“And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;”
And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; -- the southern boundary is clarified: the Arnon marks the southern limit; the Jabbok marks the northern, with the Ammonite border beyond. The territorial specificity shows administrative precision.
