (he enlightens), a descendant of Manasseh (causing to forget), went and captured their villages and called them (villages of Jair) Havvoth-jair.

42 And Nobah (barking) went and captured Kenath (possession) and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
