Contextual Overview

²⁸ So Moses gave these commands to Eleazar, Joshua, and the other leaders of Israel: ²⁹ "If the men of Gad and Reuben cross the Jordan ready for battle at the Lord 's command and if with their help you are able to conquer the land, then give them the land of Gilead as their property. ³⁰ But if they do not cross the Jordan and go into battle with you, they are to receive their share of the property in the land of Canaan, as you do." ³¹ The men of Gad and Reuben answered, "Sir, we will do as the Lord has commanded. ³² Under his command we will cross into the land of Canaan and go into battle, so that we can retain our property here east of the Jordan." ³³ So Moses assigned to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and to half the tribe of Manasseh all the territory of King Sihon of the Amorites and King Og of Bashan, including the towns and the country around them. ³⁴ The tribe of Gad rebuilt the fortified towns of Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, ³⁵ Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, ³⁶ Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran. ³⁷ The tribe of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, 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.
