on the
east side.
With whom... That is, with the other half of that same tribe.
13:9. From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in
the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, as far as Dibon:

13:11. And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount
Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,
13:12. All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and
Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and

the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes
