Half-Manasseh's northern extent — Their territory extended from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the settlements of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities. Half-Manasseh receives the extensive Bashan territory, including Og's former kingdom and the 'settlements of Jair' (Jair-Havoth, 60 fortified sites). The specification of 60 cities indicates a substantial inheritance—Bashan is the most resource-rich of the Transjordan territories.
