“With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them;”
Transjordan allocation confirmed — With the other half-tribe of Manasseh the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them. The Transjordan allocation, previously described in Numbers 32, is confirmed. Reuben, Gad, and half-Manasseh receive their inheritance 'beyond the Jordan eastward' (עֵבֶר־הַיַּרְדֵּן מִזְרָחָה). The phrase 'as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them' establishes Moses' allocation as authoritative and continuing.
