Numbers 32:16, 34-42

Numbers 32:16 NCV

Then the Reubenites and Gadites came up to Moses and said, “We will build pens for our animals and cities for our children here.

Numbers 32:34-42 NCV

The Gadites rebuilt the cities of Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran. These were strong, walled cities. And they built sheep pens. The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, Nebo, Baal Meon, and Sibmah. They renamed Nebo and Baal Meon when they rebuilt them. The descendants of Makir son of Manasseh went and captured Gilead and forced out the Amorites who were there. So Moses gave Gilead to the family of Makir son of Manasseh, and they settled there. Jair son of Manasseh went out and captured the small towns there, and he called them the Towns of Jair. Nobah went and captured Kenath and the small towns around it; then he named it Nobah after himself.
