Joshua 12
The Israelites conquered the eastern region beyond the Jordan, defeating Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan, and took possession of their lands. Moses delivered the conquered lands to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half of the tribe of Manasseh. Joshua and the Israelites also defeated 31 kings in the western region, from Baalgad to Seir, and delivered the land to the tribes of Israel as a possession.
1These are the kings whom the sons of Israel struck down, and whose land they possessed beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, from the torrent Arnon as far as mount Hermon, with the entire eastern region that looks out toward the wilderness2Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, and who had dominion from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and the valley in the middle, and one half of Gilead, as far as the torrent Jabbok, which is the border of the sons of Ammon3and from the wilderness, as far as the sea of Chinneroth toward the east, and to the Sea of the Wilderness, which is the very salty sea, to the eastern region, along the way that leads to Beth-jeshimoth, and from the southern region that lies under the descending slope of Pisgah4to the border of Og, the king of Bashan; from the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived in Ashtaroth, and at Edrei, and who had dominion on mount Hermon, and at Salecah, and into all of Bashan, even to its limits5with Geshur and Maacati, and one half of Gilead, these were the borders of Sihon, the king of Heshbon6Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the sons of Israel struck them down.

And Joshua delivered it as a possession to the tribes of Israel, to each one in their divisions8both in the mountains and in the plains and fields.
