“Them did Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the Lord gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.”
Moses' allocation of Transjordan — As for Moses the servant of the LORD, so he gave it to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The assignment of Transjordan lands under Moses' authority to the two-and-a-half tribes establishes the continuity of Moses' allocation through Joshua's confirmation. This verse bridges the earlier Transjordan allocation (Numbers 32) with Joshua's role in administering and confirming it.
