Deuteronomy 3:12-13
Summary for Deut 3:12-20: 3:12-20 a See Num 32 b. 3:12 c The tribes of Reuben and Gad had asked Moses to let them settle east of the Jordan rather than in Canaan, and he allowed them to do so (Num 32:1-5 d).• Aroer: See study note on Deut 2:36.
3:13 e The half-tribe of Manasseh made the same request as Reuben and Gad (3:12 f), and Moses accepted their request. Gad and Reuben settled between the Arnon (see 2:24 g) and the middle of Gilead (see 2:36 h), and Manasseh took everything north of that, including Bashan (see 3:1 i).
• The Rephaites, a giant people related to the Anakites (see 2:11 j), are noted here as being indigenous to Bashan.
