Nine cubits was its length, and four cubits its width, according to the cubit of a man. 12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half the mountain of Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which is called the land of giants. 14 Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the country of Argob to the borders of Geshuri and Maachathi; and he called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, to this day. 15 And I gave Gilead to Machir. 16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon, half the valley, and the border even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 17 The plain also, and the Jordan, and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under the eastern slopes of Pisgah.
