Joshua 13:31
And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families. And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
Half Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were assigned as the inheritance pertaining to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families, as the territory of the half-tribe of Manasseh descended from Machir according to their families. This apportionment belongs to Joshua 13-22, the account of the distribution of the land of Canaan among the tribes, which accurately describes property and is based on written documents. The book of Joshua in which it stands is the first of the twelve historical books recording the history of the chosen people from their first occupation of the land of Canaan as a nation to the return from the captivity.
