Joshua 13:30

Joshua 13:30

28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.

Half the Tribe of Manasseh (East)

29 ^aMoses also had given an inheritance to half the tribe of Manasseh; it was for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families:

30 Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and ^aall the towns of Jair which are in Bashan, sixty cities;

31 half of Gilead, and ^aAshtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the ^bchildren of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.

32 These are the areas which Moses had¹ distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward.

33 ^aBut to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, ^bas He had said to them.

Joshua 13:31 >>

Of Jair - Who, though of the tribe of Judah, by the father, I Chronicles 2:21-22, yet is called the son of Manasseh, Numbers 32:41, because he married a daughter of Manasseh, and wholly associated himself with those valiant Manassites; and with their help took sixty cities or great towns, Deuteronomy 3:4, Deuteronomy 3:14, which thence were called the towns of Jair.
