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

12:6 Moses the Lord’s servant and the Israelites defeated them and Moses the Lord’s servant assigned their land ¹⁵  to Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

[10:24]  ¹ tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style.
