Josephus' two half-portions — For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them. The five Transjordan portions (Reuben, Gad, half-Manasseh) are noted, and the Levites' exclusion is reiterated. The text establishes that only nine-and-a-half tribes receive western land.
