“And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.”
And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about — Moses formally grants Transjordan to Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The territory includes lands previously conquered from Sihon (Amorites) and Og (Bashan), already subdued through the LORD's military victories. The specific mention of these two kingdoms invokes earlier conquest narratives (ch. 21) as precedent for this allocation.
