Gilead and Bashan allocated — And Gilead, and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah. The extensive Transjordan territory—Gilead, Bashan, Mount Hermon, and the highland regions—is allocated to the tribes. The Geshurites and Maacathites, though not fully conquered, are noted as occupants within the allocated territory. The allocation includes more territory than Israel can immediately control, establishing the theoretical extent of the inheritance.
