Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:14 - Jair, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered the whole Argob region in Bashan, all the way to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. Jair renamed this region after himself, calling it the Towns of Jair,[fn] as it is still known today.)
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:15 - I gave Gilead to the clan of Makir.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:16 - But I also gave part of Gilead to the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The area I gave them extended from the middle of the Arnon Gorge in the south to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite frontier.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:19 - Your wives, children, and numerous livestock, however, may stay behind in the towns I have given you.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:24 - ‘O Sovereign LORD, you have only begun to show your greatness and the strength of your hand to me, your servant. Is there any god in heaven or on earth who can perform such great and mighty deeds as you do?
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:25 - Please let me cross the Jordan to see the wonderful land on the other side, the beautiful hill country and the Lebanon mountains.’

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:27 - But go up to Pisgah Peak, and look over the land in every direction. Take a good look, but you may not cross the Jordan River.
