Contextual Overview

²⁸ So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel. ²⁹ And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage: ³⁰ But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan. ³¹ Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do. ³² We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan. ³³ So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them. ³⁴ And the children of Gad were the builders of Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer; ³⁵ And Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah; ³⁶ And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep. ³⁷ And the children of Reuben were the builders of Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh,.... That is, to the children of Machir, who went and took it; though some say, as Aben Ezra observes, that Machir himself was now alive, and that it was given to him, but that is not probable; for, supposing him to be living when the children of Israel came out of Egypt, all that came from thence, who were twenty years old and upwards, died in the wilderness, excepting two, see Numbers 32:11,

and he dwelt therein; that is, the family of the Macharite; see

Numbers 26:29.
