11. Gilead was also there, as well as the area where the people of Geshur and Maacah lived, and all of Mount Hermon and Bashan as far as Salecah.
12. All the kingdom of Og king of Bashan was in the land. Og was one of the last of the Rephaites, and in the past he ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. Moses had defeated them and had taken their land.
13. Because the Israelites did not force out the people of Geshur and Maacah, they still live among the Israelites today.
14. The tribe of Levi was the only one that did not get any land. Instead, they were given all the burned sacrifices made to the Lord, the God of Israel, as he had promised them.
15. Moses had given each family group from the tribe of Reuben some land:
16. Theirs was the land from Aroer near the Arnon Ravine to the town of Medeba, including the whole plain and the town in the middle of the ravine;
17. Heshbon and all the towns on the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon,
18. Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19. Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley,
20. Beth Peor, the hills of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth.
21. So that land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that Sihon king of the Amorites had ruled from the town of Heshbon. Moses had defeated him along with the leaders of the Midianites, including Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. All these leaders fought together with Sihon and lived in that country.
22. The Israelites killed many people during the fighting, including Balaam of Beor, who tried to use magic to tell the future.
23. The land given to Reuben stopped at the shore of the Jordan River. So the land given to the family groups of Reuben included all these towns and their villages that were listed.
