Contextual Overview

28 And Moses commanded Eleazar the priest concerning them, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel; 29 even Moses said to them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over the Jordan with you each armed for battle before Jehovah, and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give to them the land of Gilead for a possession. 30 But if they will not go over armed with you, they shall have possession among you in the land of Canaan. 31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben replied, saying, As Jehovah has said to your servants, so we will do. 32 We ourselves will go over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, so that the land of our inheritance on that side of Jordan may be ours. 33 And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, by its cities with their borders, even the cities of the land all around. 34 And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 35 and Ataroth-shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, 36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 37 And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

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.
