Numbers 34:14-28
Num 32:23, Num 32:33; Deut 3:12-17; Josh 13:8-12, Josh 14:2-3 two tribes These two tribes inherited the dominions of Sihon and Og, the two vanquished kings of the Amorites, which extended from the Arnon to Mount Hermon. Of those counties, Moses gave to the tribe of Reuben the south-west part, which was bounded on the south by the river Arnon, on the west by Jordan, and on the north and east by the tribe of Gad. The tribe of Gad was bounded by the river Jordan and tribe of Reuben on the west, by the half tribe of Manasseh on the north, by the kingdom of the Amorites and Arabia Deserta on the East, and by the tribe of Reuben on the south. The part belonging to the tribe of Manasseh was bounded by the tribe of Gad on the south, by the sea of Galilee and part of Jordan on the west, by Hermon and Lebanon on the north, and by the mountains of Trachonitis on the east. on this side Jordan Num 32:32 are the names It is worthy of remark, that Moses does not follow any order hitherto used in arranging the tribes, but places them exactly in the order in which they possessed the land, and according to their fraternal relationship. Judah is first, having the first lot, in the South (Josh 15:1); and next to him is Simeon, because his inheritance was "within the inheritance of the children of Judah" (Josh 19:1). Benjamin, the third, had his portion between "Judah and the children of Joseph" (Josh 18:11). Dan was the fourth, and his lot was westward of Benjamin (Josh 19:40-41). Manasseh and his brother Ephraim had their inheritances behind that of Benjamin (Josh 16:7). Next these dwelt Zebulun and Issachar (Josh 19:10-17); and then Asher and Naphtali (Josh 19:24-32).
