Joshua 13:24-28

Land Still Remaining and the Eastern Tribal Inheritances

The LORD tells aged Joshua that much land remains, commands him to allot the land, and the chapter records the eastern inheritances already given to Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, while emphasizing that Levi’s inheritance is the LORD Himself.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

24This is what Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Gad:

25The territory of Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;

26the territory from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

27and in the valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, with the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon (the territory on the east side of the Jordan up to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth).

28This was the inheritance of the clans of the Gadites, including the cities and villages.
