32:33 So Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the realm of King Sihon of the Amorites, and the realm of King Og of Bashan, the entire land with its cities and the territory surrounding them. ⁵  32:34 The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 32:35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 32:36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks. 32:37 The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 32:38 Nebo, Baal Meon (with a change of name), and Sibmah.

12:2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived ⁷  in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) – including the city in the middle of the valley ⁸  and half of Gilead – all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory. 12:3 His kingdom included ⁹  the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Kinnereth ¹⁰  to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), ¹¹  including the route to Beth Jeshimoth and the area southward below the slopes of Pisgah.

Tribal Lands East of the Jordan

13:8 The other half of Manasseh, ¹⁵  Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, ¹⁶  just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them. 13:9 Their territory started ¹⁷  from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley), included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba as far as Dibon, 13:10 and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon, and ended at the Ammonite border. 13:11 Their territory also included ¹⁸  Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah – 13:12 the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. (He was one of the few remaining Rephaites.) ¹⁹  Moses defeated them and took their lands. ²⁰ 

Yosua 13:14-28

13:14 However, Moses ²¹  did not assign land as an inheritance ²²  to the Levites; their inheritance ²³  is the sacrificial offerings ²⁴  made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed ²⁵  them.

13:15 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Reuben ²⁶  by its clans. 13:16 Their territory started at Aroer ²⁷  (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) and included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba, 13:17 Heshbon and all its surrounding cities on the plain, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 13:18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 13:19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 13:20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth. 13:21 It encompassed ²⁸  all the cities of the plain and the whole realm of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon. Moses defeated him and the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba (they were subjects of Sihon and lived in his territory). ²⁹  13:22 The Israelites killed Balaam son of Beor, the omen reader, ³⁰  along with the others. ³¹  13:23 The border of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan. The land allotted to the tribe of Reuben by its clans included these cities and their towns. ³² 

13:24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad ³³  by its clans. 13:25 Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory ³⁴  as far as Aroer near ³⁵  Rabbah. 13:26 Their territory ran ³⁶  from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir. 13:27 It included the valley of Beth Haram, ³⁷  Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, and the rest of the realm of King Sihon of Heshbon, the area east of the Jordan to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth. ³⁸  13:28 The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns. ³⁹

[2:36]  ¹ sn Aroer. Now known as àAraáir on the northern edge of the Arnon river, Aroer marked the southern limit of Moab and, later, of the allotment of the tribe of Reuben (Josh 13:9, 16).

[2:36]  ² tn Heb “the city in the wadi.” This enigmatic reference may refer to Ar or, more likely, to Aroer itself. Epexegetically the text might read, “From Aroer…, that is, the city in the wadi.” See D. L. Christensen, Deuteronomy 1–11 (WBC), 49.

[4:48]  ³ tn The words “their territory extended” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 47-49 are all one sentence, but for the sake of English style and readability the translation divides the text into two sentences.

[4:48]  ⁴ sn Mount Siyon (the Hebrew name is שִׂיאֹן [si’on], not to be confused with Zion [צִיּוֹן, tsiyyon]) is another name for Mount Hermon, also called Sirion and Senir (cf. Deut 3:9).

[12:3]  ⁹ tn The words “his kingdom included” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[12:3]  ¹⁰ sn The Sea of Kinnereth is another name for the Sea of Galilee. See the note on the word “Kinnereth” in 11:2.

[12:3]  ¹¹ sn The Salt Sea is another name for the Dead Sea.

[12:4]  ¹² tn Heb “from the remnant of the Rephaites.”

[12:4]  sn The Rephaites were apparently an extremely tall ethnic group. See Deut 2:10-11, 20; 3:11.

[12:4]  ¹³ tn Or perhaps “who reigned.”

[12:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “gave it for a possession.”

[13:8]  ¹⁵ tn The MT reads “with him,” which is problematic, since the reference would be to the other half of the tribe of Manasseh (not the half mentioned in v. 7).

[13:8]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

[13:9]  ¹⁷ tn The words “their territory started” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[13:22]  ³⁰ tn Or “diviner.”

[13:22]  ³¹ tn Heb “Balaam son of Beor, the omen-reader, the Israelites killed with the sword, along with their slain ones.”

[10:33]  ⁴⁰ tn Grk “you have done well by coming.” The idiom καλῶς ποιεῖν (kalw" poiein) is translated “be kind enough to do someth.” by BDAG 505-6 s.v. καλῶς 4.a. The participle παραγενόμενος (paragenomeno") has been translated as an English infinitive due to the nature of the English idiom (“kind enough to” + infinitive).

[10:33]  ⁴¹ tn The translation “we are here in the presence of God” for ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ πάρεσμεν (enwpion tou qeou paresmen) is given by BDAG 773 s.v. πάρειμι 1.a.

[10:33]  ⁴² tn Or “to hear everything.”

[10:33]  ⁴³ tn The words “to say to us” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Cornelius knows Peter is God’s representative, bringing God’s message.
