And unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, etc.] The tribes of Reuben and Gad: I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon: (see <050312>Deuteronomy 3:12) half the valley and the border; or rather half the river, the river Arnon; and so it is rendered “the middle of the river”, in (<061202>Joshua 12:2) and so here the middle of the torrent by the Vulgate Latin and Septuagint versions, and by Onkelos: even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; beyond which the land given to the tribes of Reuben and Gad reached not; (see <050237>Deuteronomy 2:37).
